Thank you, #BruceSpringsteen, for not only saying what you said in Manchester a few days ago -- but especially for releasing those words as an intro track on your new EP.

Key excerpt from @pkrugman.bsky.social’s Friday column: “If we were still a serious country, Trump’s crypto corruption would lead to his immediate impeachment and removal from office.”

The Fascist Kleptocrat and his enablers imagine the new pope to be a marxist. Well. They don’t know what a Christian is, either.

I describe the current U.S. situation as “dictatorship-in-progress.” In some ways we’re there: —People kidnapped and jailed w/o hearing. —Congress useless —Courts often ignored In some ways we’re not: —Some pro-liberty judges —no troops breaking up protests yet. In sum, we should be very alarmed.
