Listening to the testimony of Cassidy Hutchinson makes it obvious that what happened in Washington on Jan 6 could have been much worse if Trump and his inner circle had had their way. The lawlessness on the part of Trump and his conspirators, mentioned by Cassidy, is beyond the pale and should trouble any patriot.

The testimony on January 6 coup attempt was riveting and revealing. And to think that THAT MAN had the nuclear code in his hands!

Trump is emerging out of these hearings politically damaged. To what extent is still undetermined. And while the Republican primary results were mixed, it is fair to say that his dominance of the Republican Party has waned some.

Dead and Company didn’t disappoint. Such a great concert. They blend different musical forms into compositions that are sublime and reach, on occasion, a sudden crescendo that lifts everyone to their feet. And they played for 4 hours. I drove home in a thunderstorm – 3 hrs – arriving at 3:30am and still charged by the performance. Happy 4th if you read this far!

In the wake of today’s announcement of the Supreme Court to repeal Roe v Wade, one obvious imperative – overarching I would say – is to march to the voting booth in November and bring a crowd with us.
