I wrapped up season one of American Times in October of 2020…so it’s been over 4 years, but with recent developments I’m thinking it’s time for a season two. Here’s the conclusion episode of season one. Who should I interview in season two?

Of course Trump is confused. The Supreme Court told everyone that the Constitution doesn’t apply to him and he can break laws without consequence if he feels like it. They effectively rewrote the Constitution just for him. More than once! Why would he expect the law to suddenly matter for tariffs?

“Trump has been receiving briefings on military options, which include targeting top Iranian officials with the aim of overthrowing the government as well.” What could possibly go wrong?

Joanne Bland passed away today. She was just was 11 when she marched in Selma on March 7, 1965, known today as "Bloody Sunday." Joanne led my students on a number of tours of Selma. I usually just sat back and watched her go. She was a remarkable woman, who will be dearly missed.

My theory of the moment: The extraordinary courage of ordinary people in places like Minneapolis is reawakening us to our social and economic ties to immigrants. It's making "love thy neighbor" cool again. That's the ultimate antidote to MAGA hate. Thoughts on this:

suggested that Mackenzie Bezos buy the post from her ex and restore it to what it once was and that sounds like an idea worth exploring to me. Clearly Jeff doesn't want it anymore.

Whether it's Donald Trump taking bribes from terror-sponsoring foreign governments, Donald Trump plotting to rig the 2026 election, or Donald Trump posting a video of the Obamas as apes, both parties must do better.

"This was not the first time Ms. Britt had been disturbed by something she heard about the second Trump administration." "disturbed" is the new Susan Collins "disappointed" You can, you know, do something. There's this part of the Constitution called Article I.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”
