Power attracts pathological personalities. Written 40 years ago: "All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts pathological personalities...Such people have a tendency to become drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted." — Frank Herbert, Chapterhouse: Dune

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

In case you want to know why the Republicans are trying to repeal ranked choice voting, it prevents Gerrymandering. GOP had gerrymandered the state of Alaska. They've tried to repeal it. Twice now, and lost both times.

Trump’s goal is to intimidate me and get me to back down. That’s not going to happen. I will not be silenced, and I will not stop fighting for my constituents.

OBAMA: "Trump is focused on enriching himself & his family/friends. A Venezuelan billionaire wanted a pardon, so he paid a Trump lawyers $50 million — and lo & behold! The pardon falls out of the sky... We’ve never seen a president straight-up grifting on your dime like this."

Ohio’s biggest newspaper broke its own rules to endorse Amy Acton, calling Ramaswamy’s vile attack ad disqualifying. “Using childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it crosses a line Ohioans should defend, whatever their party.” thedailybeast.com/trumps-maga-...

I honestly can’t get over this. It feels unprecedented. Brazil is of course getting most of the love today, and it is so well deserved, but what these people created in Serbia needs to be learned from and used for inspiration everywhere in the world where fascism seems impossible to defeat. #Serbia

The Student List had no party machinery. It operated through university assemblies, protests and hiking between cities & towns. They had 2% of national TV political advertising airtime vs 93% for Vučić. This is one of the most remarkable grassroots democratic victories in modern European history.

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”
