Dave Willat was just 11 years old when he showed up for what he thought would be a routine church choir practice in 1965. He and his fellow singers ended up making history.
We caught up with one of the kids who sang on 'A Charlie Brown Christmas.' He's 72 now

Tomás Sánchez (Havana, 1948) is one of the most important contemporary painters in Latin America. Known for his meticulous and atmospheric landscapes, the artist explores nature as a space of silence, contemplation, and spiritual introspection.

If a handful of non-democratically appointed people, or a group of elected officials with power wildly disproportionate to the size of their constituencies, can simply veto consensus policies, no amount of political savvy is going to give you a government run by popular will.

Trump retreats on Epstein files. Three lessons:
1. It can be easier to fracture the MAGA coalition than get "responsible" Republicans to step up.
2. Democrats should fight rather than find reasons not to fight.
3. Dems need to be anti-elitist not just anti-GOP.

Absolutely no way to read this and not conclude that the Department of Justice has been deeply corrupted. And this is from a time when career lawyers were in place, pushing back against illegality. With firings and resignations, the politicization will just get worse.
