Whether you are more concerned about the far-fetched risk of an attempted coup, or about familiar forms of voter suppression taken to new extremes, the remedy is the same: we need to turn out in record numbers, both to vote and if necessary to face down ICE.

For the first time in 80 years, the federal debt-to-GDP ratio is over 100%.
In the past, the rich used to pay higher taxes.
Now, the government pays the rich interest on a swelling debt, caused largely by lower taxes on the rich.
It's a big switcheroo.
