The American Prospect @prospect.org · 6h
When it comes to both shrewdness and ruthlessness, Trump doesn’t hold a candle to Der Führer. German democracy was systematically murdered. Ours is likely to survive, if barely, largely because Donald Trump is the destroyer of his own grand designs. buff.ly/WPIHOvD

For "Nebraska," Bruce wanted music that felt like "a waking dream" and a record that moved like "poetry." The 1982 acoustic LP is both, and it endures as one of his most seminal works — 44 years after its release.

A few hundred noncitizen votes are a national scandal. But when states reject hundreds of thousands of ballots from eligible voters, it’s business as usual
One state rejected ballots because some voters failed to include their mother’s maiden name on the back of the return envelope.
