Trump is already planning for the 20*30* Census. This time, not only does he want to stop counting noncitizens, he wants to stop counting race and ethnicity. Can't have an unconstituional racial gerrymander if you pretend not to know where Black people live. My latest in @thenation.com

The Trump Plan to Cook the Census Books
From adding a citizenship question to not tracking race and ethnicity, the administration wants to minimize Black and brown political power.

Babies were found with dead brain tissue similar to what follows cancer and the kind of bleeding seen after a stroke. Their autopsies all came to the same conclusion: Their deaths could have been prevented with the long-standard vitamin K shot. (Published May)

A lifesaving injection given at birth to prevent severe bleeding has become collateral damage of the anti-vaccine movement.

He has shown nothing but utter disdain & lack of respect for the troops, dead & alive, since 2016, & this has done absolutely nothing to change how the GOP is treated as the default party of national security. It's the military/foreign policy equivalent of "the GOP is the party of deficit hawks."

The suspense over Trump's speech Thursday night doesn't involve whether he will lie. Of course he will. The question is whether major media will be prepared with sharp headlines and detailed fact checks on the election of 2020. It's whether the New York Times' Euphemism Desk will be fully staffed.

Would exactly fit the same space. (By me)
