I'd believe the death notices for MAGA if they weren't all announced by Democrats who want the demise actually to occur. Wishcasting is unpersuasive.

I keep wondering about this question: if Kamala Harris had won last year, what would have been her top policy agenda? What would she have pushed Congress to do? What’s the first thing a Democratic president would do in 2029? What am I missing?

Decades from now, when people recall the Trump presidency, I hope they will think about the time he threatened Democratic lawmakers with execution for urging compliance with the laws of war.

The House Oversight report is wildly overstated. The pardons can’t be overturned, and no one in the White House committed a crime. But the picture of the Biden White House is not an attractive one, as I discussed with Anderson Cooper on CNN.
