Not sure I can defend this, but Stevie Wonder’s five mid-70s records (from Music of My Mind to Songs in the Key of Life) are the only music I ever play on the 4th of July. They are America to me. They’re my Sousa marches.

Donald Trump was *humiliated* yesterday. Make no mistake, a man with such a brittle ego will lash out at innocent people to pretend he controls the narrative. He doesn't. We do.

In 2023, 76% of undergraduates attended a public institution of higher education, according to IPEDS (long may it last!).

This isn't hypothetical.
The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

Four R senators and four R House members could announce they're caucusing with the Dems for now, and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker, because the threat to the rule of law is dire. Meanwhile, they'll work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.
