Periodic reminder that Teapot Dome, the worst scandal in American history prior to Watergate, involved $9 million changing hands. That’s adjusted for inflation. This story by itself is 55500% bigger than Teapot Dome. That’s not a typo.

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

Supreme Court greenlights Alabama’s racial gerrymander, signaling free rein for states to discriminate
The new ruling, to which all six conservative justices signed on, suggests that, in practice, almost no federal protections remain for non-white voters, even in extreme cases.

It remains baffling to me that we have a clear constitutional requirement that the president can't enrich himself on the job, something we had no problem enforcing strictly for hundreds of years, and then this sweaty conman came by and the nation just sorta shrugged it off.

Americans should be alarmed by any attempt to turn public power into a partisan slush fund. If billions are being steered toward organizations whose purpose is helping one party win elections, that is not governance, it’s the corruption of democracy itself.

White conservatives regularly called out mobs in service of white power during the Jim Crow era. These groups, in tandem w fascist politicians & a captured judiciary, made it all-but-impossible for opponents to vote, organze, or even express dissent. The Wilmington Massacre is a classic example.

Time to make Section 4 of the 14th Amendment famous, which explicitly bars the U.S. government from paying out or owing anything to insurrectionists. The text instructs that “all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.”

Mike Johnson is a feckless toadie at the tip of the spear for demonstrating the great flaw in the Founders' constitutional design: They assumed that if one branch overstepped, the others would defend their institutional prerogatives and check that overreach.

164 years ago, on the 13th of May 1862, Robert Smalls escaped slavery by capturing the steamboat 'Planter' and steering it through Confederate lines. The US Navy commissioned it as the USS Planter and appointed Smalls as captain, making him the first black man to command a US ship.

The South is poor. Louisiana leads the nation with the worst poverty rate. Mississippi is second. Five of the ten poorest states are from the former Confederacy. The only Southern state that isn't in the top 20 in poverty rate is Virginia. The South is poor in large part due to racism 1/x

The idea of "overturning" or "repealing" the 14th Amendment was a pretty fringe proposition until recently, but it wasn't unheard of. Obviously the former Confederates wanted to do that. But it was also a white nationalist talking point in the Cold War era. This is 1988.
