Singer-songwriter @kimrichey is the queen of understated finesse. On her latest album, Every New Beginning, she carefully tempers the ache of loss with moments of humor and even optimism.

The Court that gave us Citizens United did enormous damage to our democracy.
In 2022, just 100 big donors outspent all small donors by 60 percent. This is not a good sign for democracy. bit.ly/4a81HCJ

In my view, the key CPAC story isn’t that right-wing influencer Jack Posebiec said, “Welcome to the end of democracy. We are here to overthrow it completely.”
The story is how many Republican lawmakers are absolutely silent about it.
May I suggest the media ask every Congressional member who speaks at CPAC, and every Republican presidential candidate for that matter, the following three questions:
1) Do you reject Jack Posebiec’s comments?
2) Do you support democracy?
3) Do you respect the separation of church and state?
And don't stop asking until you get answers.
I believe journalists have a duty to uncover just how deep the threat to American democracy runs.
It’s the answers that should frighten us. Never the questions.

Never forget: Many of the Trump people complaining about courts getting involved in elections tried to get the Supreme Court to toss ALL the 2020 votes in GA, PA, MI and WI, citing non-existent proof of fraud such as "80,000 forged signatures on Georgia absentee ballots."

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott once again claims there is no gun-policy solution to mass shooters using AR-15s and instead emphasizes that mental illness is the "root cause" of these massacres — despite extensive case evidence showing that is false latimes.com/opinion/story/20… #AllenTexas

The story isn't that Donald Trump is the first president to be indicted for crimes.
The story is that a criminal was ever able to become president in the first place and that that criminal was aided by a national party in creating a fascistic cult that threatens all of us.

"What you're telling me is, you don't mind infringing free speech to protect children from this amorphous thing you think of, but when it comes to children that have died, you don't give a flying f*ck."
