- Usually, when the word ‘just’ is used it is often seen as a reductive descriptor of one’s character, in this case, the word just made Kobe Bryant closer to us. On August 23, 1978, I sat next to my middle son’s bassinet and stared down at my then...1 comments 0 Recs
- So I wrote this, and it was printed yesterday in the Philadelphia Inquirer. Based on fair use, I can give you the opening here: On Nov. 3, Pennsylvania voters will cast votes for president. About five weeks later, on Dec. 14, 20 Pennsylvanians...0 comments 0 Recs

- The Republicans in the House, as well as the White House Lawyers have repeatedly stated that Ukraine received lethal aid under Trump, but not under Obama. While this is true on its face, they left out an important detail. While Ukraine has received the...3 comments 4 Recs

- The White House lawyers, as well as republicans like to state the idiotic phrase that Donald Trump was denied constitutional privileges afforded ordinary citizens. Nothing can be further from the truth. I refer you to the Constitution as well as an...5 comments 2 Recs
- If it’s true that governments are constituted to serve the governed, then it follows that governments have no rights, only powers delegated to them by people, who alone have rights. The notion that governments have rights goes back to the conservative...12 comments 0 Recs
- Received this e-mail today from the Pennsylvania Democratic Party: Last week, Speaker Mike Turzai unexpectedly announced he won't run for re-election. Please give me a moment to share why that's ...4 comments 5 Recs
- While listening to the Maddow/Parnas interview, I was struck by his reference to the cult like petri dish that is the Trump Hotel in D.C.. The interview ended and I was inspired to poetic protest and prayer. Thanks to The Eagles for the framework. To...2 comments 14 Recs

- Republican Sen. Martha McSally will never be mistaken for a person of integrity. She is, however, the sort of Trumpian person who likes to invent insults and fundraise off them by selling overpriced T-shirts emblazoned with them. McSally responded to a...18 comments 26 Recs
