    With respect to my friend , I think this is why (for now) I understand why NYT author didn’t use a name. GOP Congress would probably react by demanding the author be arrested. Hell of a risk that would drown out the message. But I think the author should come out soon.

    Replying to @RadioFreeTom @CNN
    If you ever think Congressional Republicans will wake up and do the right thing just remember that someone like Graham, who gave some of the gravest warnings about Trump, is now not only willing to let the whole thing burn down but cover for Trump as he does it.

    BREAKING: 25th Amendment doesn’t REMOVE a president; it only SIDELINES the president 21 days at a time. See pp 221-31 of our book. That could suffice, but it’s vital to be clear. .

    A cowardly coup, me in on *that* NYT op-ed

    "If the president’s closest advisers believe that he is morally and intellectually unfit for his high office, they have a duty to do their utmost to remove him from it, by the lawful means at hand," writes

    His denials of his Sessions comments aren’t remotely credible. Multiple former senior officials who’ve heard similar versions of them first hand have recounted them to me.

    Trump just claimed he's never insulted anyone as "retarded." He's done it at least twice *on the radio*:

    You succeeded. It's heart-rending

    So much was lost in Brazil's devastating museum fire--irreplaceable fossils, now-fully-dead languages, artifacts, careers, knowledge. It's hard to put the loss into words, but I tried:
