Trump Has Completely Wrecked America's Brand
In Canada, crossing over to America is not just taboo now — it’s a kind of betrayal, even borderline treasonous.

such an embarrassing country to live in.
Adolf Hitler's “Mein Kampf” is still on U.S. Naval Academy shelves. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and “Memorializing the Holocaust” are not.
An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office led to a purge of books that are critical of racism — but preserved volumes defending white power.

When I got a PhD in nineteenth-century political history, I really, truly never imagined I would have to find a way to explain to readers what an eggplant emoji means. (Wired reported more Signalgate Venmo accounts.) I yearn for the day when I can write about good, clean fun like tax policy again.

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

Agreed. #JohnRoberts is one of the architects (along with Murdoch, Putin, Trump and McConnell) of the dismantling of American democracy. This comment is way too little and way too late.
congratulations to john roberts who is as responsible for the current state of affairs as any single person in the country
NEW STATEMENT FROM CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS:
"For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose."
