Trump made clear he’s going to make a deal—one that amounts to a capitulation—regardless of Ukraine’s wishes." www.thebulwark.com/p/the-cruelt...

Hi All--a double barrelled post I hope you will find very important (and all free). First a comment on what we saw from Trump last night. The USA is now an open enemy of democracy--and needs to be understood as such. Also, Paul Krugman and I have a video chat. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...
