Join the cult, get free Kool-Aid. Disclaimer: The Kool-Aid isn't really free. Representative Mark Sanford was hit by an air strike, and kinda-sorta literally. Direct from Air Force One on his return home from his Singapore photo-op with dictators and saluting North Korean generals, Donald Trump bombed the South Carolina Republican's re-election bid. With about... Continue Reading →
Come to Sandals on the beautiful coastline of North Korea. There's no Wi-Fi. You will be closely monitored and tailed by government officials at all times. You will not be allowed to leave the resort or talk to the locals. If you touch anything, you may be relocated permanently to a different kind of resort.... Continue Reading →
The summit in Singapore between Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un was truly historic. It was the first time an American president legitimized the dictatorial regime of North Korea. Atlantic writer Jeffrey Goldberg has been searching out the Trump doctrine on foreign policy. After talking to administration officials over several weeks, he finally got one... Continue Reading →
Donald Trump attended the G7 Summit against his will. He didn't want to go, probably because he had spent the week insulting our allies while lobbying for Vladimir Putin. Trump arrived late to the summit and he left early. He agreed to a communiqué (which is a big word for Trump) by the allies but... Continue Reading →
Senator Jeff Merkley, a Democrat from Oregon, visited a detention center in Texas last week and described the facility.

I can disagree with Trump about the president having the legal power to pardon himself, and you could rightfully point out that I'm... Continue Reading →
On September 11, 2001, my mother called me freaking out and afraid that terrorists were going to fly airplanes into my apartment. I live 50 miles from the Pentagon, but for mom, that was still too close. She passed away in 2002 but would have lost her mind if she had seen the events of... Continue Reading →
