How the Republicans Broke Congress
We used to blame both parties for our poisonous political environment. Not anymore."Eleven years ago, we published a book called “The Broken Branch,” which we subtitled “How Congress Is Failing America and How to Get It Back on Track.” Embedded in that subtitle were two assumptions: first, that Congress as an institution — which is to say, both parties, equally — is at fault; and second, that the solution is readily at hand. In 2017, the Republicans’ scandalous tax bill is only the latest proof that both assumptions are wrong."
The Republican party has been working on the project
since 1913.

‘Intelligent’ Policing and My Innocent Children
Law enforcement’s embrace of A.I. and its built-in racial biases terrifies me.Machines do not care.
Users of machines must care or we will live in a draconian world.
"Garbage in; gospel out" must not be the rule.
I was taught "garbage in; garbage out."
Historical policing data is garbage.
