John Oliver sounded the alarm this week on how secret donations to presidential libraries provide cover for bribery. We couldn’t agree more.

It’s time to close the library loophole — and you can help.

Read this story and much more in our secrecy newsletter, The Classifieds.

It’s actually incredible that as a society we never managed to find the political will to force elected officials to tell the truth on TV.

If this nightmare ends, the new era must be a new Reconstruction of American Democracy. What do you think such an era needs?

I think a constitutional reconvention makes sense, but I do get the sense reforms have to be deeper than just governance, the information ecosystem is so rotted.

We are witnessing in this government shutdown the rendering of the US Congress ineffective basically by the GOP’s hand for this.

“unitary executive theory,” the notion that the president personally controls the executive branch and can act free from checks and balances.

I don’t give TWO SHITS if you think it’s perfectly fine to have a Qatari air base in Idaho!! I DO NOT TRUST A SINGLE THING FROM THIS REGIME.

Trump has rolled out yet another baseless conspiracy theory in his relentless campaign to lie and spread misinformation to the public. His latest claim, that the FBI orchestrated the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol and that Biden ordered it, collapses under even the most basic scrutiny.

Border Patrol “attempted to arrest a plumber working inside a Logan Heights home but left empty-handed after the homeowner refused them entry.

The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”

Federal immigration operations target San Diego neighborhoods, sparking community resistance

Federal immigration agents conducted operations in Logan Heights and Southeast San Diego on Friday, with community members capturing footage of the enforcement actions.

You're lamer than the box of rocks she came in. George Floyd did not deserve to die and surely didn't deserve to have some cop smother him for all that time. He was murdered and MAGAts want to cover it up. That is not something the Atlantic would condone covering up either

🚨🚨🚨The intensity here is indescribable. The reference post (to follow) indicates the gravity being similar to that of “Bloody Sunday.” A harrowing parallel. 1/2
