Thanks, Bidenomics! --
As the unemployment rate reaches 3.5%, let's not forget that this is a level so low that the United States did not reach it at any point throughout the 1970s, 1980s, or 1990s. https://t.co/9yDviFemLQ

Too little, too late --
New in Public Notice: Mike Pence finally spoke out forcefully against Trump this week. But it’s far too little too late.

Pence shows how Trump destroys everything he touches https://t.co/utDCYwBt9h
Now that we know how incriminating and essential Pence’s testimony is, it only makes it more infuriating that he fought his grand jury subpoena on grounds equally frivolous and ridiculous as the legal fictions conjured up by John Eastman that he rejected on J6.

Can we stop playing this game, media? --
I read another column, the 10,000th, treating Trump voters as a precious, delicate species whose road to denialism must be rooted in injuries and whose seething bigotries are all reframed as class resentments. We've been playing this game for nine years now. Enough.
