This this this this. I have been saying for decades that wholesale campaign finance reform is ESSENTIAL, usually to glazed eyes in return. Our current situation owes a lot to our current campaign finance laws and workarounds.

We are a broken nation. Hundreds of thousands of Haitians were living and working legally, paying taxes, and contributing. Haiti remains wholly unsafe. But Trump hates Haitians, and the White House wanted videos of Black people in chains, so they stripped them of status and turned on the cameras.

USPS’s job is to deliver the mail even if some mailed ballots genuinely are fake, illegal, fraudulent, or otherwise invalid. It’s on election administrators to catch and reject those, and they do. USPS has no role in it and the very idea mucks up the systems we actually have for election integrity.

When your government says it’s planning to open multiple prisons that will house up to 3,000 children, it’s time to demand a new government. There is no context in which this is legitimate or acceptable.

I think there’s a tendency to frame this as a “Trump’s silly obsessions” sideshow story, but it’s a pretty grotesque corruption story. The administration squandered millions on a no-bid contract to an inexperienced company that botched the job, then indicted innocent people to cover their error.

A self-respecting Congress would impeach him over this immediately. Doing an end-run around the Senate's Constitutional "advise and consent" authority to illegally take money from taxpayers, and give it to himself and criminals he likes. Alone, one of the most impeachable offenses in US history.
