Yesterday, a new generation of civil rights activists marched from Selma to Montgomery to fight for voting rights. As states across the country try to make it harder for citizens to be heard, we need to learn the lessons of those who came before us and refuse to take our democracy for granted.

So paying poor people to have healthcare and poor children to have food at school is fraud and abuse, but paying Donald Trump to paint a perfectly fine reflecting pool for $13 million and build a tacky $1 billion ballroom isn't fraud and abuse? What messed-up priorities this country has!

Claiming that America’s top national security priority is building the president a special ballroom to host parties would be ridiculous in normal times. It is decadent farce in the midst of a geopolitically significant war, one the president started and is losing. Yet said with a straight face.
