It’s like the government requiring you to document every time you buy something because you might be buying drugs. Mainly the requirement makes reporters’ lives easy and gives them some interesting pieces to write during slow news periods. That’s not enough either. 3/

Campaign laws require disclosure of incoming contributions–that makes sense. Who owns you? Voters want to know. But there’s an equally intrusive requirement to disclose EXPENSES. Why? Make it a crime to pocket the money, but that doesn’t justify pain-in-ass reporting regime. 2/

Or Biden, faced with huge Trump lead next year, could get Kamala to step down into the Senate and name … Barack Obama as his VP. (This works for those who have a narrow interpretation of the 22d amendment.) No shame for Kamala in deferring to Obama in time of crisis … 4/
