Max Rose Is A Garbage Member Of Congress...

...And he represents my old neighborhood in Brooklyn, a neighborhood where both Bernie and Ruth Bader Ginsberg grew up. Rose's district ends at the corner of Avenue P and E 15th Street and I lived 2 blocks away on 17th between Avenues O and P. It was once the most liberal district in America. Now it's paired with Staten Island and Bay Ridge to make a swing district that's only been represented by a Republican or a Blue Dog from the Republican wing of the Democratic Party, right now Max Rose. He's got a tough Republican challenger and I hope she beats him. His new ad isn't about her... more »

Report Shows Huge Cost of Tax Breaks to South Carolina Public Schools -- Up 31% in Two Years

Kenneth Thomas at Middle Class Political Economist - 22 minutes ago
My colleagues at Good Jobs First released a new report today showing that South Carolina public schools are losing high, and rapidly rising, amounts of potential revenue to property tax abatements controlled solely by county governments. Thanks to Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement #77 adopted in 2015, governments that passively lose income to "tax abatements" are required, in their Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports, or CAFRs, to list the total losses annually. Passive losses occur when they are the result of the actions of another governmental unit. The ... more »

A beautiful aspect of American democracy is the separation of powers.

For example, Congress, which is directly accountable to the people, is charged with legislating on a national level. Executive agencies, which are not directly accountable to the people... more »

How Evangelicals and Conspiracy Theories Combine in Trump’s America

S Jonathon O'Donnell at The National Interest - 24 minutes ago
*S Jonathon O'Donnell* *Politics, Americas* For many evangelicals, Trump’s alleged battle against the “deep state” adopts cosmic meaning, as the US government, undocumented immigrants and Black and LGBTQ people are cast as agents of demonic forces. Are demons active forces in American life and politics? That is what a large number of evangelicals in the US believe and are increasingly vocal about. Since the 1980s, growing numbers of evangelicals have given the fight against demons a key role in their spirituality and their politics. Known as “spiritual warfare”, this views demon... more »

The genetically modified food experiment has continued on without clear, common sense text based labeling for decades since it was first introduced without our consent in the mid-1990s, kicking off with the failed “FlavrSavr” tomato experiment.

Amb. to China Terry Branstad retires in the midst of deteriorating relations

Uriel at 'Nox & Friends - 5 hours ago
On September 14, 2020, even though formally shutdown in tit for tat by China as of late July, the U.S. Beijing Embassy in Chengdu and the State Department posted a press release on the ambassador’s leaving. The notice states clearly that the Ambassador is retiring. Given his age at 73 and the coming elections, it is certainly a reason for leaving his current post although no information has surprisingly leaked or been posted as to why he is leaving now. The Ambassador noted that it has been an extraordinary honor to represent the President and the American people over the … Continue ... more »

Free speech, Meriwether, and Menkel-Meadow

Andrew Koppelman at Balkinization - 5 hours ago
Two cases of administrative punishment for the use of language in the classroom have been in the news. One involves a professor’s insistence on treating a transgender student worse than others. The other involves a professor who spoke the N word in a law school class about hate speech. The free speech claim is silly in the first of these cases, quite strong in the second. Prof. Nicholas Meriwether of Shawnee State University, Ohio, refused to address a transgender student by the student’s preferred pronouns.

When Will the Frog Jump Out?

jurassicpork at Welcome Back to Gotham City - 5 hours ago
Our nation is burning up. From within and without. If it isn't the wildfires on the west coast that are blithely ignored by Donald Trump, who looks at the western states as a lost cause in his Quixotic reelection bid, it's the coronavirus that's already claimed 200,000 American lives. The daytime cityscape of San Francisco in northern California had been accurately compared to Ridley Scott's *Blade Runner* while others have gone there and compared it to Hell itself. Trump's response to the west coast wildfires is essentially identical to his so-called response to COVID... more »
