Short video at the tail end of yesterday’s hail storm in the Chicago area. Volume on to hear the thuds leaving dents on my car, and, more importantly, my 11 y.o. swearing.

"There’s been intense focus these past months on how the White House has exceeded its constitutional authority, and how Republicans have permitted a dangerous erosion of the rule of law.

There’s been less attention, however, on a more overarching question: Do we still want to live in a moral society, governed by good people?

“My Duty Is To Call It Out.”

A judge and a senator offer moral clarity in a time of monsters.
