Government Ethics
When the ends justify the means government ethics is an anachronism. Classic abuses like corruption in office are difficult to ignore and are usually punished sooner or later. Sneaky bad behaviors like spreading disinformation or shaming the nation into agreement on partisan imperatives do more damage and can influence millions of voters.

Democrats’ Islamophobia Problem is Worse Than You Think
Last week, prominent House Democrats appealed for "both parties to come together"1 to prevent a shutdown four days from today.
