“We the people” have two powers: greater numbers than MAGA and personal agency to say no with our votes.

Early voting for the 2026 midterms is starting. Vote.org and state election websites provide everything we need to know to have our say (and hopefully way) on or before November 3.

Nicely written, Mary. trump, as always, is delusional. Actually, I think he is also predictable in that he will always say and do the inconceivable.

Mary, you have outdone yourself today with breadth, depth, honesty, clarity, and just a shred of hope that we can be our better selves, individually and collectively. Thank you.

Thank you for the piece about our new Prime Minister, Andy Burnham. I am very impressed by him and his handling of Trump, especially as he is not a specialist in foreign affairs.

Believe me, it was my pleasure

Wouldn't you just love to know what President Xi is thinking and perhaps saying to his wife in private about all this? And, for that matter, Putin too. They don't even roll their eyes though ... very disciplined or excellent actors? I guess trump isn't showing Xi the reflecting pool?

I'm happy Trump has fewer cameras and microphones to blabber in front of. Hope the press uses that to their advantage, doing strong and accurate reporting without viewers having to listen to the clips of trump spewing bs.

It's just all so embarrassing...

Delusional at best: I'm currently in Europe. Two days ago in a small village in France we sat at a table next to a Belgian who had hand printed "F--K Trump" on the back of his white shirt (he hadn't left any letters out). There is no love for the cowardice and chaos coming out of our country right now. And, there is very little respect. (We had great and lively conversation though).

Excellent analysis and reporting, as always.
