State of the Union aftermath

State of the Union aftermath

“Feisty”. That word keeps coming up in describing Pres. Biden’s 2024 State of the Union address. Meanwhile, Donald Trump hosted authoritarian Viktor Orban of Hungary at Mar-A-Lago. And Republicans voted in Lara Trump as the Party’s co-chair.

If the humanitarian crisis in Gaza matters to you, there's another such calamity right off America's shores. Haiti is closer than ever to literally becoming a failed nation, with a deep health crisis made worse by uncontrolled gang warfare.

Plus this weekend is the 70th anniversary of Edward R. Murrow's famous commentary against Sen. Joseph McCarthy at the height of America's "red scare". It was a powerful moment for democracy, but it also teaches us something about how change actually comes about.
