Of all the Trump-era falseisms– global warming is a hoax, non-citizens vote in America, tariffs are paid by foreign countries– one of the most toxic is that Judaism equals Israel.

Enough with the COP climate talks already
We need to talk about a problem that would be facing us now even if The Donald had never been born.
Is gerrymandering the way?
I understand the impulse to fight fire with fire, but redrawing districts is not going to get us out of the fix we’re in.
‘Antisemitism’ and the thought police
If you speak up on behalf of Palestinians in Gaza or elsewhere, you’re an antisemite. That’s it! Even if you’re a Jew.
Who needs a Congress?
Anymore, Congress doesn’t have to weigh in on war and peace. It doesn’t have to weigh in on much of anything, actually
The turning away; NATO is dead
The idea that the U.S. (aka D.J. Trump) is going to go to war to defend Latvia, Moldova, Poland or anybody else against a Russian invasion is laughable.
The preemptive pardon gambit
Biden preemptive pardons to protect Trump’s enemies from prosecution would signal no faith in the U.S justice system.
Let’s be open-minded about democracy

No, Justice Roberts, it’s definitely not textualism
Since the state of Colorado went up against SCOTUS in the matter of the 14th amendment and Donald Trump’s eligibility for office, I am haunted by what didn’t get said.
What happened to the durable Dem majority?
Maybe we should unplug the Democratic Party, plug it back in, and see if the little light comes on. Is there current to that outlet?
What ought not be done
Here in America, many things besides speech are awarded freedom of speech protections. Giving candidates money? Protected. Putting on a show? Well, yeah. At least for now.
What would happen if members of Congress had to pick produce?
Debates on immigration policy or agriculture should be undertaken by people who have a clue, or who have a connection to someone with a clue.
On coping with anti-Semitism and election denial
If you’re a Jew, anti-Semitism you run into is the worst. Similarly, if you’re a legislator in a democracy and you have to deal with people who are committed to ending that democracy, that has to be just about the worst, too.
How will we train our police after Nichols?
Was the police behavior that resulted in Tyre Nichol’s death the result of how the police who killed him were trained?
