Insofar as USA can ever claim to have had a democratic republic, it existed from 1965 (Voting Rights Act) until 2013 (Holder v Shelby County). And that date is generous: Citizens United v FEC in 2010.

Cheney-Rumsfeld-Bush in Iraq

One $16k NEH grant at a research library can change the life of a scholar forever while adding to our shared knowledge of history and culture. These depositions will drive me mad

My neighbor wouldn’t buy from a farm stand bc the farmer’s hands were dirty. (I’d avoid a farm stand if his hands were clean.)

Stylish writing and sound critical judgment here.

The kind of feckless lack of principle that drove me from the Dem Party after 53 years. @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @chrismurphyct.bsky.social @blumenthal.senate.gov

A regime led by irrational exuberance.

Sic semper: What Thoreau said about voting— “All voting is a sort of gaming, like checkers or back gammon, with a slight moral tinge to it, a playing with right and wrong, with moral questions; and betting naturally accompanies it.”

Five books, five different publishers (six if you count the first publisher was bought out later).

Another word you might use for it is "looting".

"This appears to be the first administration to take such widespread advantage of taxpayer-funded military housing to accommodate political appointees who do not have a direct connection to the military..."

Video appears to show U.S. cruise missile striking Iranian school compound The seven-second video was released by Iranian state media and directly contradicts statements made by President Trump, who said Iran was responsible for the strike.

The Iranian girls’ school was hit by a US tomahawk cruise missile. NPR has confirmed the footage.

Men have cojones; women have cahoots.

Coached by a kangaroo, I’m guessing.

Luke is 100% correct. We're literally spending a huge daily amount on an illegal war. We spent how many tens of millions on planes for the entire regime. The vacations these people take would break the rest of us after just one. If someone wants to buy a bag of chips, let them.
