Anti-Oligarchy, Anti-Kakistocracy, Anti-Kleptocracy, Anti-Idiocracy. I’m appalled by the blatant corruption & abject incompetence of the current administration. Democracy may not be perfect, but it’s our best hope.

Washington Post's new headline is still wrong.
1. The release was not "huge."
2. DOJ missed the deadline to release all the files.
