1/So the lead promise in the GOP's "Commitment to (Screw) America" is "Fight Inflation and Lower the Cost of Living", in which they seek to blame Biden for inflation but have no plan of their own. #VoteBlue2022 #inflation sltrib.com/opinion/commen…
2/That's right - no plan. "A party that talks about a single problem so relentlessly must have a solution to offer. So the Republicans must be out on the hustings offering chapter and verse about their answer to inflation, right? Alas, no." #VoteBlue2022 latimes.com/business/story…
3/ Zip, nada, rien. Even if you don’t like the Democrats’ economic philosophy, it's at least coherent. Republicans don't have such a clear vision, and in many ways, that’s worse than having policies you disagree with. #VoteBlue2022 #inflation bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

1/ What an amazing win for #LAFC in the #MLSCup in what may have been the greatest MLS Cup ever. Per MLS: We're confident in saying this was the greatest MLS Cup – if not the greatest game – the league has ever seen. mlssoccer.com/news/best-mls-…
2/ LA Times: #LAFC’s first championship comes in greatest MLS Cup final. “It was like a Halloween movie,” Vela said, “and then we finished with a Hollywood movie.” #MLSCup latimes.com/sports/soccer/…
3/ ESPN: #LAFC won the best, most thrilling #MLSCup in Major League Soccer history on Saturday. espn.com/soccer/major-l…

1/On this day, #JimmyCarter was defeated by Ronald Reagan on the one-year anniversary of the hostage crisis. His Presidency deserves reevaluation and if today's Republicans had 1 percent of his decency, the world would be a better place. bennetkelley.wordpress.com/2015/08/22/the…
2/The latest historian Presidential rankings list him as #40 in a key category - luck. He had to deal with inflation caused by the end of Nixon's price controls and two oil shocks - the OPEC embargo and the Iranian revolution.
3/ Had the mission to rescue the hostages in Iran succeeded he likely would have been reelected.

1/ As we celebrate #LaborDay an often overlooked facet is the history of the Labor movement and how workers seeking better pay and conditions often were met with fatal force, extradition or arrest. Haymarket Martyrs' Monument
2/ This includes the #GreatRailroadStrike of 1877 in which the National Guard and federal troops were used to suppress the strike and fired into crowds with an estimated 100 deaths nationwide. #LaborDay
3/ The 1886 #BayViewMassacre in Milwaukee in which the state militia opened fire against peaceful demonstrators calling for an 8-hr workday killing 15. #LaborDay

1/ My starting point for #SupremeCourt jurisprudence since 2000 is a telling quote from Joel Klein's "The Natural" in which a Republican Senator concedes to Clinton that Republicans don't believe in government, but they love power.
2/2000: #BushvGore, the Supreme Court stays the Florida recount with any opinion justifying the stay and then reverses the Fla. Supreme Court recount order as violating the Equal Protection Clause in a per curiam opinion that can't be cited as precedent.
3/2002: President Bush signed the #McCainFeingold campaign finance reform law, which foolishly included a restriction on the use of independent expenditures for commercials 60 days before an election.
