my power is out and I'd just like to note that no amount of shiny new gas plants near me would have prevented this distribution failure.

THIS
a concise and true accounting of the current state
Finally, lest anyone try to respond with the superficial argument that new administrations are “entitled” to set their own agenda, it’s one thing to have an agenda; it’s quite another to impose it unilaterally, especially when it flies in the face of so many existing constitutional and statutory arrangements. Indeed, what is especially striking about all of the moves the new administration is undertaking is that they are coming not in the face of a hostile Congress, but without any attempt to even obtain statutory authorization—even though the President’s party also controls both legislative chambers, including this committee. Instead of making the case for why Congress should loosen or repeal the various statutory mandates that the executive branch is violating, this administration is effectively thumbing its nose at our elected representatives in the House and the Senate—i.e., at you. And in response, this committee chose to hold … this hearing.

page from George Orwell, 1984: IV With the deep, unconscious sigh which not even the nearness of the telescreen could prevent him from uttering when his day's work started, Winston pulled the speakwrite towards him, blew the dust from its mouthpiece, and put on his spectacles. Then he unrolled and clipped together four small cylinders of paper which had already flopped out of the pneumatic tube on the right-hand side of his desk. In the walls of the cubicle there were three orifices. To the right of the speakwrite, a small pneumatic tube for written messages, to the left, a larger one for newspapers; and in the side wall, within easy reach of Winston's arm, a large oblong slit protected by a wire grating. This last was for the disposal of waste paper. Similar slits existed in thousands or tens of thousands throughout the building, not only in every room but at short intervals in every corridor. For some reason they were nicknamed memory holes. When one knew that any document was due for destruction, or even when one saw a scrap of waste paper lying about, it was an automatic action to lift the flap of the nearest memory hole and drop it in, whereupon it would be whirled away on a current of warm air to the enormous furnaces which were hidden somewhere in the recesses of the building. Winston examined the four slips of paper which he had unrolled. Each contained a message of only one or two lines, in the abbreviated jargon -- not actually Newspeak, but consisting largely of Newspeak words -- which was used in the Ministry for internal purposes. They ran: times 17.3.84 bb speech malreported africa rectify times 19.12.83 forecasts 3 yp 4th quarter 83 misprints verify current issue times 14.2.84 miniplenty malquoted chocolate rectify times 3.12.83 reporting bb dayorder doubleplusungood refs unpersons rewrite fullwise upsub antefiling With a faint feeling of satisfaction Winston laid the fourth message aside. It was an intricate and responsible job and had better be …

At least it's *former candidate*

Didn't make it past the primary, in 2018.
