Trump "showed a level of viciousness toward [Rob] Reiner in death that we rarely see in anyone, and have never before seen in an American president," Peter Wehner argues—and it's a mistake to dismiss his words.
Trump’s Inferno of Hate Is Intensifying
When a man with the president’s personality feels besieged and abandoned, he becomes more desperate and more dangerous.

Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."

Warnock: If I'm honest, there are days when I have to ask people of my faith tradition as a Christian, are we reading the same book?
The book I know says I was hungry and you fed me. I was sick, I was in prison and you visited me, I was a stranger and you welcomed me….

In an era that looked as if it might be defined by an American man of depraved cruelty, corruption & shame, what a magnificent thing the Catholic Church has done. The elevation of an American man of goodness, grace, humility, mercy & faith to the Throne of St. Peter is moving & momentous for us all.

I hear people complain about how hard it is to find or make friends.
What really takes work is to BE a good friend—you'll find that if you're doing that (putting in the time, effort, patience, care), you'll often receive in return the kinds of friends you'd been longing for.

So it turns out Pete Hegseth lied. And Michael Waltz lied. And Tulsi Gabbard lied. And also lied to Congress while under oath. And John Ratliffe lied. And also lied to Congress while under oath.
And as ever Jeffrey Goldberg and the Atlantic were telling the truth.
This is why journalism matters.

Almost every major Trump action is intentionally illegal. Trump is gambling that the US democratic system is too broken to stop him. He assumes, to adapt a phrase: "All we've got to do is kick the door in and the whole edifice will come crumbling down."

WOW. Most Americans (74%) DISAPPROVE of Donald Trump pardoning the Jan. 6 rioters, including most Republicans and Republican-leaning voters.
The American people are waking up to the fact that we have a lawless President who does not “back the blue.”

There isn't a plan. There's no nine-dimensional chess. He's not a mastermind. He's an angry man drunk on his own power, picking stupid fights for no reason, all to demonstrate "strength." There's no defense for this.
