    And plenty of Democrats have done nothing to expand access to the vote. Just ask Andrew Cuomo.

    It's important to understand that this is not a Trumpist monstrosity: this is standard GOP policy. Voting Rights Advocates Used to Have an Ally in the Government. That’s Changing.

    The Nazis have left. There were thousands of us anti-Nazis. There were 30 of them...and now they’re scurrying away. I have to say it was a good day.

    Is this the 1st time allowed just entourage of a white supremacist & security to board a private train? Law enforcement only let journalists who were right by Kessler’s side get on a “special” metro train. Most reporters held back, along w public.

    DC, now you see who was telling the truth about the racist marchers being escorted onto Metro and who lied. Wiedefeld lied to riders and public when the truth was more convenient. The fallout of today will be on him.

    What Rachel said and goes double for labor

    reporters should be covering insurgent progressive and socialist candidates. But when they win, it’s oft framed as watershed turning points by voters on policy issues, and when they lose, it’s quickly dismissed, ignored, or explained away. It’s okay for things to be complicated?

    I dealt with highly esteemed journalists in the Obama era who would almost take personal offense at the suggestion that Paul Ryan was being mathematically dishonest. “He is a serious policymaker” was a common scolding, as if I had just revealed what a hack I really was.

    Ryan was actually *given an award* for fiscal policy seriousness based on a plan where *over 100% of the deficit reduction* was achieved through hand-waving.
