Refusing to meet with the Parliamentarian to discuss if your accounting scheme violates the rules amounts to overruling her. The GOP is going nuclear to get its tax breaks for the rich.

This book is riveting and so, so infuriating. It follows 5 families in Atlanta who are struggling to remain housed and paints deeply compassionate portraits of each unit. It reads almost like a novel but is outstanding journalism

We cannot let Trump hide behind his Big Budget Bill. We must fight each and every provision that threatens democracy and American lives.

Just in case I'm not the last person (as I fear) to discover this brilliant work, here you go. Its protagonist is every serious and hard-working author I've known over the last 50 years. Funny, smart, real, a masterpiece.
