The attempted mugging of a visiting president was about the world war that Musk, Trump, and Vance have chosen. If we attend to what Vance and Trump said yesterday, we can work our way to the unreason of American policy, and to the chaos that will follow.

“The Founding generation believed that oaths have consequences, binding those who took them to a course of action.”

As applied to the incoming president, that’s unfortunately wishful thinking. If you’re listening tomorrow, let that sink in.

I’m always looking for things that explain a lot but that people have a hard time remembering.

Examples: Air is stuff. Pee comes from blood. All land vertebrates have a single common ancestor. Venus is bright enough to cast visible shadows. Clouds are heavy. Bones are alive.

Any others you know?

On Dec.7, 1941, the date FDR rightly said would “live in infamy,” Japan launched its sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. But without it we might never have declared war on England’s side in its battle to save civilization from Hitler and the axis powers, and we might face a fascist future. But wait . . .

I don’t pretend to know the ins and outs of social media or how to dig out of the hole Democrats have dug for ourselves, but I have been having this conversation with people in our party for years. Maybe now they’ll get their heads out of the sand and do something
