The new Obama Center is 225 feet tall, which is much taller than most buildings in Jackson Park. Some people say the gray building looks like a prison, but the project includes a new 88-foot video screen to inspire visitors.

"In a must-watch segment, late-night host John Oliver detailed how building presidential libraries, which are intended to promote access to historical records, have provided loopholes for massive, often undisclosed donations to sitting presidents — with virtually no oversight.
To make matters worse, public access to records stored at presidential libraries is at an all-time low.
These twin problems make it too difficult to know what current administrations are doing, and what past administrations have done.
Luckily, Sen. Elizabeth Warren has introduced the Presidential Library Anti-Corruption Act to close the library loophole. It’s a good bill, but Congress doesn’t need to stop there.
It can also increase funding for the National Archives and Records Administration, which is responsible for overseeing the presidential library system. But because NARA’s budget has remained stagnant for 30 years, it can now take more than a decade for presidential libraries to respond to a single declassification request."

What the fuck is wrong with #Democratics?
Former President Joe Biden is running into a problem in his nascent effort to raise money for a presidential library: Donors are checked out.“I want an $800,000 refund,” said John Morgan, a Florida-based personal injury lawyer.
Any other presidential library: Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable.
Donald J. Trump Presidential Library: Bribes Receivable, Favors Doable.
