I’m finally back in the States after eleven days in Great Britain, a trip that brought me from London to Cambridge to the Hay Festival in Wales to Edinburgh, Scotland, and back to London again. I had a chance to speak to a fair number of journalists, college students, authors, and politicians, as well as a cross-section of people in Great Britain who are just as concerned about their government as...

Today’s episode was one of those where every single story serves as a reminder of who the Trump regime really is—and what happens when power is handed to people who see cruelty as policy, incompetence as strategy, and fear as a campaign platform. We cover everything from the Supreme Court siding with bigotry to the weaponization of prisons, the collapse of overdose prevention programs, and the act...

Welcome to the Fight There’s an old, overused saying that there are “two kinds of people in the world,” and while real life is never that simple, I do think that framing helps us understand this moment. On one side, we have those who helped Donald Trump rise to power and now double down, defending his regime no matter how far it goes. On the other, we’re seeing people—some with massive platforms—w...

I made this video shortly after the catastrophic display put on by Donald Trump and JD Vance in the Oval Office on Friday during their meeting with President Volodomyr Zelensky of Ukraine. I was a bit heated at the time and in the moment forgot to mention some of the other entities that are to blame for why we as a country find ourselves in this diminished state. There is, of course, the corporate...

I had a comprehensive, wide-ranging, and fascinating with Alex Vindman on Substack Live Thursday evening (the night before the Oval Office catastrophe, about which more later) to talk about his essential new book, The Folly of Realism: How the West Deceived Itself about Russia and Betrayed Ukraine . Given everything that’s going on, I found this conversation extremely helpful in getting my bearing...

[Transcript edited for flow and clarity.] Hey everybody. I was working on my post for tonight and then I thought that making a video to catch us up might be a better idea. As you know, I read all of your comments, and I read all of your emails, far too many to respond to, but it's very important to me to know what you're thinking and how you're responding to what's going in the world and to what I...

First, an explanation. A few months ago—even before the election—I hit a wall. And I knew I’d hit it. But I kept going, because where is there to stop? How could I stop? So, as is often the case, while I was urging everybody else to take time, to tap out if necessary, to breathe, I was doing none of those things. A few weeks ago, I got out of the city in the hopes of resetting, but the work came w...

The new Trump regime, now in its fourth week of destruction, has unleashed more onslaughts on the rights of Americans, government agencies, and the rule of law. But at least we had the Super Bowl to make us feel better about everything, right? Not to be overshadowed, Donald flooded the airwaves with two pregame interviews—one taped for Fox and the second live from Air Force One. From there, in the...

Two weeks into Donald’s second term, while a demented old man plays emperor, Elon Musk—who has no authority, no votes, no confirmation—has effectively taken control of the U.S. Treasury. Four years ago, in the lead-up to the 2020 election, I and many others warned that American democracy was on a knife’s edge. I also said that if Donald ever returned to power, it would mark the end of the American...

My apologies for the light posting this week but, unlike my first two books, I’ve actually been doing book events in person at actual physical locations, which has been pretty exciting. I appeared at the 92nd Street Y in New York, an iconic venue in Manhattan, and my friend Judy Gold moderated our conversation. I visited Politics and Prose in D.C., joined by my friend and fellow Nerd Avenger Jen T...
