Surely I won’t be the first to have said it, but a penny per character in a tweet almost seems fitting if not overpaying. But they need to amend his contract to match the new 280 character limit.
👓 Republicans Are Trashing the Law to Keep Trump’s Taxes Secret | Intelligencer | NYMag
Congress has a clear legal right to examine Trump’s taxes. Republicans could not care less what the law says.
When a bad Democrat comes to power, the Republican party will have lost any moral authority for calling for ousters… We can’t have two sets of rules for our politicians. Either they follow the rules and mores or they don’t and Trump is wreaking a horrible precedent.

To keep things a bit more DRY (aka don’t repeat yourself), I’m using the JetPack Upcoming Events widget now that pulls in iCal feed data from a special shared Google Calendar where I put my public events. This way I can put things in my calendar and my website will automatically update within an hour or two. Hooray for the little wins.
