Opinion | War-making is the president’s business, not Congress’s
The executive branch is too powerful, yes, but Trump was free to act against Iran.
You cannot blame professional journalists for not questioning the Trump administration's competence at warmaking, since the issue was never raised by anyone we pay attention to.

Opinion | Why let this nuclear treaty expire? Because of what Trump can do now.
New START couldn’t protect America — and the president knew it.
In which I confidently cite the success of Reagan's SDI, the judgment of Donald Rumsfeld, and the dream of Trump's Golden Dome to explain why he let a vital nonproliferation treaty expire.

Opinion | Americans hated Biden’s economy. And Trump’s?
Rising wages haven’t erased memories of inflation or the shock of higher prices.
While it is wrong to reflexively disbelieve the administration it is worse to conclude that the lies they tell about the economy are 𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘺 bad.

If you soft-pedal Tucker Carlson's racism, misogyny, and Nazi-adjacent behavior, you just might have what the GOP needs to dominate the next decade.
