My grandfather made this charming drawing and gave it to his daughter (my aunt) long ago (1950?) in Dayton, Ohio; he was a cranky but sensitive and witty guy :)

This is a new format for NYT opinion but I think I like it. Not sure if things will change if I do come back, but I can see they want to drive engagement

As a young idiot art student studying in Rome Mel Bochner hired me out of the blue to execute one of his pieces for installation in a museum in Torino, at the Lingotto. He was a generous and great man. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/a...

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

We will see what happens but the whole “GOP voters will learn their lesson the hard way thing” is cutting against a media environment, including the right wing one, that primes its viewers to blame someone or some thing else

very excited to see what happens when you make a deeply compromised addict the leader of the department of defense and subordinate to a madman

The idea that people had gone through years of hurdles and obstacles to qualify for a refugee program meant for the most dire cases and had flights booked—only to have their travel cancelled last minute and cases put on hold by new admin is obscene and makes me hot with shame

"I drew up some old blueprints for great Warsaw. [but suddenly] Warsaw is great.
