"Who goes Nazi?" -- everyone should read this classic from the great Dorothy Thompson.

Medbeds are just a way for conservatives to fantasize about universal healthcare without being called "socialist."

It's a permission structure, an outlet for that unspeakable desire to see a world where the reaction to a person being sick is the very obvious thing: help them, help them get better, do it now.

Just for the record, Trump can’t do this. The Constitution is very clear that the “times, places, and manner“ of elections for federal office are determined by individual states (though can be altered by Congress).

The president simply has no role in US elections (except to sign into law or veto whatever election-related bills that congress might pass).

I have never posted anything political on this site because of my "why bother" motto that has saved me so many hours of fruitless debate. However, I do want to spread the word about postcards to voters. In addition to canvassing and contributing financially, this is one effective way to support democracy. We have postcarding parties every other week -- we will break 500 mailed next week. Please boost!

Well.

@StephanieJones is on a roll. Instead of reposting each of her substack pieces, I'll just send you here:

I've mentioned Stephanie a few times. I've tried to get her to be more active here, but she really doesn't do much on social media.

Adding: She is very accomplished. There is no room here for her resume. Among other things she served on the Congressional committee investigating the J6 attack.

If you're entirely focused on Biden's debate performance, you're missing the real story.

Yesterday's SCOTUS decision *fundamentally* changed the nature of the presidency -- and the nation.
