The reason we are where we are is simple: 1) Trump is a consummate conman; 2) A majority of American voters are just plain stupid and 3) stupid people historically fall for conmen. The Democrats don’t need different strategists they need Madison Ave marketers to rebrand them-completely!

Trump has been racking up some procedural "wins" at the Supreme Court and the answer for why is simple: John Roberts is a feckless coward. He's like a cop in Uvalde, cowering outside waiting for the shooting to stop, instead of doing his job. My latest in @thenation.com

President Trump is using the Abrego Garcia case to establish a truly chilling proposition: that no one can stop him from imprisoning anyone he wants anywhere else in the world never to be seen or heard from again. His dream is to preside over a police state. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/o...

Firing a DOJ lawyer for admitting a government error when the lawyer’s duty to the court requires exactly that admission is about as wrong as anything can be. Only in the lawless, topsy-turvy world of Trump and Vance is such absurdity imaginable. Yet here we are! www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/u...
