Overdue Book
Nina Schmidt’s piece on Norm Solomon’s book, The Blue Road to Trump Hell, underscores a lesson in being 10 or 15 years too late, with due respect for a terrific book. A really, really better world will begin with removal of the incumbents of both parties; new limits on how long elected officials can serve, including an age limit; and new rules about how leaders are elected in both houses of Congress, with meritocracy replacing seniority.
The Trump disaster is going to take decades to reverse. Congress can either be an impediment or an agent for progress in the long road back to respectability, accountability and credibility. Right now, it is a major roadblock. And so is the electorate.

Regarding the film article, “See/Say: Communication via Cinema,” Dec. 10, 2025—elegant, eloquent reasoning, and deeply compassionate into the bargain. A powerful reminder and also a gentle suggestion. Thank you for this, Joe Mulcaire. Please write more.
