  • Donald Trump's desperation is showing—more than usual

    As the ides of April approach, Donald Trump faces a heap of trouble—of his own making, naturally—that has him flopping about like a stunned carp on the bottom of a rowboat. And, frankly, he’s looking pretty desperate. Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty desperate. There’s more video of Trump bragging about overturning Roe v. Wade than of Melania slapping his wee, scurvy hand away, so he can’t really run away from the issue. But he sure is trying. And as dense as Donald is, he surely knows...

  • Polls show there's a cost to Trump alienating Haley voters

    When former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley ended her presidential bid in early March, Donald Trump and his allies emphatically told her supporters and "those" Romney-esque Republicans to take a hike. Those supporters listened, as Pennsylvania proved yet again this week, when more than 16% of Republican voters in the state's closed primary cast a ballot for Haley and against Trump. The Washington Post's Aaron Blake assembled a list of states with Republican-only primaries so far and highlighted the...

  • Column: The crackdown on student protesters shows exactly why we need them

    Pro-Palestinian protests continue to spread on American campuses for one simple reason: They are working. You do not have to agree with the protesters' politics and demands — which in most cases involve universities divesting from firms that contribute to the Israeli war effort — or their methods, which include setting up tent encampments on shared spaces, to acknowledge that the demonstrations are doing exactly what student demonstrations almost always do. That is, force this country to face...

  • Trump's trial: A 'freak show' on the outside and solemn on the inside

    Inside a courthouse nestled between Tribeca and Chinatown on Monday morning, former President Donald Trump's lawyers argued with the district attorney's office over procedures for a hush-money case that could send an ex-commander in chief to prison for the first time in American history. New York state Judge Juan Merchan advised lawyers that he was getting a little annoyed by the "minutiae."

  • JESSE WATTERS: This is a political show trial that Trump's not allowed to describe
