Opinion | Is it America’s fate to decline and fall? Here’s what history says. The American experiment will soon turn 250. Is its time running out?

Good essay. We have become more Spartan, and less Athenian, during the 21st century.

Opinion | I resigned from the military because of Trump I could not swear to follow a commander in chief who seems so willing to disregard the Constitution.

Hopefully others will step forward and resign publicly.

Originalist β€˜Bombshell’ Complicates Case on Trump’s Power to Fire Officials

A prominent originalist legal scholar’s article asserts that β€œthe text of the Constitution and the historical evidence surrounding it grants Congress broad authority to shape the executive branch, including by putting limits on the president’s power to fire people.”

What Is the One Trait That Makes for a Great Manager? You Might Be Surprised A 10-year study of a large multinational firm found that the best bosses steer their employees into just the right roles.

This is interesting and makes sense.

The best boss I ever worked under used to say: β€œI want it so that, if anyone gets run over by a bus β€” including myself β€” the work still gets done.”

Trump says he’ll send troops to Portland, authorizes β€˜full force’ The president says the feds will provide β€œall necessary Troops” and called Portland β€œWar ravaged”

Mar a Lago is less safe (and dumpier) than most Portland neighborhoods. So is Epstein Island.
