Surviving Trump is a lot like quitting smoking, you have to keep trying and failing until you finally succeed.

Opinion (On the endless loop of “To impeach or not to impeach”

Impeaching Trump Is Risky. So Is Refusing To.
Nancy Pelosi’s case against impeachment is growing incoherent.

@Anonymous: @CatChew – I was surprised and a bit dismayed Al’s podcast didn’t get wider mention. Leave it to internet sleuth JP to keep us up to date.
I just found John Nichol’s new podcast, NextLeft from The Nation and put it in my regular rotation as I have Preet Bharara’s “Stay Tuned“. Preet’s podcast was so good I subscribed to his pay-for podcast Cafe Insider where he really deep dives with Anne Milgram and who is addictive in her own right.
@Jmach1P: Thanks much! I otherwise missed this.
@chris: I really enjoyed this, btw.

@Jmach1P: Thanks for the first good news I’ve heard in a long while! I’ ve been hoping he’d start podcasting, his voice is needed more than ever. The times are ripe for him to inject his reasoned voice into the body politic. Al has always been a center leaning liberal and that is exactly what these times call for. I hope he has many of the same guests he used to have on AAR. Wonder if he’ll have his former sidekick on with him, Katherine Lanpher.
Gonna be feeling nostalgic all day.
Thanks JP!
