Another Madison landmark, Lombardino's Family Restaurant. Delicious food in an atmosphere frozen in amber in 1955. Interestingly, the family that owned and ran Lombardino's between ~1965-95 lived in our house!

Medical debt should not exist - and yet it’s one of the top reasons Americans file for bankruptcy.
Any healthcare plan that doesn’t start with the recognition that medical care is a basic human right grossly misses the mark.

This reads like Grok’s 3rd effort. “Now make it even less cool."

This is what happens when you give Republicans three branches of government.
Quotes on the economy, last few days:
* WSJ: “Life felt more doable a year and a half ago.”
* CBS: “Paying for the house, the car — I just couldn’t do it anymore.”
* FT: “scraping for crumbs.”

Every single member of this administration is, deep down, Troy from the Goonies
When you draw a platoon leader like Hegseth, it’s your worst nightmare. You just ride it out until he’s gone and gets replaced by someone who isn’t a complete jackass. Only a fool like Trump would put one of them in charge of the entire defense department.

When the BSA is too woke, you’re in huge trouble. No Republican administration can afford to lose the Unit 41 vote.
Hegseth is very very terrified, deep deep down of something to do with maleness www.npr.org/2025/11/25/n...
U.S. ready to cut support to Scouts, accusing them of attacking 'boy-friendly spaces'

Since I started grad school, I have indexed hundreds and hundreds of books. I love it, and I have learned so much.
Every time I write a book, though, I hire someone else to index it. Because indexing one’s own book is a madness-inducing nightmare.

Larger media outlets have wavered since the first Trump term, but we've remained steadfast in our categorical rejection of MAGA in all its aspects and our affirmation of liberal democracy and the principles that it rests on.

I don’t want to seem like I’m dunking, but… wasn’t he “benched" all last year?
New on @athlonsports.bsky.social Sports: Last season, the Panthers benched Bryce Young for his own good -- so he could calm down and see the game differently. It worked.
It's time for the Vikings to see if a benching works for J.J. McCarthy. He's lost out there. athlonsports.com/other-sports...

Because the Liberal Currents writers have actual values, they are, almost uniquely among media, able to react our fascist moment not by asking “What if all our beliefs are wrong? What if we went too far with all the democracy and fairness stuff?” but by asking “How do we beat the fascists again?”

For my grad seminar tomorrow, we'll be discussing @lioneltrolling.bsky.social's WHEN THE CLOCK BROKE and @pastpunditry.bsky.social's PARTISANS. A parallel I only just noticed: Ch 6 of Ganz's book is entitled, "Rage," and Ch 6 of Hemmer's book is called, "Angry White Men-And Women."

Thinking again, as always, about Cavell’s 1979 mid-paragraph dagger: “[language] is an endless field of possibility and it cannot dictate what is said now…. Which is to say that language is not only an acquirement but a bequest; and… we are stingy in what we attempt to inherit."
Neither Trump, nor half of his cabinet have “ancestors” who were in North America before the revolution. I’d guess that less than half of current US citizens do. “Your ancestors” is doing a lot of implicitly white Christian nationalist work here.
