The front page of Sunday’s New York Times includes a trio of well-reported stories that illustrate the stupidity, the corruption, and the real authoritarian dangers posed by the Trump administration and its actions and appointees. Each is worth analyzing. open.substack.com/pub/steventj...

The real Liberation Day is tomorrow, with Trump/Musk protests around the country, not when our idiot president decided to tank our economy. open.substack.com/pub/steventj...

Trump and Musk aren’t as strong or smart as they think. WI election & Signalgate show how vulnerable they are. So now’s the time to fight back. open.substack.com/pub/steventj...

Rather than legitimizing MAGA and its many calculated grievances, Gavin Newsom would be better off engaging with innovative policymakers here and abroad to create better models for Democratic governance, particularly on divisive issues. open.substack.com/pub/steventj...

Conservative hack challenges Zelenskyy for not wearing suit, but not Musk, who wore a T-shirt to a cabinet meeting this week. Such hypocrites. thehill.com/policy/inter...

FBI Director Patel could indict Musk for all the crimes he’s committing now and the wealth he stole from taxpayers. Think about it: what better way to keep the rest of America’s oligarchs in line than to defenestrate and jail the biggest oligarch of all. open.substack.com/pub/steventj...

“They’re just getting started in trying to turn this country into a theocracy,” one speaker said, as others chanted “Stand up, fight back.” Part of the crowd began singing “We Shall Overcome,” which was soon drowned out as the chant of “Fuck that Nazi” picked up. open.substack.com/pub/steventj...

It’s the new Gilded Age, with a shiny facade covering up deep rot and corruption, just daring us to rise up against our billionaire overlords before they finish looting the federal treasury. open.substack.com/pub/steventj...

First Trump triggered a wave of Venezuelan migrants to the U.S. with harsh sanctions on the Maduro regime. Yet now he’s sending those who fled back to that supposed tyrant. Trump is just so dumb and inconsistent. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

None of it makes any sense, except to MAGA’s adolescent bully boy mentality, which revels in seeming tough, punching down, shocking liberals, and mocking expertise. They’re drunk on their own power and unaware of their own limitations. open.substack.com/pub/steventj...

These days, our new reality has a well-known right-wing bias, after Trump parroted Colbert's right-wing parody to seize power. Now Zuckerberg joined MAGAverse. But the wind-swept wildfires destroying Los Angeles are a reminder of how real reality really is. open.substack.com/pub/steventj...

The famous strategy of President Teddy Roosevelt — who led creation of the Panama Canal — was to “speak soft and carry a big stick.” Trump speaks loud but would have a hard time wielding a big stick with his tiny little hands. open.substack.com/pub/steventj...
