I've never understood why we don't have a Presidential Records Act equivalent for the Supreme Court. The justices aren't so special. And their insistence on secrecy encourages people like Trump to resist transparency laws like the PRA.

I find this whole thing bizarre because substantively almost none of these candidates are actually socialists in the usual historical understanding of that term. Everyone just agree to say “social democrat” and stop fighting over the scary word.

The massive nationwide electricity rate hikes aren’t happening simply because utility services have gotten more expensive or customers have been receiving better service. It’s because utility monopolies have bought off the system that’s supposed to keep them in check. Watch.

Part 1 of a 3-part strategy. First, delegitimize real polls (that show Trump and his party struggling). Second, promote fake polls (that show the opposite). Third, deny election results they don’t like using fake polls as the “evidence” of election malfeasance. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

A very grumpy man in a sweater is attempting to spend the afternoon indulging his bad mood while listening to music on his portable CD player. Unfortunately, his plans are ruined because the beat of the song is so good that it begins to improve his nasty attitude. The caption reads "Trying to brood but the beat is improving my mood." Artist's Note: I was thinking of the song Fantasy by Mariah Carey. Great beat.

Aside from the obvious, what I hate most about this is that he's politicized the military for at least a generation. The next Democratic administration will be *forced* to politicize promotions and firings as part of a fundamental, necessary course correction. We will need to purge MAGA and rebuild.
