The weirdest part about the GOP selling out EVERYTHING to show solidarity with Trump is that he’s 74 years old & at least 55% of voters DEEPLY hate him. What exactly is the payoff here? It’s like NFL team giving up 3 number 1 draft picks for an injured 35 year old running back.

Sen. Cotton represents the worst of the GOP: anti-civil liberties; pro-militarism; admires Trump.

Kevin McCarthy voted for the Patriot Act (multiple times), FISA 702 (multiple times), and every dystopian surveillance bill that has ever made it to the House floor. I’m delighted to learn of his newfound concern for people’s privacy and the dangers of the surveillance state.

Stanley Weiss, RIP. Founder of Business Executives for National Security, Stanley promoted a rational approach to foreign affairs convincing business executives that the Pentagon was a bureaucracy, like any other. And that war is bad for business.

Looking forward to Lebron weighing in to explain that Kanter clearly doesn't understand the complexity of Tibetan politics

The world is a lesser place with the passing of Patrick Jake O’Rourke. P.J., in the tradition of great American humorists like Samuel Clemens and H.L. Mencken, was a leading light of the libertarian movement. We solved many of the world’s problems over cocktails at Cato events.

Harold Ford, Jr. is precisely the kind of traditional liberal the Dems desperately need. Like Gene McCarthy and Nat Hentoff, smart, knowledgeable, civil libertarian, pro-free market, disdains so-called progressives.

Sad to report Pat passed away yesterday.  Had lunch with him Wednesday.  He was a true hero of the revolution taking constant abuse from lesser academics for speaking the truth about so-called global warming.  A very good friend is gone.  Kent will send us updates. Ed

Spare me the Dems hand-wringing over Trump running for president. As in please boss, don’t throw me in that briar patch!

That Kevin McCarthy is even being considered for Speaker says all you need to know about the feckless GOP. To quote Rep. Matt Gaetz, “Kevin is not bridled by too many policy views. His organizing principle is ambition.”

Washington Commanders didn’t fool the fans — we knew the franchise sucked. The fool here is the D.C. attorney general.

Blind leading the blind. Newt says “no practical alternative” to McCarthy as Speaker. Please. Last thing GOP needs is a Trump lap dog.

Brittney Griner is free from Russian jails which is great. Now let’s free all those in U.S. jails for non-violent “war on drugs” offenses.

Paul Ehrlich has a long history of failed predictions. In 1970 he said that "if I were a gambler, I would take even money that England will not exist in the year 2000." So why does the media keep taking him seriously? Our editor explains: wsj.com/articles/why-i…
