One of several important global stories that US media have chosen to ignore is the final crushing of Turkish democracy by the Turkish Padișah, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Apparently it's just another sign of the times, likely to arrive on these shores in just a few more weeks.

Trump’s disgusting behavior in our Oval Office in the company of a genuine hero and defender of democracy like Volodymyr Zelensky may be the most disgraceful public behavior by any president in our history.

If nothing else, and way too late, people who believed that government does nothing of value are now getting some remedial civic education.
Do you use a credit card? Rent or own a home? Use utilities like water and electricity? Send your kids to school? Have a job? Eat? Drink? Deposit money in a bank, or withdraw it? The government provides services and safeguards that enable us to do ALL of this safely. Now Musk is taking it all away.

Last night Timothy Snyder talked with Rachel about the idea of a shadow government to serve as a model and reminder of what is possible from a government of qualified people instead of Fox guests and family members.

I’m having trouble imagining the 🍊💩 ever watching holiday movies with his family. Or for that matter, anything that remotely resembles what average families do around the holidays. Have they baked cookies? Decorated a tree? Wrapped gifts? Wore matching PJs? I’m thinking not. Elf said it best.
