"Trump didn't hide his grades because they were good.
He didn't hide his medical records because he's healthy. He didn't suppress the Epstein files because he's innocent.
And he's not blocking the jobs report & 3rd-quarter GDP numbers because they're strong."

So many great recommendations in the replies
Ok BlueSky: what are your favorite history books in terms of sheer page-turning, narrative propulsion? Thinking along the line of Killers of the Flower Moon, etc. Nonfiction chronicles that read like novels or movies.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

Pardon my suddenly watery eyes, but a long-time regular just stopped in with this.
He'd been reading, found this line, and thought of me, so he wrote it out and brought it in.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.
