Perfectly executed piece from my colleague @danamilbank.bsky.social, on our owner's edict that WaPo opinions write "every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets." The greatest threat to these pillars is Donald Trump. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Cheers for Washington Post columnist extraordinaire @danamilbank.bsky.social, who writes today that "the single greatest threat to 'personal liberties and free markets' in the United States today" is "President Donald Trump." wapo.st/3DaSKxX (gift link)

Trump is in it only for himself. As the Kash Patel hearing and Trump's hijacking of the plane-crash tragedy show, the president's top 2nd term priorities are: 1) revenge, 2) revenge, and 3) revenge. My latest @postopinions.bsky.social column. wapo.st/42xEJop

The Trump White House has no idea what the Trump White House just did. My @postopinions.bsky.social sketch of Karoline Leavitt's first briefing: She'll have to get back to us on whether Trump just "paused" healthcare for 82 million Americans. wapo.st/3PWpQEG

Trump returns — and so does his astounding ignorance. Trump's first week has been a classic case of garbage in, garbage out. My latest @postopinions.bsky.social column. wapo.st/3WzJb2a

Trump is already abandoning his campaign promises. But that's okay because we're going to war with Denmark. My latest @postopinions.bsky.social column. wapo.st/49R5d5X

What does not kill me makes me younger: My @postopinions.bsky.social column on learning to drive a tractor in late midlife. The emerging longevity science says we need to learn new skills as we age (unless that new skill radically hastens our demise). wapo.st/40Xr216

Trump is already Making America Gape Again. His early appointments are horrifying, but they also indicate his administration will be just as bumbling as it was last time. My latest @postopinions.bsky.social column. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
