Calling something “illegal” only matters if the law is actually enforced. Mike Johnson and the Supreme Court need to enforce it. No president should be free to ignore the law to punish enemies, reward allies, and enrich himself.

I found watching Trump’s UN speech today deeply depressing. It is a matter of national shame and humiliation that he is our president. Every country in the world, friend and foe alike, sees we are governed by a vainglorious fool.

No one seriously argues that chemists should be spending their time refuting people who believe in phlogiston. The people saying we need to debate the race science charlatans believe race science is legitimate enough to be part of academic discourse, but are unwilling to admit it openly.

The problem with Citizens United is that it allows wealthy people to influence elections unduly through spending. The problem is not that some of those people might be dual citizens. This is just braindead nativism.

From Thomas Massie: “They should rename it Dual-Citizens United after Israeli Miriam Adelson spent her millions to beat me.”

The Meloni-Frederiksen letter enters into essentialist, racist and even antisemitic waters. Europe's heritage includes Islam, at the very least in Spain and Portugal, and Judaism (notably in Easter Europe) which are at odds with this statement.

“We both recognise Europe’s Christian cultural heritage and wish to protect it. We expect people who come to our countries and wish to make Europe their home to respect European values and not to impose on us a way of life that we do not want.”

Why do you have "incalculable gratitude" for your McCarthyist oppressors, Ross? Did the blacklisted Hollywood Ten express gratitude to the studios and the people who named names? This puts a lie to Douthat's whole thing (and to Bari Weiss' thing while we're at it). 10/x

Instead, I’ll express — along with incalculable gratitude to The Times itself, my colleagues and editors — a hope that I have contributed illumination. I hope my writing has added something to your understanding of America’s complexity, the world’s uncertain future and the strangeness of our times.
