"I don’t know if we are in a battle for the soul of the nation, as Biden once said. I don’t know if nations have souls. And if they do, I’m not sure ours wasn’t lost long ago. What I do know is that if there are no consequences for what these Trump villains are doing now, there is no coming back."
A "Zahltag" Moment, in a United States of “On To Cincinnati”
The crimes of Trump & Epstein are heinous, dark, and deep—but the perpetrators walk free. To survive as a democracy, we can't "turn the page." We must hold the traitors to account. Here's how.

I read a ton of reactions to Bad Bunny’s halftime show, both here and in the bad place.
I watched the show again this morning.
Yes, it was an incredible performance. Joyful, emotional, uplifting.
It was a love letter to humanity…to Puerto Rico…and more.
