A modest proposal to save democracy. paulschimek.medium.com/needed-1-senat…
Check out my new article on the past and future of obstruction in Congress. paulschimek.medium.com/the-end-of-obs…
Impeachment #2 strategy: first witness shd be citizen Donald J Trump. Require him to testify under oath this time. It’s a federal crime if he lies. (Even if he secretly pardoned himself for prior crimes)
If you are a republican congressperson who is afraid you will be assassinated if you vote to impeach Trump, that is EXACTLY why you should vote to impeach Trump.

Check out my surprising findings (to some) about bicycle safety after analyzing 30,000 car-bike crashes! towardsdatascience.com/pennsylvania-b…
It's "whoa," not "woah". There, now you know and I don't have to repeat it.
These are the two best books on the Reconstruction Era in the United States. Bruce Ackerman's "We the People: Transformations" is the most creative socio-legal account of the Civil War Amendments. And Eric Foner's "The Second Founding" is the authoritative history of it all.
Look, death is very sad but calm down. If Trump wins this happens anyway. If they fill her seat and we win, we pack the courts. Or perhaps sanity prevails upon 4 GOPers and Biden fills it.

This ad tells the story using Trump's own words and nothing else, with the exception of the conclusion: "Unfit. Unwell. Unacceptable."

FWIW - At least 2 million military personnel, diplomats, US citizens overseas and their families vote by mail every year. I voted by mail for 24 years while in the military. It works just fine. America, we can do this, and in 2020, we should do this.
The TV networks have to be smarter. They are letting Trump use this deadly pandemic to grab attention even when he’s recklessly misinforming the public, has nothing to say & abuses reporters seeking straight answers. It’s a 2016 redux & they have a duty to stop straight coverage.
If only we had some sort of national leader who could do this, instead of leaving it to the Governor of California.
