Can President Donald Trump be stopped?More precisely, since the Republican-controlled Congress seems more willing to enable than to restrain, to what extent will the legal system be capable of halting his barrage of executive orders and other questionable actions? Can blue states and private plaintiffs fight back with lawsuits — or is the gusher of Trumpian excesses too overwhelming to mount an effective counterattack?And, most critically, are the courts — ultimately the Supreme Court — more inclined to accede to Trump’s inflated conception of presidential authority or to limit his overreach? If they dare to frustrate his will, will Trump...

No president in history has caused more damage to the nation more quickly. As we enter Week 3 of President Donald Trump’s second term, the chaos and disruption of his first look quaint by comparison. The country survived Trump 1. Now, it faces a real threat that the harm he inflicts during his second term will be irreparable. The United States’ standing in the world, its ability to keep the country safe, the federal government’s fundamental capacity to operate effectively — all of these will take years to repair, if that can be achieved at all.This column will concentrate on...

Sen. Chris Murphy (D – Tehran) doesn’t seem to have gotten the memo that the famine hoax has fallen apart and Hamas tossed it aside after the Biden – Witkoff deal allows it to claim victory. But after the Trump administration froze the gravy train of aid, including $50 million in condoms for Gaza, Sen. Murphy tweeted that “It’s a lie. Made up. There was no U.S. funding for condoms in Gaza. What he stopped is programs to keep malnourished babies alive in Gaza. Aid groups say infants will start to die next week.” Everyone knows the perpetually malnourished...

At least six senior FBI leaders have been ordered to retire, resign or be fired by Monday, according to sources briefed on the matter, extending a purge that began last week at the Justice Department across the street from the FBI headquarters. The senior officials are at the executive assistant director level or special agent in charge level and include those who oversee cyber, national security and criminal investigations, the sources told CNN. Some were notified while Kash Patel, President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the agency, sat answering questions from senators for his confirmation hearing Thursday. Trump transition officials...

Eitan Fischberger @EFischberger: This Wapo article is one of the most blatant examples of journalistic malpractice I've seen in a while.Shame on @leo_sands, @sammy_westfall, @NihaMasih, and @MiriamABerger for omitting critical information that would've drastically reframed the piece for their audience 🧵 CAMERAorg and 4 others.

President-elect Donald Trump “already conquered” Washington, DC, before Inauguration Day, the Washington Post‘s Marianne LeVine, Clara Ence Morse, and Aaron Schaffer admitted Saturday. The report details a “stark contrast to his divisive entry in 2017 and departure in 2021” compared to Trump’s reelection, but it failed to mention the amount of obstacles he overcame to achieve the greatest political comeback in American history. Trump ultimately defeated political opponents who tried to imprison him, bankrupt him, remove him from the ballot, and make him politically irrelevant by introducing a partisan committee to investigate January 6 — and whose inflammatory rhetoric created...

The Washington Post is dying, like Democracy does in darkness. Cringe-worthy slogans aside, the Washington Post's downfall is well deserved as the rag has become an ultra-biased outlet that not only proved itself to be an unreliable social narrator but proved that the ideology that it supported is an absolute failure. So it's not a surprise that over the course of the years, its audience has more or less completely abandoned it, leaving it a shadow of its former self, a Goliath in the news industry. According to Semafor.com, WaPo has bled out its traffic, and that bleed was heavy....

When Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) met with key Democrats last month to make her case to help lead a committee that will be critical in countering President-elect Donald Trump, she faced sharp questions from members of her party. As Ocasio-Cortez lobbied the powerful Steering Committee that decides panel assignments, Rep. Linda T. Sánchez (D-California) pressed her on her past decisions to endorse primary challengers against Democratic incumbents. Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas), one of the incumbents Ocasio-Cortez tried to defeat, followed up by asking why Democrats should elevate her given her previous animosity toward her less-liberal colleagues, according to two...

