I am passionate about democracy, equality, public education and the ethics of people in elected office. I am inspired by Ukraine and all who fight authoritarianism. I enjoy travel, history, new tech, old cars, music & golf. Yes, I have dry sense of humor.

Memphis record producer Sam Phillips records an unrehearsed performance of “That’s All Right” by a young truck driver named Elvis Presley on this day in 1954.

It changed music forever.

"I never met her."
"I hardly know him."
Now Trump denies his ties to the extremist Heritage Foundation and their draconian plan to destroy our government and create a Christian Nation with Project 2025.

Overturning Roe and Chevron are two incredibly destructive, dangerous decisions by our Republican dominated SCOTUS.

BT (Before Trump) this scandalous video would have ended a politician's career.

So confident of their righteousness, Team Trump published their post-election game plan to destroy the U.S. government.
It turns out that Main Street voters don't like it. And it even scares people.
What will Trump do?
What he always does, of course - lie, lie, lie.

Okay, Biden is old.
But Trump is old and deeply, inescapably corrupt and evil. And we don't know half of it!

Here's more evidence of Trump crimes, that are unlikely to ever be prosecuted.

Trump's dishonesty, his denial is comically predictable.

"Many people involved in the effort are former Trump administration officials, and Trump publicly allied himself with the think tank as president."

(more) “In the Germany of the 1930s, business leaders were not necessarily enthusiastic about Hitler as a person. But they associated democracy with labor unions and wanted to break them. Seeing Hitler as an instrument of their own profit, business leaders enabled the Nazi regime.”

Trump’s election deniers have infiltrated many election state boards, and each state has its own laws & judges. Plus the Trump controlled RNC will do anything to disrupt Democratic plans, no matter how outrageous. So yes, Democratic election lawyers are making a tough call x50.

They pretend that *your* slice of the pie will remain a constant percentage, while in reality, the billionaire class is reducing the middle class percent of the pie every year.

The U.S. Chamber is a hard-right Trumpy operation. Nothing they say should be trusted. Ever.
