Memo to Schumer, King, Hassan et. al., especially Nevada Senator Catherine Cortez-Masto: Thanks for nothing. Thanks for throwing millions under the bus again. Now fuck off.

Public libraries are receiving a clear mandate from voters this November: when presented with the choice, communities are willing to invest in their information infrastructure, programming, and future.

What a speech. What a night. Hope abides.
"Here we believe in standing up for those we love, whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many black women Trump has fired, a single mom waiting for the cost of groceries to go down, or anyone else with your back against the wall. Your struggle is ours too."

Thank you New Jersey, Virginia, NYC, and my beloved birth state of California. You give us hope. Justice and decency and equity will prevail.

Bari Weiss is in the CBS News seat less than a month and Trump is on “60 Minutes” to spew his bullshit. Coincidence? I think not.

My latest “Meet Me At the Corner” post takes me to the Owens Valley of my youth to check out some petroglyphs, commune with nature, revisit some history, and escapeif only for a few moments last January, the coming political storm.

Just for fun and in honor of the Ryder Cup this week, I turn the page 20 years to an interview I did with golfer and longtime TV commentator David Feherty, in 2005 for Fairways & Greens magazine.

So much gratitude as another Easter winds down. A spouse who loves me. Four incredible kids. A roof. Food in the fridge. Many, many friends. Continued good health. May our nation join me in gratitude and the spirit of love, though hate, greed and ignorance knock on the door and, yes, hold the keys.

My man Tim Noah lays out a detailed guide to joining The Resistance, by any means available, doable, or necessary. Or all three.

A good ad by one of us, with no agenda but the truth.
This is fabulous!
I've been protesting, but I decided to do something different. I made an ad. I've given a lot of thought as to how to communicate without confrontation to Republican voters, non-voters, or Trumpers who are beginning to be concerned. I hope you'll watch - it's only 30 seconds. youtu.be/bp6XUjteeV4

If even half of the traitorous and cowardly senators up for re-election in 2026 are retained, America is finished.
20% of federal civilian employees are veterans
NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

What remained of the rest of the free world’s trust in America evaporated today, thanks to the Traitor-in-Chief and his sniveling sidekick. We are no longer a world power and don’t deserve to be.

A spot-on, unvarnished, infuriatingly factual summation of what American voters unleashed on the world, and themselves, in November.

After 55 years as a fan and nearly 30 years as a golf journalist, the PGA Tour is dead to me now. Bending the knee to Lump and MBS signals the end of the enterprise as we know it. Tiger, Adam Scott, Rory: Greed got the best of them. A sad, sad day for pro golf fans.

An unmitigated disaster in the making. Planning to visit Yosemite or any other National Park this year? Brace yourselves—then ask how this could have happened to our most beloved and once-protected landscapes. This is what the electorate hath wrought.
