CEOs who style themselves as philosopher-kings building God have instead become something much more mundane: real estate developers who need a lot of fossil fuels. It’s no wonder that Trump likes them so much. trib.al/s1UbRy6

The Republican Party in particular must finally loose the chains of its political and moral enslavement to Donald Trump and separate itself from the MAGA political party cult. The writing is already on the wall, Republicans. trib.al/MCKHSTS

The Trump-burdened GOP is suddenly playing defense in states they’ve barely had to for years. The reason: Some fighting Democrats have arrived on the scene. trib.al/VGWkIka
