In IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE, Sen. Windrip offers every American $5,000 if he's elected president. He's elected; Americans get a dictator but no paychecks. Cheeto Benito is literally taking cues from the 90-year-old novel that predicted him.

The argument that Donald Trump invaded Canada today is much more compelling than many realize. The border between Canada and the United States runs through the middle of Lake Ontario. By claiming to have the power to rename the entire lake, Trump is claiming the lake. That's invasion by declaration.

"It is difficult to avoid the conclusion that the HHS secretary sees deaths from outbreaks of diseases we had beaten or contained, like measles and cyclosporiasis, as a form of social hygiene that kills off the weak and susceptible."

The HHS secretary uses fear of contamination to denigrate modern medicine and advance a project rooted in vulgar eugenics.

Terry Gross: Did you ever go to one of the midnight screenings [of Rocky Horror] back in the '70s and watch the movie with the people who were reciting along?

Tim Curry: [The first time] I had to call the theater because you could never get in. I said, 'I'm in it, and I'd really love to come and see it and get an eyeful.' And the operator said, 'You're the third Tim Curry to call this week.'

Do you want to know how popular school vouchers are? They have never won on a ballot. Not once. In any state. Ever. The only way states are able pass a school voucher scheme is behind closed doors. Legislatively. The people would never approve their tax dollars going to private religious schools.
