Leadership shouldn’t be about ego, grievance, or recklessness. America deserves better than a captain obsessed with vengeance.

If Trump is exposed by the Epstein files that’s obviously bad for him, but I think it will be almost equally bad in terms of conspiracy theories if he’s not in there in a way that looks suspicious.

Warren: "The president says here's what he thinks should happen to CNN. If that doesn't make your hair stand up, I don't know what does. That's him saying, 'You've got to make a deal w/me. That might involve a $1m a dinner & buying crypto & getting rid of a pesky news outfit I don't like'"

Trump’s influence is leaking power by the hour. You don’t have to believe it…hell, you can doubt every word. But the cracks are showing…the walls are shifting…and the mighty are falling. Whether you see it or not…it’s happening.

"[T]o put the issue of border security as the top objective in one’s national security strategy is a kind of a nativist madness that is more about cultural—and let’s be honest, racial—anxiety about immigration than it is about any tangible security threat," writes @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org.
