Reading @jonathanalter's book on Jimmy Carter fundamentally changed my view of his presidency. I can’t recommend it enough, especially in this moment.

With one term, Carter altered several aspects of the office that still shape the way it operates today. For one, he elevated his VP in a way that hadn't happened before, consulting Mondale on all major issues and giving him an office inside the West Wing. Carter had been surprised to learn that past VPs had been kept out of the loop before on issues as critical as nuclear arms control.

He disclosed his tax returns, setting a precedent that all others (with the exception of Trump) followed after him.

Carter also proposed and signed into law the Inspector General Act, which brought in first formal office of inspectors general for twelve agencies. It created protections for whistleblowers that still has ramifications today.

New from me. If we’ve spoken for more than 5 minutes, I’ve probably subjected you to stories about my grandfather. I was grateful to be able to say a little about him here, in the context of our current debates about Latino voters. Thank you for reading.

Just sitting here watching Telemundo, and, hey, it's @Jaime_SanchezJr! Nice work, Jaime!

Poll crazy town! "Donald Trump Closing Gap With Hispanic Voters, New Polling Shows," then "Harris regains ground with Latino voters, new poll shows." It's almost like we just have to wait and see how it all shakes out!

1945 letter from State Senator Ed Fletcher (San Diego) on Sacramento summer weather: "After two nights with it practically 100 degrees in my room at 11 o'clock, the third night I just simply had to get excused and get into the mountains near Tahoe to get a good night's sleep."

It doesn’t happen often, but occasionally an unofficial “Legislative Historians Club” gathers in a booth at Frank Fats & nerds out.
Honored to be joined recently by #CALeg History Geeks, including former Capitol Museum Curator Vito Sgromo.
