It would all be swell and good, but Americans (including Republicans) believe that Trump has the wrong priorities. According to the results of the AP-Norc Poll, 4 out of 10 Americans believe that Trump has been a “terrible” president so far, another tenth of respondents believe that he has been a “weak” president, another 2 […]

In unity, there’s strength to confront Trump. In disunity, cowardice. Why didn’t the nation’s top 20 law firms sign a friend-of-the-court brief against Trump’s vindictive executive orders? What their associates, coming associates, and law school deans ought to do. Let me first congratulate the 504 law firms that have thrown their support behind Perkins Coie […]

Trump wants to get it over early in his term, so he and his fellow billionaires can buy up everything cheap and then enjoy the ride upward. What’s really going on with the economy? I believe Trump and his billionaire buddies — the American oligarchy — have a plan. But before I get to it, […]

In many ways this was another horrific week. Like a terrible hurricane, the Trump dictatorship is sweeping more people into its maw while further destroying our public institutions and wrecking what’s left of our civil norms. Yet this week also featured 11 reasons for modest optimism: 1. Wisconsin Supreme Court vote Despite Elon Musk’s hysterical […]

The past week has been another horror show, and I share your anxiety and sleeplessness. But the past week also reveals the utter incompetence of Trump and his regime. Even The Wall Street Journal criticized Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for trying to dismiss “Signalgate” as a hoax, calls Trump negotiator Steve Witkoff “out of his […]

I’m not going to sugarcoat this. We’re in the worst national emergency of our lives. It is not coming directly from threats we should be coping with — climate change destroying our planet, another pandemic threatening millions of lives, artificial intelligence taking over our jobs and brains, nuclear proliferation threatening the future of life on […]

US President Donald Trump received consent from both of them to a partial ceasefire during two telephone conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin (March 18) and current Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky (March 19). Moscow and Kiev basically agreed to a ban on attacks on “energy facilities”. Putin said that he had given the order for […]

On Sunday, two close associates of US President Donald Trump — his special representative for the Middle East Stephen Witkoff, who just returned from Moscow, and his national security adviser Mike Waltz — on top US programs slightly lifted the curtain on the Moscow-Washington talks on the Ukrainian conflict, which are currently taking place in […]

We are following the fate of the American idea of a 30-day truce for Ukraine. On March 11 in Jeddah, US representatives managed to wring consent from Zelensky’s envoys under pressure. On March 13, Washington’s special representative Steven Witkoff discussed the Russian position, later made public by President Vladimir Putin. This position has become a […]

What exactly is going on? Who is teaching whom? Same idiotic costumes, same rude behavior, same self-righteousness bordering on Chutzpah. Why all these antics during Trump’s address? Yes, Trump is prone to some obnoxious mannerisms. Fine. He obviously has more than that if he came to White House second time around. What exactly is he […]
