A new solution for Trump and his team of billionaires: Ignore the law
The president-elect is directly at odds with the Constitution and many of his top aides are flouting federal laws against self-dealing.
Donald Trump seems to want us all to be gripped by the terror of nuclear annihilation
How does a new arms race sound?

Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, Vladimir Putin and more — drawn and gif'd.
 
Will chaos be the defining trait of the Trump White House?
A recipe for confusion.

Trump's distressing chest-thumping on nuclear weapons
Rather than restarting an arms race, he should focus on making the world safer.
 
Donald Trump is executing a brilliant media strategy. If only he had a strategy for governing.
There's great theater coming out of Trump Tower and Mar-a-Lago. But theater is all it is.
 
Surprises under the tree?
Three holiday wishes.
 
2016 was the year that Hollywood got working-class white men right
Politics suggests we have to choose between working-class white men and everyone else. In 2016, Hollywood reminded us that's a lie.

‘The Surprisingly Weak Reasoning of Mohamud
A closer look at the Ninth Circuit's recent Fourth Amendment decision on email surveillance.
