A couple weeks ago, the demand was 'receivership' of one academic department. Of course it didn't end there.

The thing is, Ackman doesn't believe what's he saying. He's just too deep in Trump's tank to do anything else for the moment.

I always read obituaries as a deceased person's triumph over life's confusions. Here's a 7th-generation Vermont farmer who was a college ski-jumper in Montana and, once home on the farm, was first in the county "to switch from square bales to big round bales."

I am increasingly convinced that there is no coming back from any of this, that whatever happens in future elections, the United States is never going to go back to being the country it once was. It is certainly not the country I came to 30 years ago.
