“If you’re the president of the United States, you can declassify just by saying, ‘It’s declassified,’ even by thinking about it because you’re sending it to #MarALago or wherever you’re sending it. And there doesn’t have to be a process.” -- #Trump on Fox News, yesterday

No intelligence body on the planet would gladly grant top-secret access to a person like Donald Trump. He is the living embodiment of an easily compromised individual, a walking blackmail target with debts on his debts. #NuclearSecrets truthout.org/articles/trump…

Donald Trump has caught yet another break. He will get to dig in behind his plans to run for president again, and will use these legal maneuvers as fundraising tools even as he slathers himself in martyrdom. #SpecialMaster truthout.org/articles/trump…

The country needs a speech in the vein of Dwight Eisenhower’s farewell address, when he warned us about the growing power of the military-industrial complex. We did not heed that warning, and have been steeped in woe ever since. #Antifa #BidenSpeech truthout.org/articles/what-…

@drewmagary My favorite part of this piece is that you had to wait 20 years to write it. I mean that with awed sincerity; I knew the day was coming, but feared your simmering angst would devour you before The Day was at hand. WYTS makes football better. Thank you.

Trump’s legal plight is becoming grimmer by the day, and a growing number of his political allies are openly beginning to wonder if he is worth the bother. #DonaldTrump #Enron truthout.org/articles/an-en…

That which makes us weak as a country was exposed by the virus. Rather than rise to the moment, we were scrambled like eggs by people who are very good at co-opting the conversation to thwart the idea of progress or collective action. #CovidIsNotOver truthout.org/articles/when-…

If this small fraction of a man confronts consequences thanks to an Enron-inspired law, I might lose my natural mind. My first book was half about Enron and GOP corruption. Wouldn't it be something if my last book was about the same thing. tinyurl.com/yv8uztr3

Too many people from previous generations enjoyed privileges afforded by things like the G.I. bill and properly funded public schools, climbed to the top of the ladder, and then pulled the ladder up behind them. #DebtRelief truthout.org/articles/mitch…

Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson once compared the behavior of much of the national press corps to a wheeling flock of birds. #ClimateCrisis #newsmedia truthout.org/articles/mains…

All of a sudden, and with everything else piling up like a million-car crash, the vicious reality of campaign finance laws have forced themselves to the top of the priorities list once again. #BarreSeid #LeonardLeo #FederalistSociety truthout.org/articles/myste…
