I love Tim Ryan
Rep Tim Ryan from Ohio has announced, and has spoken the words "industrial policy" which jumps him up in my esteem. Germany has highly paid manufacturing jobs because they have an industrial policy. We don't have any industrial policy in this country because we've turned all industrial policy making over to CEOs that see every decision in terms of the next financial quarter's stock price.
I also love whoever the Dems nominate, and I'm not interested in any criticism of any candidate that is based on repeating Russian memes.

It’s about time
What is Trump so desperate to hide?
House Ways and Means Committee chair Richard Neal (D-MA) formally requested six years of Donald Trump’s tax returns from the Internal Revenue Service Wednesday, setting up a likely legal fight with the administration over the request. Trump is the first president in decades not to make his tax returns publicly available. The request could shed new light and answer longstanding questions about Trump’s finances. Neal also requested the returns for eight of Trump’s business entities in a move that could provide yet more detail on the president’s financial history. In making the request, Neal invoked an obscure Roaring Twenties-era provision that empowers the head of the ways and means committee – as well as two other congressional committees – to request the tax returns of any filer.
