More than anything honor the words of Gov Tim Walz: “If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom. It is privilege.” Do justly. Love mercy. Walk humbly. Be kind.

The imperial aesthetic at the heart of Donald Trump’s presidency In addition to his accumulation of political power, Trump has embraced visual cues designed to project personal command and grandeur.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"
