Something about the Alps in spring

[Jay Rosen @jayrosen_nyu]

Editors at @ThePlaindealer refused to abide by the ridiculous rules imposed on journalists trying to cover a rally for J.D. Vance featuring Ron DeSantis. https://t.co/lOapbD3Iz8 So they didn't write about or photograph it. But they did publish this graphic: white space with an X.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

Pharma buys off Congress. No action on drug prices.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

[James Martin, SJ @JamesMartinSJ]

The $44 billion for @Twitter could have easily been used to provide food and clean water for the poor, housing for the homeless, shelter for refugees, medical care for the sick, and funds to eradicate serious illnesses. Mr. Musk would have been a hero, not just another capitalist

[Maggie Haberman @maggieNYT]

A former president sent a letter to a secretary of state asking him to decertify the election, a slow escalation from the reinstatement talk of a few months ago, and everyone wants to avert their gaze. Maybe someone will get a sponge.

What the hell is this new “sexual addiction issues” the media is actually parroting as a stated excuse to kill women? Stop.

[Governor Larry Hogan @GovLarryHogan]

Our family greatly appreciates the president's comments condemning the awful rise in hate crimes against Asian Americans. It truly is "un-American and it must stop."

@ABCPolitics Why am I not surprised?

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

America's 660 billionaires could give everybody in the country a $3,900 survival check and still be as rich as they were before the pandemic.

If that doesn’t convince you we need a wealth tax, I don’t know what will.

@BillKristol If you can't win a majority without selling your soul, then you shouldn't win a majority. Easy.

The infrastructure failures in Texas are quite literally what happens when you *don’t* pursue a Green New Deal.
