The Next Shoe Dropping

One major question this morning is how soon Donald Trump is going to be indicted for the third time this year. Special Counsel Jack Smith of the Justice Department has informed Trump he is a target of the election interference probe by a Washington, D.C. grand jury, so it probably is only now a matter of says.

Perhaps even later today.

A fourth indictment of the former President, in Georgia, is likely before the end of summer.

By now it is a cliche to say nothing like this has ever before in our country’s history, but this is one cliche that is true.

I have been hearing from readers that the main news stories this summer are almost too overwhelming to bear. The war in Ukraine. The wildfire smoke. The floods and the extreme heat. The possibility that AI could end life on the planet.

All I can offer is to take pleasure in the little things and special moments that still occur even in the midst of all of the chaos. Notice a flower. Say hi to a stranger. Be kind to a friend in need.

Most of all, connect with others in whatever way you can. None of us are in this alone.
