ā€œBut it’s no longer insane. It’s now real. There are those people out there,ā€ Linker added. ā€œThe question is: will they get their chance.ā€

ā€˜Red Caesarism’ is rightwing code – and some Republicans are listening

Why Consumers Are Mad About Inflation Even Though It Has Fallen

Prices are rising more slowly, but consumers fixate on how much lower they were before the pandemic, a problem for Biden

WSJ

What the media won’t show you this Sunday: President Biden sat down with John Harwood. They covered 17 different issues facing our democracy.

I don’t post many videos. Often, a good 8 hours or so of them pass me in just a single day from those I follow.

This is 20 minutes and vital to what we’re all facing. Nobody else running is confronting these issues. The Republicans running are, of course, making all of them worse.
