Yesterday, September 6th, Lawrence O’Donnell did a masterful rewrite (his term for editorial comment) on the famine in Somalia and our country’s moral duty to respond to it.

I really have nothing to add to his rewrite; it was a job well done. 
 
On August 17, Rachel Maddow pointed to another program that would be compromised by planned Republican budget cuts: the National Nuclear Security Administration.

Here is what a real deficit reduction plan looks like.
