    Reinforces one of the biggest stories hardly mentioned: the utter failure of the Republican Congress to do even a scintilla of oversight or provide a check and balance on executive corruption

    GOP quiet on concerns Ross may have mislead two House panels; Ryan’s office referred to Gowdy’s office, which referred to approps, and spox for chairman of approps subcommittee, vulnerable Republican John Culberson, didn’t respond

    There is honestly a lot of serious stuff in here ... the “black conservative” intellectual tradition, gender vs racial mobilization in the Trump backlash, hotep, Obama and respectability politics, and ’s greatest journalist legacy.

    One of the nefarious things about corporate giving through political action committees is how it hides the trail of money. For example, Google gives to something called 'Eye of the Tiger PAC'. Eye of the Tiger PAC donates to Steve King, the openly white supremacist congressman.

    To me the polling looks closer to a replay of the 2012 election than of 2016.

    I don't think there's a ton of evidence to support this yet, but I am starting to wonder whether we're going to be really struck by the extent that the electorate became more polarized along the lines of the 2016 presidential election during the Kavanaugh nomination fight

    He’s literally on money

    Trump on Ulysses S. Grant: "He had a serious problem. A serious drinking problem. But man was he a good general. And he's finally being recognized as a great general."

    Shitlibs at it again with their pathetic efforts to court mythical moderate Republicans rather than mobilizing the left by actually standing for something.

    Dwight D. Eisenhower was not a radical socialist, he was a Republican. And he tried to warn us about the "military industrial complex."

    It doesn’t get more Maine than Machias.

    Moody says this is a "smear" from "out-of-state" Ok, they can push back I'd only note: Jill Hayward is from Machias, MAINE; she went to the Univ of MAINE; she lives in the Portland, MAINE area; and works in MAINE's public schools.

    I’ve read a few things about it, but would be in the market for an in-depth account of why Nordhaus and the IPCC differ on 1.5 vs 3 degrees of warming.

    I wish that Republicans consistently abhorred character assassins and championed due process and the presumption of innocence. But it just isn’t so.