President Joe Biden used an op-ed on Sunday about January 6, 2021, to lob political attacks against President-elect Donald Trump. Biden ran for president in 2020 pledging to “restore” decency and honor to the White House. That pledge appeared to fail once again after Biden’s piece was published in the Washington Post under the headline, “What Americans should remember about Jan. 6.” In the option article, Biden tried to divide Americans by reminding them about events surrounding the previous election and its fallout: An unrelenting effort has been underway to rewrite — even erase — the history of that day....

Many news outlets have published Robert F. Kennedy Jr. profiles in the past 18 months, but The Washington Post’s in June was the only one to warrant a 20-page response from the Trump HHS nominee (This story is the first in a four-part series this month by Just the News on self-described watchdogs who push for censorship.) “If we don’t have free speech, then we just don’t have a free country,” President-elect Donald Trump said in a video posted to social media just day after winning reelection on Nov. 5. “Today, I’m announcing my plan to shatter the left-wing censorship...

Hugh Hewitt, an establishment media conservative commentator, abruptly departed a live episode Thursday of Washington Post Live’s First Look after its host berated him for recapping election integrity initiatives that were held up in court. WaPo’s associate editor Jonathan Capehart appeared to be embarrassed by the departure of Hewitt, who called the show “the most unfair election ad I’ve ever been a part of,” implicitly likening it to a campaign ad for Kamala Harris. A recent Gallup poll found Americans’ trust in the media to report current events “fully, accurately and fairly” has plummeted to a record low. Only 31...

The Washington Post has been rocked by a tidal wave of cancellations from digital subscribers and a series of resignations from columnists, as the paper grapples with the fallout of owner Jeff Bezos’s decision to block an endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris for president. More than 200,000 people had canceled their digital subscriptions by midday Monday, according to two people at the paper with knowledge of internal matters. Not all cancellations take effect immediately. Still, the figure represents about 8% of the paper’s paid circulation of roughly 2.5 million subscribers, which includes print as well. The number of cancellations...

Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos has reportedly given the newspaper a mandate to add more conservative voices to its opinion section — even as he remains silent over the broadsheet’s decision not to endorse a candidate in the 2024 presidential election. Bezos — the world’s second richest person with a fortune that Bloomberg Billionaires Index valued at $211 billion as of Monday — is keen on gaining a more ideologically diverse readership by expanding his newspaper’s reach among right-leaning audiences, according to a report in The New York Times. The Amazon founder, meanwhile, has remained silent over the non-endorsement controversy....

***After a decade of telling us Donald Trump is Hitler, the Post announced that Kamala Harris is so awful that the paper would not endorse her over Hitler. ….What followed was the usual-usual from our moral betters — what we’ve come to expect when our oh-so dignified elites don’t get their way: a full-blown-lay-down-on-the-floor-in-the-middle-of-the-grocery-store-kicking-and-screaming tantrum. ... politicians who showed no emotion about Americans dying in Benghazi discovering their outrage ….… Here are three reasons this is glorious…First off, while it is humiliating for Kamala not to win an endorsement against Hitler, in the real world, an endorsement from the stupid...

The Washington Post's non-endorsement of Donald Trump or Kamala Harris has kicked up controversy. It comes after the LA Times made the same decision. Both papers are owned by billionaires. The non-endorsements are being seen as political statements, whether or not that was the intent. When is something a newspaper doesn't publish a news story? In this case, that's right now. And it's actually two stories: The Washington Post won't be endorsing a presidential candidate this year. The move comes days after the Los Angeles Times made the same decision. The obvious parallel between the two calls is that both...

The Washington Post has decided not to endorse a candidate for president this year. Ed has a post coming up discussing the matter, so I won't go into the reasoning or provide an analysis of what is behind that decision. Ed has been in this business longer than I have and is, frankly, better at that sort of thing. He is one of the best analysts I have ever met and a lot more dispassionate in his analyses. The Post, as far as I know, is the second major newspaper to bow out of the endorsement scramble this year after...
