That was Jeff Sessions on the podium today.

And needless to say, he was lying his head off.

She’s even worse than I realized.

Jim Lowe traces her meretricious, opportunistic wooing of the neocons who brought us Iraq and now are working on the Iran sequel.

Handpicked by the Libertarian Fascist Kochs,  the Secretary of the Environmental Protection Agency smirks that smirk as he presides over a gut renovation of the EPA, turning it into the best friend America’s polluters ever had.

Pruitt’s flack dares to mock Michael Biesecker, the AP reporter who exposed its dereliction of duty in Houston. Ad hominen offense is the only defense that Pruitt and his accomplices have to offer.

Our country is burning and flooding at an unprecedented rate, and Pruitt is committing crimes against the U.S. and against humanity.

When are the Democrats going to start calling him out?

ballyhoos the military strikes that Trump will take to distract from RussiaGate.

She may have no knowledge of what she’s talking about, but she knows a TrumpCard when she sees one.

And the “mainstream” media will cheer him on.

Why is Basquiat’s bisexuality so constantly ignored or suppressed?

The Guardian interviewed a number of friends on the eve of a big retrospective in London and only ex-lover Suzanne Mallouk mentions it.

Jean’s bisexuality wasn’t peripheral to who he was; it was central.

No mention here about City-as-School, where I met him, which was, and probably still is, a wonderful, nurturing unique alternative-education environment.

Silicon Valley’s sachems  are megalomaniacal, uncultured, democracy-adverse, and obsessed with not paying their taxes and getting as much government subsidy as possible.

In The Guardian, Evgeny Morozov asks, “Dou really want to surrender your privacy so that Mark Zuckerberg can run a foundation to rid the world of the problems that his company helps to perpetuate?”

Not a scruple in his body, not one drop of integrity or honesty.

He lies, cheats, dupes a path toward the destruction of as many American lives as possible–and tells Americans to pay him for it.

In Politico, Michael Grunwald profiles the Budget Director.

The two are now launching a monumental distraction campaign that will attempt to pivot public attention away from Trump’s obstruction of justice to Comey’s allegedly premature exoneration of Hillary.

Lest you forget, GOP operatives in the guise of people’s representatives, Comey sank Hilary’s presidential bid with his October Surprise.

And if Senator McCaskill thinks it’s in her interests to play along, primary her.

Government’s dysfunctional here in the U.S., he says, so he and all the other moguls have to step up [take over].

Our government might be less dysfunctional, Mr.Cook, if you committed less tax evasion and our economy might be in better shape if you stopped shipping Apple jobs overseas.

Andrew Ross Sorkin writes a, let’s say, highly complimentary piece for the Times’s business section that also does indicate some small degree of Cook’s monumental hypocricy.

Most alarming thing in the piece: the idea that Zuckerberg could run for President.

What in the world does Zuckerberg know about being President?

Has Trump taught us nothing?
