    On targeting Hillary Clinton, Trump rewrites recent history

    It was, by any fair measure, a day unlike any other for a major party presidential candidate. In the morning, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a case in which Donald Trump claimed immunity from criminal prosecution. As the day progressed, the former president’s criminal trial progressed in New York in embarrassing and damaging ways. As the day came to an end, the Republican decided to wrap things up with a call-in interview to “Greg Kelly Reports” on Newsmax, where the two touched...

    Tesla's Cybertruck recall is par for the costly course for Elon Musk

    The Tesla Cybertruck is, for all its sharp angles, a Rorschach test. I saw one in the wild for the first-time last week, the gray behemoth slowly pulling through an intersection in my neighborhood. It drew the reaction its driver likely wanted out of two bystanders, both men, who seemed impressed by the shiny steel chassis. For my part, I could only see a very large pile of money, on wheels and on fire in the hopes of drawing envious glances. There are arguably two arsonists in this metaphor:...

    The tawdry history that explains how an Enquirer published ended up a Trump trial star

    In late January 2019, Jennifer Ash Rudick, a documentary film producer, was granted an in-person meeting at the Manhattan offices of American Media Inc. with Dylan Howard, then editor-in-chief of the National Enquirer. Rudick had been following up on a monthslong email trail of requests seeking the participation of Howard’s boss, AMI CEO David Pecker, for a feature-length documentary on the origin, evolution and impact of his most infamous publication. The meeting was brief, and as Rudick would...

  • Trump VP hopeful Kristi Noem is very proud of that time she murdered her dog

    If you’re a vice presidential hopeful trying to catch Donald Trump’s eye, there are worse ways to do it than bragging about killing your dog for doing ordinary dog things. Kristi Noem, who’s best known as the COVID-loving governor of one of America’s top rectangular states, has added capricious dog killer to her résumé. And while in another place, time, or universe it might have seemed outlandish to suggest she’s mentioning her dog-murdering bona fides in order to woo notorious dog-hater Trump,...

  • Granderson: Arizona's indictment of Trump allies follows a sordid, racist history

    I’ve lived and/or worked in 10 states scattered across the country. Arizona was and remains the most complicated. The same state that elected the first openly gay mayor of a large U.S. city is also the state that did not want a federal holiday for Martin Luther King Jr. Perhaps the cultural pendulum swings so drastically because the population shifts depending on the time of year — shoutout to you snowbirds. Whatever the season, though, Arizona is not a liberal epicenter like New York. To get...
