The beginning
25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.

Today in History, 1941: Hitler issues his “Night and Fog” (Nacht und Nebel) decree, ordering that members of the resistance working to undermine the Nazi military be arrested and brought for trial by special courts, circumventing conventions governing the treatment of prisoners. /1

Love my senator. (Wisconsin only has one worth talking about.)
Thanks to leaders like Senator @baldwin.senate.gov, Medicaid can now negotiate Medicaid costs for medicines. This year 15 drugs had their costs reduced, saving our senior citizens and Wisconsinites with disabilities to access to life saving medication. https://reut.rs/4rDEQIV

A thread worth your time.
On Aug 24, 1869, Ohio Rep. John Bingham, principal framer of the 14th amendment, gave a remarkable speech on “Equal Rights-Impartial Suffrage,” in which he said of those who sought to reject the principal of birthright citizenship, “no greater political atrocity than this can possibly be committed.”

This chapter is delightfully funny and snarky. The personalities of the village message board posters are a treat. Give it a read!
I've removed the paywall permanently from this piece, which is a chapter from my novel Villager, told entirely in the form of an online village message board. If you like it, you'll probably like the book. If you don't, you won't...

The Village Message Board
Its authenticity was discredited because of his reputation, but also because he was quick with gin at the time and wearing an item of knitwear back to front.

Megyn Kelly on alleged war crimes: "I really do kind of not only wanna see them killed in the water, whether they're on the boat or in the water, but I'd really like to see them suffer. I would like Trump and Hegseth to make it last a long time so they lose a limb and bleed out."

“Reasons are for reasonable people.” Boy howdy, I wish I’d had this response in my pocket back in the days when I frequented academe!
Dear grad students,
Reminder: it’s also totally fine to ignore your [uncle] who thinks your research is a waste of time and resources. You don’t owe people an explanation! They don’t have to get it!
Or, as someone told me as a life-changing piece of advice: reasons are for reasonable people.

Every year around Thanksgiving, I see tons of grad students post heartbreaking messages on social media about how their loved ones don’t understand or support their decision to study what seems like something pointless or silly.
Perhaps my American Scientist essay can help!

People need food. Market won’t provide it. The government can. The government should.
People needing food does not necessarily imply government run grocery stores. Just as it does not imply government owned bakeries or millers or wheat fields.
Direct cash transfers are strong as a policy but not politically palatable.

A true side note: Prince cared deeply about food insecurity, and would routinely make substantial donations to local food banks and community kitchens in every town that he would play in during his later tours. Sometimes they would ask for supplies & his team would show up with huge amounts of food.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.
