This is some of the best political news I've seen in a very long time. There's a clear a way to end the Citizens United precedent by changing state incorporation laws - and now luminaries in both parties are forcing a vote on it in the 2026 election.

Today, USAID shuts down. Experts say this could lead to 14 million deaths by 2030—including 4.5 million babies and children under 5. Let’s not forget, Trump recently let a warehouse full of food aid rot rather than feed the hungry. This isn’t America first. It’s America heartless.

If a bill is so bad that you have to exempt entire states from its consequences to win the votes you need—just don't pass the bill! Why do people in Washington state deserve Medicaid & SNAP cuts, but others don't? This is plain wrong, and it's just no way to legislate.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

So, in the last three months, the owner of the Washington Post and/or the people running the paper for him have blocked: 1) An Editorial Board endorsement. 2) A political cartoon. Are we really supposed to believe they won’t interfere in the reporting of the news itself?
