Happy 1st f’ing birthday to US!!!!

To celebrate, here are some of our favorite oldies but goodies — including this one from a year ago today. Anyone remember the Italian translator who was stumped by Trump?

We picked up on some … similar speech patterns between Pete Buttigeig and Barack Obama:

We mapped Trump’s weeks of downplaying back in March:

Trump’s COVID briefings (remember those?): Same script, different day.

If you need some ~spirituality~ today, might we recommend Marianne Williamson’s coronavirus meditation?

And some of that new new: A tale of two town halls with two very different candidates.

We can’t wait to see what the next year has in store, both on and off this hellsite. Need take-free news? There's an app for that: http://recount.co/app . Find even more to explore: http://recount.co/comehang .

Thanks for being on this ride with us. We couldn’t do it without you.
