Wow. To ignore Section 1 of the 14th Amendment might remind us of the utterly forgotten Section 2, which introduced the word "male" into the Constitution. Its purpose? Minority representation. nytimes.com/article/trump-…

An excellent, well-written tribute to the next-to-last surviving Freedom Rider from 1961. washingtonpost.com/obituaries/202…

Was it striking and sad that cable news channels generally ignored this true geopolitical shock last night to stick with their pre-scripted "breaking news"? nytimes.com/live/2025/02/0…

Saint Paul on the United States: "America is patient and kind. It is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It is not puffed up. It dwells not on evil but rejoices in the truth." apnews.com/article/trump-…

This is a smarter way to fight Trump's agenda than letting him shut down the U.S. government all at once, leaving Elon to decide what's essential from the ground up. I think Sen. Schumer may be right, however much critics want to sound virile. washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/…

Schumer is not an eloquent voice for Democrats, but he was right not to shut down the government. It would give Trump extended, explicit authority to determine what's "essential." Dems would have even less leverage. Red hots are not always wise. washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/…

Flagellation is catnip for our media. Parties don't jettison incumbent presidents easily (LBJ '68). Democrats functioned well through an upbeat transition. They lost a close election on immigration, inflation, and cultivated cynicism. Jake Tapper 🦅 CNN washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/…
