Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."

Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against the use of force after 9/11. She has spent her career fighting against poverty and for institutional reform. I’m happy for Oakland.
