Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Epstein’s emails are the end of America as they ruined it
If the evil banality of the world's most powerful people exposed in the Epstein emails doesn't cause a revolution, nothing will.

This week, I’m hosting The Daily Show Tuesday through Thursday.
It’s my first time hosting anything on TV. Ever.
I’ve spent years writing behind the scenes, learning from truly great and talented people. Now, for three nights, I get to sit at the desk and do it myself.

Trump wants a confrontation, wants to see the situation erupt. No American president should behave like this. No kings.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Extraordinary letter from my former professor, Archibald Cox.
Makes me sad re-reading this amazing letter from ex-Watergate Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox sent to high school seniors in 1994 after they asked him “What should Americans learn from Watergate?” 20 years later in ‘94.
His answer is remarkable—unfortunately things didn’t work out so well in 2024.

I’m going to say something historians rarely say.
We haven’t been here before.
We haven’t had a near-authoritarian takeover of our government.
Admittedly, we don’t know what comes next.
There’s a wide array of options.
But know that in the US, this is new ground. And none of this is normal.

This is actually yesterday‘s letter, but I’ve been thinking about it for the past 24 hours. I work in a K-4 school and I’m looking at all the children and adults this will harm. My heart is heavy.
