An interview with Kaipat's family, from 2021, shortly after President Biden announced all US troops would be out of Afghanistan by September 11th, 2021.

The announcement was made on April 14th, just a few days after the anniversary of Kaipat's death.

Translation: 'Even if we can't actually do much about abortion, as long as we win in 2024 we'll still be able to cut taxes on the wealthy, so, you know what you need to do. Priorities, people.'

In 1946, George Orwell repaired to the remote Isle of Jura and wrote his masterpiece, ”1984.” What was he looking for? theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

Wow. When you've lost Richard Haass you've lost the US foreign policy establishment ...

I’m glad they included that Biden is running as the hero to save democracy.

Grateful to PBS NewsHour for substantive, honest discussions such as this one (the whole show was top-notch tonight; Gwen would be proud):

This is how leaders corrupt otganizations. To be a good Republican now, you need to fall in line behind this language. You need not use it yourself, but you can't oppose it, and you can't not support the candidate who uses it.

RIP the great Joe Flaherty. He was brilliant as the Dad on 'Freaks And Geeks' but the center of SCTV as Guy Caballero, Sammy Maudlin, 'Count Floyd' Robertson, and so many others (all hail Duard 'I will drive you home' Weese), not to mention his dead-on impersonations. A sad day.

This morning, David French was on Morning Joe to talk about Trump's Easter rhetoric and behavior.

Spoiler alert: he was no fan.

Goooooood night from Larry Campbell and me.

Add up all the time all the people who read Hal Lindsey’s “The Late Great Planet Earth” spent, it must come to thousands of years. And then realize that all that time was wasted. It would have been better spent doing literally nothing.

Sometimes I think that social media may be emboldening people to comment on issues on which they have little expertise

Somewhere, Trump supporters who didn't have to take a job filling bridge potholes in the middle of the night, and whose lives were just saved because Central American immigrants did the job instead, will spend the day decrying the 'invasion' on our southern border

Makes sense.

God grant me the serenity to close all the tabs I'm never going to read
The courage to read the open tabs that really ought to be read
And the wisdom to know the difference

Congratulations, Donald. Quite the accomplishment.

Ornstein is correct. However, the Israeli government is not just making its own country a pariah state. It's making Jews everywhere less safe by association. If the U.S. really wants to support and protect Jews, it will stop sending weapons to Israel.

'It's extraordinary, we have an out of power former president dictating foreign policy on behalf of a foreign dictator ...'

We are rightly focusing on the horrific terrorist attacks against innocent Russian civilians today. But please remember that Putin terrorizes Ukrainian civilians on a daily basis. We cannot become numb or indifferent to these terrorist attacks in Ukraine.
