Morning friends, is anybody else fired up and ready to go?! Heading to the march that starts at Arlington National Cemetery and heads straight into DC! IT'S THE CORRUPTION, STUPID! Letโ€™s do this!

Does anyone else know about Bobby Ray Stacy's amazing articles about the state of America? I've just received a batch of 11 of them, all wonderfully written in incredible detail. Please answer me if you can.

Wow. We canโ€™t believe this ๐Ÿฅน. Barnes & Noble just put WTF America?! on their Most Anticipated Nonfiction list. We wrote this for this community, and you're the reason it's having this moment before it's even out. Thank you, truly. If you haven't preordered, the link's here ๐Ÿ‘‰ bit.ly/wtf-america-...

As bad as Ken Paxton is now on corruption, policy, hyper-partisanship, character, personal life, divisiveness, dishonesty, slavish loyalty to Trump - he will be 10 times worse as a US Senator.

Just found the best-ever and warmest tribute to the great George Orwell by his friend and Canadian (!) poet Paul Potts. It was printed way back in the London Magazine and easy to find online.

Trump White House misspells โ€œUnitedโ€ on the official โ€œsuper intelligenceโ€ document with AI executives. Instead of โ€œPresident of the United States,โ€ it reads: โ€œPresident of the Unites States.โ€ Nothing says โ€œsuper intelligenceโ€ quite like misspelling the name of the country.

Just watched Thomas Massie's brilliant, piss-taking speech against fellow Repub-lickbums on Youtube. Americans must find a way to get this decemt back in Congress as an independent.

So far Trump has tried to rig the midterms by: 1. Attempted to nationalize voter registration & voting requirements. 2. Mid-decade gerrymanders. 3. Tried to use the USPS to obstruct mail-in balloting. 4. Used taxpayer money for ads. 5. Intimidation of election officials.

I'd always semi-expected Mick Herron's Zoe Boehm novels to be a grade below the Slow Horses, but 51 pages of Down Cemetery Road have been an absolute joy. We all need an antidote to the Trump nightmare. Mine is Herron. Give it a go.
