There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.
It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.
We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.
We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

Let's say it again:
1) Harvard said "No," and Trump has backed off.
2) Chicago (and Illinois) said "No," and Trump has backed off.
It's day by day. But those who said "OK, sure," have gained nothing at all. Except shame.

Five years ago, on June 30, 2020, Illinois named John Prine the state's first Poet Laureate. It was a posthumous honor; John passed on April 7 of that year.
His last recorded song was "I Remember Everything." Like so much of his work, it's simple, poignant, and beautiful.

We didn't completely "get" Elvis until we saw this. In the early days of cable it was a staple: The Comeback Special, first aired on NBC in June of '68. For a long time it was unavailable on digital media, but it's out there now!
