I follow the balls and strikes approach because there is plenty of factually accurate "Trump is awful" coverage out there. There sure is a need for it and sometimes I do it, but people tune out from folks who are one note I am afraid.

Ramaswamy called to restrict birthright immigration and for mass deportations, somehow never imagining the impulses underlying those policies might be turned against *him.*

Worst ever? This Senate is a non-stop, multiple-choice horror show, from dangerous appointees to health care failures to dereliction of its constitutional duties. I talk with Senate expert @irashapiro.bsky.social about its betrayals in my latest at @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/worst-sena...

A considerable number of college students are less comfortable sharing their opinions on controversial topics these days. That’s the wrong direction. From David Mastio:

This is such horseshit. There was no secret about who Trump was, how nuts he is, what he wanted, how dangerous he is. This is just blaming the media for the problem that the voters just didn’t care.

George W. Bush never could figure out how to do the day-after stuff in Iraq, but the Trump administration is led by a famously patient executive and filled with all the most competent folks in the world.

Here's my statement for Cato about Trump's pardon of former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández @cato.org /1

"The American Revolution" is an antidote to the nihilistic nastiness coming out of today's Cabinet meeting, and the end of my piece on this 12-hour documentary suggests why: "We are now what we have been all along — diverse, and the better for it." jilllawrence.substack.com/p/american-r...

I love Costco and will continue to shop there more than ever.

It is really amazing to see all these people suddenly so sensitive to the signs of mental decline in our president.

This is a reasonable question.

Over @kansascity.com, my short contribution to the “what i am thankful for” roundtable.

This is by far the best piece I've read on MTG's metamorphosis. Sharing it after reading another dumb take claiming that she's motivated by nothing other than cynicism and ambition. She's ambitious, yes, and crazy. But something has genuinely happened, too. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

My Thanksgiving crow-eating column is the second most read thing across McClatchy's news sites after a story about Miss Universe in Spanish. Maybe this should become an annual thing. www.kansascity.com/opinion/arti...

Every Trump Administration quote to mainstream media outlets is reminiscent of the "to the pain" scene from THE PRINCESS BRIDE. "I'll explain, but I'll use small words so that you understand, you warthog-faced buffoon." Probably serves a similar purpose. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUJc...

I hate to admit it, but my "Why I am thankful for Donald Trump" column last Thanksgiving was kind of a Turkey. This year I eat crow. www.kansascity.com/opinion/arti...

I don't know. It is perhaps more important to readers than most of the sturm and drang that gets comment in Washington. I know I would be happier with paper towels. Those hand dryers spray germs everywhere.
