I am reading this and it's an eye-opener. You wanna know how we get out of this? Learn how we got here.

I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year.

The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

“The Founders would never believe that it would ever come to pass that one state militia could be sent to another state for the purposes of political retribution”

THAT PART!

Thank you, Judge Perry.

Seconded!

1. Today, I have a few things to say about that putz Stephen Miller. First, he’s been on TV a lot lately, because that’s how he pours more poison into the president’s already-poisoned brain.

Most of Dem Senators did not attack Bondi yesterday as they should have. Among other things they should have said, "You're lying again, Ms. Bondi" and "That's a bald-faced lie, Ms. Bondi."

The rapid rise of authoritarianism is no place for etiquette.

Country fans are upset with Zach Bryan after he criticized ICE in a song.

But don't let it be known that Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash all despised fascism and leaned heavily to the left.

ICE agents aren’t masculine. They’re bullies. I can’t stop thinking about this video of an ICE agent violently shoving a crying wife to the ground.

Wisdom, moral imagination, an enlarged sympathy for those who live or have lived differently from yourself. This is what you get from studying the Humanities. So quite important, actually.

What is antifa?

Of all the many, many questions Pamela Jo Bondi refused to answer today, the most incendiary was about whether she's seen photos of Donald Trump with unclothed underage girls. It is so damning that she couldn't just say, "No."

When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

"Business has been arranged to suit men; women, upon entering any new branch of labor, are required to accept its existing conditions. There are many kinds of work which women could do perfectly well if they could modify these conditions. ”

I don't understand why I see things so differently. I see a health insurance industry that thinks it's entitled to charge people 1/3rd of their income for healthcare. That industry shouldn't be "fixed." It should be burned to the ground and its ashes pissed on.

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

“We are home now. We marched from the park to ICE, very peaceful crowd. We were standing around ICE pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile. This was so unprovoked. People have to know that the Feds are attacking people with NO provocation whatsoever.”

"If you didn’t hear about Trey Reed or Chicago you’re already half-way to getting my point. Our social media feeds are being manipulated. Social media is a loaded gun and we’re all toddlers playing cowboys and Indians while our parents cook dinner."

Turning 67 What I read: On Aging by Maya Angelou.

I just re-read this more than four years after writing it and at 71 years of age I am not sure I have much I can add to it. It still sums up my best advice for living a better life.

A.I. Is Homogenizing Our Thoughts Recent studies suggest that tools such as ChatGPT make our brains less active and our writing less original.

Older technologies have aided and perhaps enfeebled writers. “But with A.I. we’re so thoroughly able to outsource our thinking that it makes us more average, too,” Kyle Chayka writes.

I'm so proud of my sister, who was head writer for Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood and is now the showrunner of this brand-new HORTON! series for Netflix.

There is no purer distillation of Trumpism than pointing a rifle at someone’s face and snarling “I’m the victim here. Pity me or I’ll shoot, damn you!”

Michael Anton, longtime MAGA intellectual, to exit State Dept. A member of President George W. Bush’s National Security Council, Anton later urged reluctant conservatives to back Donald Trump in 2016.

I’m sorry in advance, but this deranged thing is probably one of the most influential pieces of writing in the past half century and helps one understand a lot about the current year claremontreviewofbooks.com/digital/the-...

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

Please watch her final words to us all. They are beautiful and have given me a grounding sort of hope. Maybe they’ll help you too.
