And we’d still have a democracy in that alternate reality where, unfortunately, no one lives.

“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

Autumn shakes off
the last leaves from the trees.
My mood is slightly better.
This damn long war sits on my shoulders.
I wish it were like an autumn leaf.

Long wars wear people down.
But worn-out people keep going.

Khanna: "We should ban any elected official from having cryptocurrency and accepting foreign money, which the Trump family has done from UAE and from this foreign billionaire."

“There isn't a proper word in English for this kind of lying. But there's a Russian word: vranyo. It means: "You know I’m lying, and I know that you know, and you know that I know that you know, but I tell the lie with a straight face, and you nod seriously and take notes.” - Tim Weiner

My friend Mark Mardell was chucked off his Turkish Airlines flight at the weekend because he had Parkinson’s and his son had asked for assistance for him. (He’s written about it as a public post on Facebook but the link is proving hard to share outside,)

Did Kristen go on to explain why this type of financing arrangement invites corruption, which is why projects of this type are meant to be approved and financed by Congress?

Donald Trump is telling his DOJ to prosecute people involved in defeating him in 2020. He will claim the 2025 California referendum was fraudulent. He is going to try to impose voter ID and ban mail-in and early voting for 2026.

I will do everything I can in the courtroom and in public to stop him.
