  • Infrastructure plan won’t help most

    Tuesday, June 20, 2017 11:04 AM
    AT A ROUND-TABLE discussion with state transportation officials last Friday, Donald Trump said America’s aging roads, bridges, railways and water systems were being scoffed at and laughed at. He vowed that they will once again be the envy of the world.
    This seems to be a core theme for Trump: America’s greatness depends on others envying us rather than scoffing and laughing at us.

  • Trump looks like an authoritarian

    Tuesday, May 9, 2017 11:44 AM
    MORE THAN 100 days into his presidency, it seems fair to ask: What is Donald Trump’s governing philosophy?

    WHAT’S THE DONALD “Trump Doctrine” of foreign policy? At first glance, foreign policy under Trump seems inconsistent, arbitrary and devoid of principle.
    A few weeks ago, even before the airstrike on Syria, White House Communications Director Mike Dubke told Trump’s assembled aides that international affairs presented a messaging challenge because the Trump administration lacks a coherent foreign policy. “There is no Trump doctrine,” reportedly declared

  • Trump cranks up the fog machine

    Nothing remotely as serious has ever occurred in

    Tuesday, March 28, 2017 11:14 AM

  • Trumps starts war on courts

    Tuesday, February 28, 2017 11:29 AM
    WITH CONGRESSIONAL REPUBLICANS in the majority in Congress and unwilling to cross Donald Trump, the job of containing Trump’s incipient tyranny falls to the three remaining centers of independent power: the nation’s courts, its press and a few state governments.

  • Trump, press not on same page

    Wednesday, February 1, 2017 8:11 AM
