A CNN poll says 33% of all Democrats identify as Democratic Socialists and 42% of Democrats under 35. They are portraying this as a disaster. Seriously? Has anyone been watching what far-right extremism has been doing to this country?

Rep. Raskin: “You ignored the law and even with over 100,000 employees at your disposal, you acted with some mixture of staggering incompetence, cold indifference, and jaded cruelty towards more than 1,000 victims raped, abused, and trafficked. This performance screams cover-up.”

Thoroughly enjoyed this one. Learned some history. Met some fascinating characters. Leaned into the weird while remaining very human.
“A winsome tale of wondrous misfits and unlikely kinships, The Legend of Charlie Fish channels all the wit and melancholy of the great Charles Portis. Part adventure story, part lament, the whole is a triumph of voice and heart.”
