McCarthy died 3 years later at age 48. Trumps veneer is no different and while not so fragile can be penetrated by ridicule.
Keep tying him to McCarthy - it'll stick.

What I want to hear continually :

Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last?
So, release the Epstein Files.

(Delivered by Army lawyer Joseph Welch during the 1954 Army-McCarthy hearings, as a response to McCarthy's reckless and cruel accusation against a young lawyer in Welch's firm)

Bit late in Australia..but wow you nailed this letter.
Surely you must be reaching those we need you to reach & be bending that arc. So, so grateful to you.

You should plan for more time off than you do, pace yourself. "Same shit different day" would be a reasonable Letter for a week or so. Or get an apprentice.

I hope someone is recording everything this "President" and his administration are doing outside of what would be considered reasonable.
- For history, and for accountability. I guess a lot of books will be written, not for those who have suffered under this but to enlighten future generations.

Joyce Vance's new book out last week predicted this. No lawyers, no accountability.
She also suggests what people should do to counter this admins behaviour, it's short book that doesn't pull punches. She also narrates it on your favourite platform owned by some conflicted WaPo dude.

All media & individuals get opportunities to be on the right side of history. We all must take a position & give it everything. All media is biased - stop pretending otherwise.
This moment in history, people will one day wonder why NYT didn't give it the full front page treatment.

She's whip smart like a person who has studied a horse race & knows everything about the horses form, could write a book about it. And yet, ignores all of the more favoured horses, putting her money on the sad horse who finishes last.
There are people out there who just can't abide accepted reality.

In Australia, the British based "The Economist", is up to 3x that cost and worth every cent. The weekly read-aloud edition, podcasts and videos treat me like a thinking adult. That's all I ask.

Iove you Harry but imho...
The question is moot, democracy saving playbook desperately required. Democrats have cards in their hands right now. See Bill Kristol's posts

I know it's a big depressing ask but I hope you and Susan are writing volume II of this debacle. A mighty long list of stuff (and context) that will probably go to 3 volumes. Someone needs to do this. This history needs recording.

In British politics, as soon as the media sniffs a weakness, there's a pile-on.
Might take a little longer but the administration (Miller etc) knows their time is running out, they'll never admit it - but just check their blood pressure.

Congressional Rs thinking "what can/could I do?, they'd just bulldoze me".
You know what you can do, as others have done..stand up be f*cking counted.

Older Australian - it was & is still seen as affectionate greeting & is only used among people you know.
Likewise all insults.
What we are most proud of is our egalitarianism and intolerance of liars. That always before patriotism - which unfortunately is gaining ground in a rather unsavoury way.
