Ian Millhiser says it doesn’t give us a way to get rid of bad presidents. Impeachment? No. He calls that “a paper tiger”: There should be a way to remove a criminal president from office, but the impeachment power ain’t it. The power of impeachment is a paper tiger, largely unused throughout American history, and…

If nothing matters but power, Trump can do no wrong.

Below is the Times’ Maggie Haberman. She tweeted this yesterday. She’s defending an earlier tweet (see the screenshot) in which she agreed with her Times colleague Adam Goldman that yesterday’s Mueller hearing didn’t reveal anything new and therefore had very little worth paying attention to. Fact: Mueller said Trump could be charged with crimes after…

GOP says if Mueller doesn’t have anything new, Trump’s in the clear. That’s nonsense. Did the Dems wait too long? I don’t think…

Never-Trumpers are paving the way for a revival of liberalism.

Tim Wise wrote this Twitter thread over the weekend. It influenced today’s edition of the Editorial Board. He related his experience campaigning against David Duke’s bid for Louisiana governor. He said the key was treating Duke as a threat to democracy, not as anything close to a normal candidate. Not long after Trump took office,…

Nobel winner Nadia Murad of Iraq tried explaining how and why ISIS murdered her family. This was the president’s face during that discussion. (I know; it’s hard to believe.) Who can come up with the best thought bubble? The winner gets a special citation in Monday’s edition! And while you’re here, consider giving the Editorial…

My theory is that children are the final frontier of human rights, and I’m thinking this because so many Americans don’t seem to give a good goddamn about what’s happening to children at the border or about the former child victims now seeking justice as Jeffrey Epstein’s adult accusers.
