Since Trump’s retaking office on January 20, 2025, we have only carped at his childish actions, which get more destructive by the month. But we mustn’t complain. He is doing exactly what we let him do. Continue reading →

Murkowski’s Faux Morality

Although Senator Murkowski of Alaska fiercely defended her vote for Trump’s OBBB thus clearing the way for its passage into law, Murkowski denied she had sold out. Who could think such a thing? she asked bitterly. Lots of us. Continue reading →
