I'm just an old guy, bald. I like running, reading, writing, college basketball. Current events tend to ...alarm me.

I won the race for governor by less than 30,000 votes. This move pushed by Republicans to remove 200,000 Wisconsinites from the voter rolls is just another attempt at overriding the will of the people and stifling the democratic process.

"Some of the highest percentages of voters whose registrations were on the line were in Milwaukee, Madison and areas with college campuses, where residents tend to vote Democratic..."

Historians’ statement on impeachment (continued):
“...It is our considered judgment that if President Trump’s misconduct does not rise to the level of impeachment, then virtually nothing does.”

That’s one lobbyist for every 14 political appointees, and four times more than Obama appointed in his first six years.

Got a call today from a young client who recently inherited enough to buy himself some nice things. Instead of doing so, he wanted to know how he could anonymously pay off all delinquent school lunch bills for families in our county. Wow. I became so emotional I couldn’t speak.❤️

Love it. https://t.co/sBQbPpZoOJ

“The emotionally intelligent person knows that they will only ever be mentally healthy in a few areas and at certain moments, but is committed to fathoming their inadequacies and warning others of them in good time, with apology and charm.” Well, this: https://t.co/ZG40XbCWjd

Impeachment is distracting Trump. But what if he distracts the media with a North Korea deal? If impeachment leads to peace, that wouldn't be the worst outcome. https://t.co/WiMtSachHw

Maybe ICE can consult with Xi Jinping for how his government handles the Uighurs... Or maybe they have, it's getting tough to tell the difference. #maga... https://t.co/Iqro8gWVnG

The problem is we have no moral authority left to call it out as something reprehensible because...we do it too.

At some point, before the February Iowa caucus maybe some journalist, somewhere, at some point can press Buttigieg on what he actually did at McKinsey & Co and how much he knew about their work with despots and not just let him weasel out of the question by quoting Graham Greene.
