4 lessons from 9 years of being ‘Never Trump’
I’ve been wrong about many things, but here are two of the bigger whiffs of my professional life.
Democrats strategize to block Trump from taking Oval Office
Hypocritical Democrats are quietly girding and strategizing for a post-election court fight to block Donald Trump from taking office and refusing to fully commit to certifying the election in the event of a Republican win.
Kamala Harris came out strong Wednesday night in her CNN town hall with Anderson Cooper and an audience of undecided voters in Pennsylvania’s Delaware County. She began by citing the testimony of Donald Trump’s former chief of staff, John Kelly, along with his national security advisers, his secretaries of defense, his chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and his vice president — all of whom have spoken of his unfitness to serve as president.
What Lincoln can tell us about MAGA
Something is clearly happening with Donald Trump. Even a year ago, I don’t think he would have begun a rally with 12 minutes of rambling remarks about late golfer Arnold Palmer, concluding with a discussion of the size of Palmer’s penis.
We have extreme inequality in America, and it’s getting worse
Bloomberg recently reported that Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg is now worth over $200 billion. He’s not alone. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, Tesla founder Elon Musk, and LVMH founder Bernard Arnault are also worth north of $200 billion.

Vegan meals should be standard in hospitals — Here’s why
Vegan food is medicine. But during a recent hospital stay, I saw an absurd number of animal-derived foods on the menu: greasy cheese, cholesterol-laden meat, fatty dairy milk. It made about as much sense as a mechanic pouring tallow into an engine.

Ticking down — The states take aim at TikTok
Last week, 14 state attorneys general, including New York AG Tish James, sued the social media platform TikTok for allegedly damaging young users’ mental health and collecting information about them with its service in violation of state and federal laws.
Hey, big spenders — Trump’s plans bust the federal budget
The Republican Party is the party of fiscal responsibility? It’s been a laughable idea ever since presidents like Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush have pushed massive, unpaid-for, deficit-ballooning tax cuts skewed to deliver the biggest benefits to the wealthiest among us.
We may face another ‘too big to fail’ scenario as AI labs go unchecked
In the span of two or so years, OpenAI, Nvidia and a handful of other companies essential to the development of artificial intelligence have become economic behemoths. Their valuations and stock prices have soared. Their products have become essential to Fortune 500 companies. Their business plans are the focus of the national security industry. Their collapse would be, well, unacceptable. They are too big to fail.
If the pro-life movement loses this one, its future is in danger
I’ll never forget the first time I heard my oldest daughter’s heartbeat. My wife was experiencing trouble in the first three months of pregnancy, and we were worried she was miscarrying. We rode together to her doctor’s office, full of anxiety. And then we heard the magical sound — the pulsing of our little girl’s tiny heart. We didn’t know if she would ultimately be OK, but there was one thing we knew: Our daughter was alive.
