I have invested myself intellectually and emotionally in this election more than any other in my life, and if you knew me personally you would realize what an astonishing thing that is for me to say. I started posting 2020 election diaries in 2019....

- I like to avoid the “nailed it” characterization, but by golly, Dana Milbank of The Washington Post really, really does nail it here. Brutally, and to the point. On the one-year anniversary of George Floyd’s murder, Republicans in the United States...126 comments 564 Recs
- The 152-member House Republican Study Committee (RSC) released its alternative budget last week, and it was both a doozy and a political gift to Democrats. As the Washington Post's Henry Olsen pointed out, the budget wasn't exactly brimming with fresh...193 comments 231 Recs
