I was just an Education Department guy under Reagan and the most junior WH senior staffer under G.H.W. Bush, so what do I know? But if I were an ex-president, and the current president were executing the most disastrous turn in American foreign policy in 80 years, I think I might say something?

Trump is blocking the Associated Press from the Oval Office. Rather than stand up for freedom of the press, the rest of legacy media is taking advantage of AP's absence.
When this inevitably leads to AP cutbacks, the same legacy media will lament the plight of media decline.

No surprise a federal judge has quickly halted Trump’s effort to end birthright citizenship. The Reagan appointee calls it “blatantly unconstitutional.” Here is my explainer in Bloomberg.
