It will be really, really sad if desperate Americans vote for Trump because of the cost of living and then he actually follows through on brutal, across the board tariffs that will send prices soaring…

Government prohibition is just bad policy here. And on top of all this harm it causes prohibition is not effective at reducing or eliminating abortion. Throw it on the trash heap of the drug war. Unfortunately, a lot of people are going to suffer before we do that.

In this post, I explain why Trump's gains among Hispanic and Muslim voters should not lead courts to give him pass for policies with unconstitutional discriminatory motivations: reason.com/volokh/2024/11…

This is Trump's pick for Secretary of Defense, Peter Hegseth. Truly beyond parody.

Whew.

Is this his 1st wife? Or the woman w whom he cheated on his 1st wife? Or his 2nd wife? Or the woman w whom he cheated on his 2nd wife & had a child while married to the 2nd wife? Or his 3rd wife, who is the woman w whom he cheated & had a child while married to the 2nd wife?

the worst cabinet pick SO FAR

But Gorsuch! And now women can die from sepsis and be forced to carry their rapists pregnancy to term so Ed Whelan is going to let this one slide.

Extremely excited to see the GOP pundits who have to be like "Yes, of course Gaetz is a bad pick, but you have to remember that one time the DOJ tried to prosecute a Republican for doing crimes, so what should we expect?"

I hope he sticks to this - entirely correct - view. But I have doubts he will be willing to defy Trump.

So, just another day for the Democrats?

Anti-anti-Trumpers: There is no way Matt Gaetz or these crazy picks are going to be confirmed. The Republican Senate: 👇

It’s almost as if Ed has not been paying attention at all. To anything.

I would have no shame at all in laughing hysterically in these people’s faces. Americans deserve what they will get from Trump.

After bitter experience with Crown prosecutors and admiralty courts, the Founders devoted HALF the Bill of Rights to interposing a citizen jury between criminal defendants and a sometimes malignant, unhinged, and/or vengeful govt. And you know what we did with that genius design?

Gaetz is no head fake, clay pigeon, or troll. The nomination is dead serious.

Speaker Johnson promised MTG today that we won’t be sending any additional support to Ukraine. And just like that, Putin wins.

But wait? I heard it was 3-D chess! Or that he is not really going to do the things he’s says he will and wants to do! So, checkmate I guess.

As I point out in my column, one of the themes of Trump's campaign was the need to ditch identity politics and make decisions based on merit (a position I agree with, in principle). Well, if Gaetz and Gabbard are his ideas of merit, then, hell, bring back DEI.

Making the move to where the sky is blue. Seems like it does have legs.
