Trying to remember how we secured our laptops and phones when traveling to countries ruled by dictators. Sad and angry to now put my own country in that category.

Shocked to hear that the mother-in-law of billionaire Howard Nudnick wouldn’t complain if Social Security skipped sending her a check.
9/11/2001- Nudnick skipping sending paychecks owed to his employees who died at WTC.
Those families did complain. Loud and clear.

I first saw something about this yesterday, and here is more….

One Word Describes Trump A century ago, a German sociologist explained precisely how the president thinks about the world.

This is a very important read. It has valuable lessons for how we get out of our current crisis.

Opinion | There are ample reasons, not about his personal life, for rejecting Hegseth There is no evidence that Pete Hegseth would be capable of managing the Pentagon behemoth.

A rare event... I applaud George Will for saying about Hegseth what should have been said more forcefully by Democrats.

Analysis | The GOP’s stunning response to Trump pardoning those who assaulted police Trump has worn his party down, and few events crystallize it like the GOP’s muted -- and in some cases positive -- response.

Bipartisanship is impossible when there is no GOP on the other side of the table. View every "bipartisan" deal with suspicion. You can't preserve democracy by dealing with lawless criminals.

Best explanation of TikTok experience and reasons for ban I have seen. www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2JBFYh7/

Why are people calling it RedNote? Not sure, except the name actually translates to Little Red Book. And if you know your Chinese history....

Wow! If you are not on TikTok, you are missing something huge. TikTok users en masse have flipped off the US government and migrated to another Chinese App called Red Book. They are learning Mandarin, meeting Chinese people, and learning about life in China. It is a massive intercultural experience.

Hard to listen to Hegseth without barging. This is a man who interfered with the military justice system to pardon a convicted member of our military guilty of war crimes. That is not leadership and it is not acceptable.

January 13, 2025 The incoming Trump administration is working to put its agenda into place.

Do not avert your gaze from this!!! It is a threat to democracy and our security.

Republicans say they want to put conditions on wildfire aid to California California and other Democratic-controlled states would need to atone for “bad behavior” if they wanted federal assistance, one lawmaker said.
