I’ve been absorbing info faster than I can share it, as Trump engages in some sort of political version of the Gish Gallop, doing crazy shit faster than anyone can even comprehend it. Here’s a linkdump of some political writing I’ve found interesting or insightful in the last week. I’ve tried to order them roughly such that the most interesting are at the top. Fortunately, for most of them the URL gives a decent idea of what they’re about. Unfortunately, I know I’m missing a bunch that I meant to post ;P
