Tomorrow on my live webcast History Matters:

The Problem With Gags in Congress

This week’s gagging of Rep. Jim McGovern shows how gags often backfire. John Quincy Adams would like to have a word.

Wow.

The Post social media platform is closing in a week.
Like -- all done.

Sad. It was a smart place to exchange ideas.
And....it died. Hmm.

A thread regarding why having a hearing regarding Justice Alito's actions matters.

Regardless of the outcome, a hearing draws a line in the sand -- about what is acceptable, and what isn't.

My Washington Post article on the importance of hearings is linked at the end.

I've written about this before.

Hearings matter.

Regardless of their outcome, they draw a line in the sand regarding what is NOT acceptable, and demonstrate that to the public.

A hearing would also show the Democrats pushing back.

When Justice Alito authors the majority opinion in an important gerrymandering case, you know it's going to be a bad outcome. And it is, in South Carolina. supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf…

I will be writing about this Trump Reich BS. They are marketing dictatorship and this is part of it. I can say, having wriitten a book on Fascist film propaganda, that the person who created that ad has studied Fascist aesthetics.

The senate should hold hearings on justice Alito’s flag gate. Imagine if RBG had an antifa flag hanging outside of her beach house

Congresswoman, in what way do you believe that your support helped this project? We chose it because it's a good project, and funded it using President Biden's infrastructure package, which you voted against.
