Trump has brought impunity to the highest office in the land, wielding a wrecking ball to the most precious windowpane of all—American democracy.

There are twelve similar projects being planned along the East Coast.

Big money is threatening the Democratic party by saying that major campaign donations are dependent on “a friendlier attitude toward the banks.” This just shows what little respect banks actually have.

Venezuela, a country with only $10 billion left in reserves to run on, is in trouble.

It's far below the level of progressivity the United States embraced in the middle of the 20th century—when wealthier individuals paid a much higher share of their income in taxes than the poor.

The Democrats aren’t going after the real issues. They’re looking for something else – the Democratic establishment.

The opposite of courage is not cowardice, it's conformity. And, boy, America's Republican leadership is conforming like a pack of lemmings.

Imagine an opposition political party in a land being taken over by an oligarchy, headed by a would-be tyrant.

The FBI has a long history of secrecy and oppression, which those fighting for justice and democracy should never forget.

About government I doubt Trump knows what he doesn’t know or even what he believes in, if anything. If it becomes clear that Trump doesn’t know what he doesn’t know, how will undecideds begin to imagine his presidency? That double negative leaves Trumpism high and dry. The Trump circus could well achieve what few observers thought possible: make Hillary Clinton appear more trustworthy, if not presidential. Trump craziness, augmented by serial campaign malpractice, has managed to spotlight a suspect, compromised Democrat as more acceptable than she deserves On such matters elections are decided.
