Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

I found every aspect of Tom Wilkinson's performance as Franklin to be astonishing. It's like Day-Lewis as Lincoln, it's a hell of a task to connect those things. Just his voice alone. Franklin's people were from Northamptonshire. You hear that, and you hear Boston, and you hear Philadelphia.

It’s easy to forget that our Founding Fathers were all immigrants. Ben Franklin was an honorable Englishman—until he wasn’t.

I'm going to talk about the Hutchinson Letters Affair, because it's an important episode that's not often taught in schools, and I think it's instructive.

First, it staves off apathy, cynicism, and despair.

Second, it demonstrates to those who might use violence against innocent civilians that they would be doing so against grannies, kids, neighbors.

Third, it shows allies and partners that the America they need is alive.

Here is my question, and it’s an earnest one I promise: whose mind will it change and to what end?

I don’t have any answers about what we need to do. But like, we did protests in 2017, and 2020. Among the biggest in NATIONAL HISTORY. Voting in my opinion has a much more direct effect than this.

Richard M. Nixon @dicknixon.bsky.social · 2d

The numbers I am seeing, and the breadth of people and places with basically no arrests and so forth, seem to me an unqualified political loss for them. It is a show of strength rather than the fight itself, but you can’t downplay it.

Bob McMichael, 63, and his wife, Leslie, 62, are retired and make about $42,000 a year. They currently pay $51 a month for their ACA plan. Late last month, they got a notice that their monthly premium would increase to $2,232 next year without the subsidies.

Idaho kicks off Affordable Care Act open enrollment as premiums are set to rise nationwide

About 25,000 Idahoans are likely to drop their coverage for next year when enhanced subsidies expire.
