PSA: Trump Continues To Commit Crimes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
While the president is unlikely to face any consequences for his patently illegal, taxpayer-funded ads, it’s essential to remember he should. Like many Americans, I was watching college gladiatorial sports on Saturday when a new Donald Trump campaign ad interrupted my nachos and circus. In the ad, Trump promises to rid the country of communists and Marxists—which made me glare at my TV long enough to mumble, “I’m not going anywhere, you piece of shit”—followed by a curious tagline: “Paid for by

In this week’s Elie v. U.S., our justice correspondent parses Trump’s attacks on CNN, MS NOW, and Politico. Plus: it’s time to impeach the judges! If it were up to me, three Republican judges on the US Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit would be impeached for their ruling in the Missouri redistricting case.

If you want to stop a large business from causing incalculable harm to ordinary people, there is one surefire way to do it: Release the tort lawyers. That was one of the lessons of the settlement this week between Facebook, which now wishes to be called Meta, and 47 states. The states sued the social-media giant for endangering children w
The Supreme Court Is Helping Trump Rig the Midterms (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Trump’s order limiting mail-in voting is patently unconstitutional—but that didn’t stop the court from giving it the green light. There’s a scene in The Shawshank Redemption where the wrongly convicted prisoner, Andy Dufresne, is trying to convince Warden Norton to act on new evidence that could exonerate him. The warden, who is using Dufresne’s accounting skills to hide his own illegal dealings, offers a bunch of reasons for ignoring the new evidence. Dufresne exclaims, “How can you be so obtus
