As a historian watching folks try so hard, in so many ways, to discredit a first person account of their experience is almost painful. We take first person accounts quite seriously, they are, quite literally, a gift.

Joanne FreemanDestroying the House ethics office.
Nothing like announcing that you’re against congressional ethics to reveal who you are.
Expect more corruption in their ranks.
One might even say that they’re trying to create a swamp…

Brian GettlerMunicipal governance in #Toronto - @cadenceweapon is right:

But he don’t care about the public
Whenever we ask for what we need
They say there’s no room in the budget
