Do not deal with Trump. Above all, do not deal with Trump. For God's sake, do not deal with Trump. He is a toxic infected wart on humanity; he has sent armed thugs into US homes, has disappeared people, and he'll do the same to you.
YES! YES! YES!

We must have a post-Trump reckoning of the trial-conviction-prison kind.

All right--the NY Times has seemingly beefed up its coverage of the outrages of this 'administration.' But at what cost? I invite you to find the incomplete sentence embedded in this article. (No, this is not a trick -- but if it gets you to read the article, great!)

Good work, Mom. The kid knows what's what.

In a wonderful interview on the Daily Beast, Mary Trump just reminded us that her uncle is a nihilist -- and when he goes down he will take as many people with him as he can. We need to be prepared and aware. It ain't gonna be just his peeps.

I am with you. The whole ‘Homeland’ vocabulary put us in a new and awful world.

OK I'm slowly making up with the NY Times as it slowly makes its way back to real journalism. Meanwhile, these 'overlooked' obits are a great contribution. This one fudges on Jung's sexual exploitation of a young patient, but does highlight Spielrein's bold genius.

Bessent is like a student taking an oral exam who has just plain given up. Any answer at all, no matter how bizarre.
