I’d like to dedicate this one to Maria Butina, who would have been right at home in this band:
BREAKING From NYT: Trump Knew Before His Inauguration That Putin Ordered Election Hack
The NY Times is reporting tonight that Trump had been provided with incontrovertible evidence that Vladimir Putin personally ordered the hacking of the of the DNC computers. From the NYT article: “Two weeks before his inauguration, Donald J. Trump was shown highly classified intelligence indicating that President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia had personally ordered […]
Most Intriguing Primaries: SD 2 And SD 3
I first want to talk about how local Democratic primaries could impact the statewide primary races. For the most part, with just a few exceptions, the local primaries could well drive up progressive participation precisely where such participation could help statewide reform candidates.

July 12 Open Thread: Pizza For Perverts
I was gonna lead off with the news that Tom Carper has finally been engaged on the issue of his terrible record. But I can’t emphasize it enough. Hey, read the article twice.
