This one stings. It hurts. A great player who may have been the most misunderstood person I worked with at the A's. Want to know the real Rickey Henderson. read Howard Bryant's excellent bio howardbryantbooks.com/rickey

I have known, worked with and admired Si Lazarus since our shared days in the Carter WH. He is a brilliant policy analyst, but also one with a keen eye for politics—-which he demonstrates in this excellent piece in The New Republic.

Me, too! She was my choice from the beginning. Garland was probably a fine judge. But that does not mean he had—or has—the mentality to be a tough prosecutor. As we now have learned so tragically. Yates would have been splendid.

Not that my views mean squat, but I think history will judge AG Merrick Garland as a chicken shit failure. Jack Smith won’t say it, but he knows it. Biden should fire Garland right now to express his displeasure.

No, because then the Ethics report goes live.

I think the Gaetz nomination was a set up from the beginning. He wanted the appt so he had a reason to resign from Congress and kill the ethics report. Trump went along with it to help a supporter, knowing that the blowback would be deadly . The Bondi pick was all ready to go. She is more dangerous.

In my profile I described myself as “struggling to adjust” not to retirement but to the plummeting fortunes of our democracy. I am depressed and disgusted—and fearful.
