There is nothing wrong in helping other people, if and when they are worthy of the help and you can afford to help them. I regard charity as a marginal issue. What I am fighting is the idea that charity is a moral duty and a primary virtue.”

"Make sure you remain straightforward, upright, reverent, serious, unadorned, an ally of justice, pious, kind, affectionate, and doing your duty with a will. Fight to be the person philosophy tried to make you."

The Common Good by Robert Reich
@rbreich

We owe society an unpayable debt, but we should still try our best to pay it back anyway. Reich makes the case that we can, and should, consciously work to improve our nation for the benefit of all, not just ourselves. The selfish must be named, shamed, and punished, the virtuous must be held up as heros, and you must help make it happen.

It’s Time for Dianne Feinstein to Resign

We should not hold a United States senator to a lower standard than that to which we hold all other Americans. We should expect that a senator would, at minimum, perform the basic duties of their job, like casting votes, rather than clench power at the public’s expense (after all, it’s not like they’re Supreme Court justices, who are apparently allowed to do whatever they want).

Amy Klobuchar Tiptoes Up To Calling On Dianne Feinstein To Resign

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) suggested on Thursday that Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) may need to step down if she is unable to return to Washington in the coming months, stopping shy of outright calling for her colleague’s resignation.

“You can’t leave the seat vacant for that long,” Klobuchar said when asked about her Senate Judiciary Committee colleague during an interview with CNN

The Dianne Feinstein situation turns ugly

And the situation has taken an ugly turn, leading to uncomfortable conversations about politics, age and even gender that could reverberate in the months and years to come

That’s because her illness-related absence from the Senate Judiciary Committee since mid-February (she was diagnosed with shingles) has hamstrung Dem's’ ability to confirm judges — an increasingly important political metric for administrations

@realtuckfrumper It's not just the committee affected by her absence. With a razor thin margin, any Democratic senator missing affects the likelihood of legislation being able to happen. over
