Trump’s first criminal trial — the first criminal trial of a former president, ever — begins today, Monday, April 15. The 34-count business falsification case may be the only case against Trump to reach a verdict before the November election.

Many people I speak with are worried that this is the weakest of Trump’s four pending criminal ...Read more

I have this recurring fantasy that Trump will disappear, forever.

Today’s total solar eclipse isn’t a perfect analogy because Trump doesn’t shine like the sun, and the moon will block the sun only temporarily today.

But for a few blissful minutes, anyone who happens to be in the path of today’s eclipse will experience an elation more ...Read more

On Friday, Trump posted a video featuring an image of President Biden hog-tied — with hands and feet bound together.

Trump has previously posted doctored photos and videos depicting him physically attacking Biden, such as hitting Mr. Biden with golf balls.

It’s all part of Trump’s 5-step fascist plan.

In a previous column, I laid out ...Read more

The 2024 general election is now underway.

Like most of you, I’ve found myself immersed in many conversations about the threat to our nation — and the world — posed by Donald Trump.

Just to be clear, I’m not talking about conversations with Trump supporters. I’m referring to conversations with people who are fully aware of the damage...Read more

One of my goals in this column is to give you the facts and analysis you need to make informed decisions, especially political ones — and equip you to spread the word to others. So here goes on social security.

During a typically rambling and incoherent interview last week, Trump admitted he would cut Social Security and Medicare if reelected...Read more

I chose the word nauseous over cautious because my stomach is churning at the very possibility Trump could get a second term. But I don’t believe that will happen. The progressive forces in America are overtaking the regressive.

I’m not paying attention to polls. It’s way too early to worry about them. Most of the public hasn’t even ...Read more

Nikki Haley won the Republican primary in Washington, D.C., yesterday, with about 63% of the vote to Donald Trump’s 33%, securing all 19 available delegates, and becoming the first woman to ever win a Republican presidential primary.

To be sure, the contest was tiny: Just over 2,000 Republicans voted in the overwhelmingly Democratic city of ...Read more

Don’t fall for the media hoopla. In fact, Donald Trump is doing extraordinarily poorly in the Republican primaries and caucuses.

In Saturday’s South Carolina Republican primary, he pulled in just 59.8% of the vote. Nikki Haley got 39.5%.

If Joe Biden had gotten less than 60% of the vote in a Democratic primary, the mainstream media would ...Read more

Days before Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny died in prison, Tucker Carlson gushed over Vladimir Putin, saying, “Leadership requires killing people.”

Well, I’m sorry, Tucker. You’re wrong.

Real leadership is the opposite of thuggery. The world’s greatest leaders help their societies deal with their hardest problems. They ...Read more

The mainstream media doesn’t seem to want to talk about this, but it’s important that America and the world face what seems increasingly clear: Vladimir Putin’s best friend in the world — the person prepared to allow Putin to mount additional wars of aggression in Europe — is the leading Republican contender for president of the United...Read more

Several people have asked me why I spend so much time and energy on this column, which is read mainly (if not exclusively) by people who already share my views and values.

“Why are you preaching to the choir?” you ask. “Wouldn’t your efforts be more useful if you tried to convince people who aren’t already convinced?”

I doubt I’d...Read more

The 2024 election is 280 days away. How can we survive until then? How can we help America survive beyond it?

Many of you tell me that you’re already filled with outrage. I am, too.

Trump is still not locked up, although he incited an attack on the U.S. Capitol more than three years ago, which resulted in several deaths and could have cost ...Read more

I apologize for the length of this column, but the subject warrants it. Donald Trump has galvanized an army of vigilantes who are casting a fearsome shadow over the 2024 election. Please spread the word.

It’s impossible to know how large this potential army is, but last October, 41% of pro-Trump Americans agreed with the statement that “...Read more
