House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s attempted partisan sabotage of the coronavirus relief bill might mark a new low for her. That the bill finally passed doesn’t excuse her reckless gamesmanship.

The foreign ministers of the G-7 countries had their delicate sensibilities offended by the language during a video conference call — and guess who is to blame.

But they at least remind me that we have free men among us. When a bad thing happens to a good person, we are tempted to rage at God. When innumerable
From NBC News comes one of the most irresponsible pieces of “journalism” I’ve seen in a long while. It revolves around an interview with a 61-year-old woman from Arizona who is currently in the ICU, and who, tragically, just saw her husband die in front of her.

Over the past
Something new and timely from three economists who work for the Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and MIT, respectively. It’s possible that 1918 and 2020 are too apples-and-oranges for a study of the former to usefully guide the reality of the latter. 1918 was a wartime economy. Certain
Social media is doing a terrific job of explaining a universal truth about the coronavirus. Anyone who is less worried than you are about they or their loved ones catching the coronavirus is naive, reckless, uninformed, oblivious, and/or only cares about the economy, money, and profit, and not human lives.

Worst Episode of Family Feud Ever After three days of descending into dysfunctionally divisive hell at a time when Americans most needed some unifying behavior — as well as some money — the United States Senate finally put on its Big Politician Pants, lit a unity candle, and had the most kumbaya of all kumbaya

Rapper and actor O’Shea Jackson, commonly known as Ice Cube, supported President Donald Trump’s impeachment and removal from office. Ice Cube recently said he “can’t wait to see” Trump in handcuffs.

Joe Biden has largely been missing in action during the mitigation phase of the coronavirus pandemic. While I don’t think that most Americans are sitting around pondering where good old Joe is, his absence from the national conversation has been noticed. That is why his presidential campaign has made a calculated decision – get Joe

A man crosses a nearly empty Fifth Avenue in midtown Manhattan during the outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus disease, March 25, 2020. (Mike Segar/Reuters) What is before Congress is not a stimulus bill. We have often opposed stimulus bills in the past, considering it a mistake for the federal government to borrow money to expand
OUR TOP STORY TONIGHT… Just as I began writing this, Twitter lit up with the announcement that the Senate had finally reached a deal on the coronavirus stimulus package that the Democrats have been stonewalling since the weekend. There aren’t a lot of details as I write this (I’m sure there will be many more
The city is already locked down, with residents asked to remain at home as much as possible per one of Andrew Cuomo’s orders a week ago. What Tom Bossert has in mind is a lock-in. No one in or out, except suppliers. Wall the city off until the spread of infection there is under control,

Sather Tower rises above the University of California at Berkeley.

This made me laugh just because of how “on brand” it is. None of the MAGA diehards who’ve embraced the idea of getting back to work ASAP are recommending that *older people* lead the way.
