With Yoon removed from office today, by my count that makes 34 democratic leaders convicted since 2010. Only one—Trump—faced no real consequences. Trump's actions weren't uncommon. What was exceptional was how our institutions failed to hold him accountable.

What you see happening to our economy and constitution is the result of a conspiracy theorist huckster/ sexual abuser POTUS hawking $5M “gold cards” while he shoots America in the face. That same huckster puts idiot loyalists in charge of our institutions. $6.6T in value lost. Our country savaged.

There are still MAGA men yelling at me on the internet that I have Trump Derangement Syndrome even as their 401(k)s tank. Real TDS is thinking a guy who ran his own company into bankruptcy multiple times knows what he’s doing and Nobel Prize winning economists don’t.

Trump went to a LIV golf tournament instead of attending the dignified transfer of four U.S. Army soldiers who died in Lithuania. If you're wondering why this is so disgusting and insulting, I wrote about my time in the Army doing dignified transfers here: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Dems should start with the premise that Rs can be pressured to buck Trump on tariffs. Do not assume it's hopeless. Hound them relentlessly: Rs and Trump are hiking your prices to fund tax cuts for the rich. Take it to red areas. @normornstein.bsky.social and me: newrepublic.com/article/1936...

I texted with a friend last night who works for a pretty large Midwestern company. He told me his bosses had been waiting to announce layoffs until yesterday so they could blame them on Trump’s tariffs. He kept his job, but a lot of his friends didn’t. Shitty situation.
