Yesterday, I see I forgot to post at the regular time again.  I hope I didn’t scare anyone, or at least not too much.  I also got an email with a petition from the PAC “Patriotic Millionaires.” The petition is certainly an interesting idea, and I would suggest a good one. But you can make up your own mind on that. Also yesterday, Axios announced that there is a new PAC called “Ban the Trade” dedicated to passing legislation barring Congresscritters from trading on the stock market. And it appears they are going to hoist the traders with their own petard (bomb). Finally, Ann Telnaes has won the Pulitzer for cartooning. Take that, Jeff Bezos!

I no longer get the Daily Beast directly, but The Lever sent me this today, and I feel compelled to share it. Imagine holding a grudge since 1988. For that matter, imagine holding a grudge against a work of art, not just against the artist, but against all its viewers, including those who weren’t even born yet.

June 14 is, among other things, Flag Day. It’s also being called as No Kings Day and mass demonstrations are being organized. Here’s the link to find an event near you.
