If John Lennon and George Harrison came back from the dead, reunited with Paul and Ringo and booked a month long residency at the “T****-Kennedy Center,” and someone offered me free tickets, I would flush them down the nearest toilet. I will never again set foot in that once-honorable building.

The economic rug is being pulled out from under workers. If it’s really about family financial matters, they will turn on Trump. If it’s about anti-wokeness, they won’t
We’ll know pretty soon.

I think we’re about to see a head to head test of two competing explanations of the weakness of the Democratic Party among the working class. One is the “it’s the economy, stupid” theory. The other is Sabato’s contention that it’s really about culture war and racial issues.

It's heartening that today the leaders of the two major parties in Germany are unequivocally anti-Nazi and anti-fascist.
It's horrifying that today the president and vice-president of the United States of America are not.

Until this week, I distilled my chief concerns into three core issues. I call them my “grandkids” issues, because my five grandchildren will be more affected by these than I will. In no particular order, they are climate, guns, and the survival of democracy.
