Long but productive day

I'm trying to get home a little earlier than usual, so this will be a lazy post. Stuff to read:

• Hillary Clinton, who has debated both President Biden and the convicted-felon XPOTUS, has thoughts on tomorrow night's event.
• Dana Milbank doesn't mourn Rep. Jamaal Bowman's (D-NY) loss last night, and neither do I.
• If you hate corporations, you might want to support President Biden's increase to the corporate income tax as well as to his proposed increase in the share-buyback tax.
• The village of Wheaton, Ill., would rather have 165 car crashes and multiple pedestrian fatalities on a stretch of stroad by a school and retirement community than spend $865,000 on a traffic light. (I mean, better that they didn't build the stroad in the first place, of course.)
• A new report says that cancelling New York City's congestion tax will kill 100,000 jobs.

Finally, today is the 50th anniversary of the very first time a UPC got scanned in a grocery store. Happy shopping.

Hmmm. I have troubles with the first half of Milbank’s piece, mostly because I side with James Carville in the sense that Democrats have a very bad habit of staying silent and compromising too fast. It’s why I registered with a different party decades ago. And without more information, calling Bowman antisemitic is not so easy to blindly accept. I know nothing about him, but as pathetic as the Democratic Party has proven itself to be for decades, it’s still much less horrifying than the Grand Old Phascists.

Yak: Links do not constitute endorsement. I don't agree with everything Milbank wrote either.
