- Absolutely right---can't wait for the next election to stop the damage. irashapiro.substack.com/p/seen-enoug...
- Great summary, but our country can't wait until the next election to stop this terrible damage. Time for the remedy that the Founders gave us. irashapiro.substack.com/p/seen-enoug...
- It's wonderful to see a great leader join Bluesky, And with respect to defending our democracy, here are my latest thoughts. irashapiro.substack.com/p/seen-enoug...
- Great point. At every key juncture, the damage Trump could do has been underestimated. Here are my latest thoughts on what to do.I'm sharing this post with those whose writing and thinking have meant the most to me during this terrible period. irashapiro.substack.com/p/seen-enoug...
- With due respect to some superb lawyers, the idea that a constitutional crisis doesn't begin until Trump defies a court order is simply bizarre. We are in midst of an unprecedented constitutional crisis--the radical destruction of our democracy. irashapiro.substack.com
- Disgraceful conduct. Soon, of course, Rubio will be rationalizing his behavior on the grounds that if he leaves, his successor would be even worse. That didn't work out for any one in Trump 1.0, and it certainly won't work out this time. irashapiro.substack.com
- Not being a doctor or a psychologist, I avoid using the word "insane." But I did write recently about "our irrational president" and found Trump's current behavior similar to his unhinged decision making during the pandemic. irashapiro.substack.com/p/our-irrati...
