While the gospels say that Judas led the Romans to Jesus, a new theory is gaining traction with some Biblical scholars. There is evidence, some say, that Judas merely shared Christ's location on an insecure group chat that accidentally included several Roman officials and journalists.

One of my Radical Leftist opinions is the government shouldn't be able to deprive anyone of life, liberty, or property without due process of law

They're making this pretty easy, even, by targeting, like, "gate attendants at national parks" and "people who answer the phone at the IRS"
this might be terrible strategy in a country built on Protestant self-denial, but I really want someone out there loudly making the affirmative case that the country should not only spend but lose money. We are citizens, not investors.
If the Democrats can't bring themselves to say "government spending is good, actually" in this precise moment, then they really are cooked and all need to be replaced.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office. 
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor. 
3) Donors make a huge profit. 
4) Repeat.

For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

I am unforgiving of Congressional cowardice. They pledged an oath to support and defend the Constitution. They have historically sent millions into war, the sometimes-tenuous justification being a need to defend our way of life. There is now a coup afoot and it falls to Congress itself to defend us.

The Administration’s indefinite suspension of refugee resettlement is a stark abandonment of U.S. leadership and commitment to humanitarian protection, leaving vulnerable refugees in danger.

It's difficult to overstate just how much professional journalists have been trained to fear defamation lawsuits and how much it has impacted the ability to tell the truth

Folks: please be diligent about not disseminating Ann Telnaes' cartoon in a way that she's not getting the clicks on it (until she says differently). Her IP matters now more than ever.

Make it go viral but make sure she benefits.

The best pragmatic advice I implemented this year was that reading must now be accomplished with the same directed energy and sense of pure purpose as physical exercise. You allocate a certain block of time each day entirely to the task of reading on paper (preferably a book). The gains accumulate.

When I was a lawyer in the White House, I can’t stress enough how much we all cared about following the rules - the black letter law and the informal limits of tradition, morality and shame.

You really can’t fathom yet what it will mean for the most powerful actors to care about none of that.
