'Burn In The USA'
I believe the United States is becoming a myth beyond redemption. The USA is a country very much at war with itself; it has been for some time. We have never made an honest accounting of our original sins. We have never paid reparations to the men and women who built this country and toiled in its fertile fields as enslaved people.
The age of Trump has become the age of taking
John F. Kennedy was 43 years old when he took the oath of office, and delivered an extraordinary inaugural address. The moment represented generational change. Kennedy had been a PT boat skipper and wounded combat veteran from the Pacific theater of the Second World War. His older brother was killed in combat over the skies of Europe. He was accepting the torch of leadership from the Allied Supreme Commander Dwight Eisenhower, who was leaving the presidency after two terms.
A democracy does not murder refugees
There is an unfortunate reluctance on behalf of many political reporters to ask questions that are abstract or hypothetical in nature.

Liz Cheney's diagnosis of the Republican Party
Liz Cheney couldnât have been more right about two things. Firstly, the election of âidiotsâ is destabilizing the country, and secondly, this isnât a partisan phenomenon.

She wasnât going for a cheap line or laugh. She was delivering a dead-on sober assessment around an obvious fact when the system is blinking red.
