Opinion: Trump media boycott will hurt him most of all. There are bigger threats to press freedom (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Donald Trump is not the first US president to go to war with the press. George Washington in private lamented the âarrows of malevolenceâ aimed at him by the media. John Adams was so incensed by the yellow journalism of his rivals that he tried to have them prosecuted. Most of the press loathed FDR, engaging in a decade-long campaign against him. Even the sainted Eisenhower raged against the âsensation-seeking columnists and commentatorsâ. Richard Nixon spent his entire career in a cold
Jim OâCallaghan can look to UK to see if making life hard for immigrants helps integration (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At a Fianna Fáil âthink inâ this week, Minister for Justice Jim OâCallaghan announced proposals to change drastically the laws around immigration and citizenship, by his own account the biggest alteration in âa generationâ.

Read excerpt
If asked to find a true story on the internet today, the comment section under a YouTube video is hardly where you would think to look. YouTube has an often-justified reputation as something of a cesspit, with bots, banality and extreme political content abounding. But, like Walt Whitman, it contains multitudes. During my PhD research on political music history, the site was an indispensable source for rare songs and performances. Perhaps youâve noticed the unusual tone of the comments underne
The scale of corruption in Trumpâs second administration is head-spinning (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Itâs a time of enormous crimes and heavy punishments in the US. Unfortunately, thereâs little connection between the two. The second Trump administration has been defined by personal enrichment, an indifference to legitimacy and an authoritarian attitude towards dissent. The disregard for the rule of law exceeds anything seen in previous administrations, including Trumpâs own. Any tenuous respect for international law has evaporated, with the US proudly launching military interventions wid
