Class 47. Cultural Touchstones: Can Arts, Entertainment, and Sports Bring Us Together? (FREE BONUS) Why we need to recover the shared experiences, rituals, and culture that transcend differences and connect us as Americans.

I wrote in my Substack about cultural touchstones โ€” like music, sports, and entertainment โ€” as the connective tissue that reminds us of who we are, as Americans.

If you need a palate cleanser or a pleasant trip down memory lane, give this a read.

Google joins presidential bribe club It's a "settlement." WINK WINK.

Yes, this is the payment of a bribe with a thin legal veil. Yes, the executives authorizing the payment may be prosecuted for public corruption crimes. Which is why Trump has dismantled the whole part of the DOJ that deals with public corruption.

GOP misleads with claim that Democrats shut down to give health care to 'illegal immigrants' U.S. law prohibits federal health care benefits for undocumented immigrants. Democrats want to return benefits for those with lawful presence, like DACA recipients and asylum-seekers.

TL;DR Republicans are lying about the shutdown. ๐Ÿšจ

Undocumented immigrants have been barred from fed health care subsidies since 1996.

The fight is over DACA recipients, refugees & temporary protected status holders. GOP bill blocks them; Dem bill restores access + Medicaid funding.
