k HOW THE GOVERNMENT LOST ITS MIND
k TRUMP’S RACISM IS BAD FOR WHITE PEOPLE, TOO
“For as much blame as the president himself deserves for the country’s current dire condition— and his malign incompetence is breathtaking— the federal government’s failure here is not the president’s alone.”
“What Trump doesn’t want his supporters to know—or perhaps what he himself ignores—is that his presidency is bad for white voters, too.”

k CORONAVIRUS OR NO, WHY DO WE HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE IN NURSING HOMES?
k THE TRANSITION IS ALREADY HAPPENING (AND IT’S GOING FINE SO FAR)
“But as this crisis makes us reexamine many things we long took for granted, so too should it prompt us to also ask why so many older adults are left with little choice but to reside in these facilities in the first place.”
“A defeated & vindictive Trump could well find ways to make the time between the election’s resolution and the inauguration a national nightmare. But the real threats will be out in the open.”

k WHY TRUMP’S LAWYERS SHOULD TALK LIKE LAWYERS
k THE CONSTITUTION IS ON PAUSE IN AMERICA’S COURTROOMS
“But his lawyers can instead proceed as officers of some sort of court, subject to duties of candor, good faith and fair representation—and for the good of the Constitution and the country, that’s the path they should choose.”
“Since the start of the COVID-19 crisis in the United States, [judicial] processes have mostly been on hold—and with them, the constitutional rights of these defendants, and the possibility of justice for the crimes at issue.”
