The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism.

I'm old enough to remember when CBS News and journalists like Edward R. Murrow held power to account, instead of capitulating to it.

Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis.

Trump is weak at home, and he can be stopped – so long as the domestic political logic of foreign intervention is recognized and turned against him. This act of war is about regime change in the United States. It only succeeds if Americans allow it to do so.

America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth.

Trump doesn't mind turning the lights off on the economy because he’d rather Americans not know how badly it’s doing under him.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.
