I’m not going to sugarcoat this. We’re in the worst national emergency of our lives. It is not coming directly from threats we should be coping with — climate change destroying our planet, another pandemic threatening millions of lives, artificial intelligence taking over our jobs and brains, nuclear proliferation threatening the future of life on […]

In loving memory of my very dear 6-foot-7-inch Republican senator friend. My old friend Senator Alan Simpson died this morning. He was 93. Our friendship began at one of those interminable Washington receptions I had grown to hate. They were always stand-up events where I was expected to engage in small talk with dozens if […]

Friends, from time to time I burden you with some personal stuff, based on my belief that our values begin with who we are and where we came from. So today I want to get very personal and tell you why I’m so short — a condition that led to lots of bullying and ridicule […]

Friends, I want to talk today about the media’s coverage of the Trump-Vance-Musk coup. I’m not referring to coverage by the bonkers right-wing media of Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News and its imitators. I’m referring to the U.S. mainstream media — The New York Times, The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, The Atlantic, The New […]

Friends, Musk’s rats continue to burrow into sensitive government payment systems. According to the best source I’ve found on this (Nathan Tankus’s Crises Notes), Musk and his rats have now gained unrestricted access to your Social Security number, your confidential bank information, your confidential medical information, and much more. Musk boasts that his team is […]

Friends, I want to share with you some thoughts about the third hellish week of Trump II. As of Friday, Trump has signed more than 50 executive orders, covering every aspect of American life and much foreign policy. It’s not just that this number of executive orders is unprecedented in modern American politics. Many are […]

As Trump talks about taking over Gaza (“beautiful shoreline”), Greenland (“great minerals”), Panama (“very strategic”), and making Canada the 51st state, the media has gone ape-shite wild. Meanwhile, Trump’s goons are taking over the federal government without congressional authority and very little public awareness. They’re using two techniques. The first is to physically take over […]
