My latest, on the importance of thinking ahead, in line with Trump’s rapidly worsening behaviour: we need to be prepared to respond, not to what Trump has done to us to date, but to what he’s likely to do to us in future
Opinion: Brace yourselves: whatever crazy, awful things Trump may have done to date, it’s only going to get worse
The world has never before been faced with such a threat. The United States has handed the nuclear codes to a madman, a criminal, a would-be dictator and a moron

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath.

I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.
