1. The "crisis" in Iran was solved in 2015. The United States and others negotiated the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which imposed a rigorous inspection regime that cut off Iran’s path to a bomb. Then Trump withdrew from the agreement for no reason.

What an embarrassment. Good for the Juventus players for not humoring Trump’s bullshit, but why did the club have them there to begin with?

Utter bullshit. It's "adjudicated" by the IRS every year when you file your taxes. He's a moron.

If we don't want to repeat history, we'd better be strong enough to learn from it. The authoritarian playbook starts with pointing to a group of people who don’t look like you and blaming them for your problems. When those issues are still there, what comes next?

Narrator: Trump's using the FCC to extort a "settlement" payoff from the owner of CBS in return for approval to sell the company to an entity controlled by the family of a Trump supporting billionaire. That is TrumpLaw in a nutshell, as discussed here.

The collective shrug from our media at 340,000 deaths resulting from the closure of USAID is appalling. This is one of the most horrific things an American administration has ever done.

My request of Senate Democrats who call Trump a “threat to the rule of law” or whatever is that they either (1) actually show up for work and ask his crackpot judicial nominees hard questions, or (2) make way for someone who is willing to do the job
