Who would have guessed that the legal system in America was so fragile that a single crazy president could ignore the whole thing, from the Constitution right down to state laws? Why does the Supreme Court and Congress let this demented moron act like the dictator of a banana republic?

Trump says he wonβt sign any other bills until the SAVE Act is passed, which requires voters to show proof of citizenship with expensive documents like passports. Reminder: noncitizen voting is already illegal and incredibly rare. This is about voter suppression, plain and simple.

Wars can be started unilaterally as we are witnessing, but it takes both sides to stop them. Could somebody explain that to the US President.

Today the United States wasted another

on an illegal war in Iran, money that could have been spent on funding health care or providing SNAP benefits or cancer research or academic scholarships for minorities. I could go on and on but I think you get my point.

A spokesperson for Tony Blair said his remarks at a Jewish News event in the US were for private not public consumption. Which is exactly why voters get pissed off - saying one thing in private and quite another in public.

Even if you are 100% convinced that Democracy is already dead and our votes won't count... PLEASE VOTE ANYWAY! I'm begging everyone. There is a critical mass of voter turnout that will be too big to fix. Please vote, no matter how bleak it seems.

When I first started out as a journalist I thought it paid to have a background in US history when covering America. Then I thought it would probably be better to be a constitutional lawyer with expertise in jurisprudence. Now I think it would be useful to be a psychiatrist.

Don't listen to or believe any polls. Vote early. Get your friends to vote early. Cause SCOTUS is going to be up to some bullshit.

I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party. This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.

Among the "spectacular results" claimed by Trump for his now sacked chief of Homeland Security were the murder of two innocent civilians and the hollowing out of the agency charged with tackling emergencies.
