Every living ex-president except Trump appears in pro-vaccine PSA

In a new PSA featuring every (adult) former president, the COVID-19 vaccine takes center stage. The message: Don’t be a dick. Get the vaccine. Or at least that was my takeaway. Only one ex-president did not participate, indicating (again) that Donald Trump needs more than just a psychiatrist. He needs someone to...

Independent economic analysis: A Trump loss would be far better for the economy

I’ll never understand why people think Republican presidents — and Republicans in general — are good for the economy. We have decades of economic data that say otherwise. When it comes to the economy, Republicans are like loud, stumbling drunks who keep insisting they’re okay to drive. Every Friday and Saturday...

If there’s one thing Donald Trump is good at, it’s shouting the same outrageous lies over and over again.
