Some good columns you may wish to read:
On Hopium Chronicles (both text and video), Simon Rosenberg asks for Democratic Party leadership to pen a “Letter to America” loudly stating what the Trump / Musk administration is doing — Trump-Musk Are Committing Crimes, Tearing Up The Constitution, Betraying The Country – And Dems Need To Say So, Loudly
On Wonkette, Robyn Pennacchia discusses double-standards in MAGA Outraged Florida AG Investigating Admitted Human Trafficker/Rapist Andrew Tate. Meanwhile, Evan Hurst discusses Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s reduced position in Oh No! Trump Is Ignoring Marco Rubio And He Is So Upset! Oh No!
Robert Reich discusses Elon Musk’s take on Social Security in The biggest Ponzi scheme in history.
Dr. Zachary Rubin suggests techniques for productive discussions with ideologically-locked people in A guide to addressing vaccine hesitancy (these techniques are likely more-broadly useful, beyond just medical topics).
That is, if you have a few million dollars to spend.
While everybody’s been distracted by Trump’s record-length falsehood-stuffed speech to Congress, most of the national media has missed some recent reporting by Wired. The bottom line is that Trump is hosting (or, at least, starring at) fund raising events — not that these are campaign fund raisers, obviously. No, the money’s supposedly being raised for his future presidential library — that, for a man who famously does not read.
The price of admission is a bit steep, though. If you want a private dinner with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, it’ll set you back a cool $5 million. But maybe you’re a wanna-be tycoon of more-limited means — a “group setting” dinner will set you back a mere $1 million.
Not that this is influence peddling, of course.

“If the United States saw what the United States was doing to the United States it would invade the United States to save it from the tyranny of the United States.” — Jackie Singh
