The Final Stage of a Strongman’s Takeover Is Turning the Law Against the People Who Defended It (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Watching yesterday’s Senate Judiciary Committee spectacle was like watching a group of Made Men in the Mafia taking on the witness who broke omertá and talked. It wasn’t always this way: there was a time when Republicans cared whether our democracy survived. Yesterday’s disgraceful performance, however, proved that today’s GOP only serves the Orange Caligula who squats in the White House like a malignant toad.

Read excerpt
The “affordability crisis” that Democrats are running on and Trump calls a “scam” is almost always framed as being about prices being too high.

His insurance company, UnitedHealthcare, inserted themselves between Tayler and his doctor, saying that they wouldn’t pay for it, so Tayler and his fiancée just put up a GoFundMe page to cover the cost.

Did Ayn Rand Plant the Ideological Seed That Trumpism Is Harvesting Today? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
