The first reporter to speak up, interrupt, and call Trump out to his face while he is berating, insulting and personally attacking another female reporter for no reason will be a national hero. You may lose access, but you will be a legend forever. At some point, someone has to.

We must make ourselves and our alliance stronger than the US, Russia, and China simultaneously. It will not be an easy task nor will it be an impossible task. The future of Democracy and the rule of law rest squarely on our shoulders and how we respond in the face of this multipolar triad of evil.

Every other country does it, Mark. It's not some vague thought experiment.
Lots of ways it can be imperfect, of course, but it fundamentally gives everyone access to healthcare without fear of bankruptcy.

President Trump accused a group of Democratic lawmakers of sedition when they told members of the military that they must refuse unlawful orders. But Pam Bondi, the attorney general, said the same thing last year.
Must the Military Disobey Unlawful Orders? Pam Bondi Has Said Yes.
As a lawyer for a conservative think tank, Ms. Bondi, now the attorney general, filed a Supreme Court brief last year saying service members who followed such orders were committing crimes.
