This piece is just an essential, important and excellent intervention as Coates' Vanity Fair essay was. One NYT column isn't that important, but an accommodationist mindset has spread in center-left elite circles. And it should be rejected forcefully. democracyamericana.com/posts/c5d024...

For the first time ever, traditional Medicare will require pre-approvals, thanks to a quiet Trump admin pilot. It’s a gift to insurers, a hassle for doctors, and a threat to public Medicare. From Robert Kuttner:

Paramount just paid Trump a bribe for merger approval. When Democrats retake power, I’ll be first in line calling for federal charges. In the meantime, state prosecutors should make the corporate execs who sold out our democracy answer in court, today.

Now that Trump has mocked Catholics, I would like to once again draw attention to the media double standard: When Democratic Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer "left Catholics seething" last year, she was forced to publicly apologize and it made headlines.

If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.
