Damn I love David Cay Johnston

[rurallib]

trying to remember to keep his DC Report in my daily reading.

Got an email from him many years ago after I made a blog post of how I hated him (because he told the truth about what our government was doing and Could take it it was so depressing).

I think he and Paul Krugman better than anyone else cut through the crap and explain how we are getting screwed in plain language.
Also love how he cuts through Trump's BS and basically leaves him naked for the world to see.

That is all

and explaining economics, and other stuff.

5. Oh yes

I fell in love with David Cay Johnston back during the Bush years and since then, I perk up whenever I hear his name on TV. He is so informative and interesting.

[not fooled]

6. Yep he's great

if only more people had listened before the election.



Add to Johnston, Krugman, Reich: the great Charlie Pierce of Esquire. They constitute the best reporting and commentary on the wrecking of the nation.

About DC Report:

DCReport is a unique, nonprofit news service that reports what the President and Congress DO, not what they SAY. We are founded on core investigative journalism principles of research, fact-checking, and reporting in plain English how you and your family are affected by what happens in Washington, D.C.

DCReport’s founder and editor is Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Cay Johnston, author of seven books including The Making of Donald Trump, and most recently, It’s Even Worse Than You Think: What the Trump Administration is Doing to America. His reporting persuaded two presidents to change their tax policies, stopped tax dodges that Congress valued at more than $250 billion in the first decade alone, and promoted the passage of many federal and state laws and regulations that continue to protect people. The Washington Monthly calls David “one of America’s most important journalists.”
