Pay attention: "Access to healthcare" is not healthcare. I have "access" to Ryan Reynolds. But he's not covering me.

"Trump's 'moderate' defense secretary has already brought us to the brink of war" - my 1st column for @theintercept

Dear Goodness.

I put the positive reaction to Trump's speech down to a short-term 'I expected so much worse' effect. Like when you watch a film everyone has told you is the worst thing ever in the history of film and it turns out only to be the 3rd worst thing ever in the history of film and for just a moment you think 'huh, that was OK actually' before it hits you that no, it was shit.

We're on borrowed time now.

That is a truly frightening look at Mattis and what he's done and what he could do.

I suppose that that's better than nothing at all. For all that it's worth though.

Interesting Freudian slip at the end of this comment by the Malaysian developer of the new Trump hotel in Vancouver:

I was terrified,” Joo Kim of the Canada-based Holborn Development company told The Associated Press last week. “The people who ran the city were not happy with me. I was scared, but I think they understand. They understand that I'm trapped into - not trapped, locked into - an agreement

Sorry Ginger. I was referring to the speech contents there.

Trudeau - I so would

Can someone explain this voter suppression thing to me? I don't see what's wrong with requiring ID to vote, its required here in Finland. How is it suppressing voters? Are IDs not so available or something?

I'd love to have been a fly on the wall at his meeting with city officials.

Just various bits of info re voter suppression and who it affects and why

Thanks Ginger that crosscheck thing sounds well dodgy, there's bound to be lots of people with the same names in such a big country. Very much disagree with taking votes away from ex-cons too (or even current prisoners), everyone over the age of 18 should be able to vote no matter who they are or what they've done, its such a fundamental right.
