  • The Decline of Trumpism and the Crisis of Capitalism

    The chaotic Trump reign over US politics is showing critical signs of weakening on many fronts: Trumponomics is failing: Trumpian immigration policy has stirred a powerful backlash; Teflon Trump has been tarnished by his clumsy, slippery handling of the Epstein scandal; his foreign-policy contradictions and outrages have confused both international friends and foes alike; and […]

  • We’re Tired of Marco Rubio Speaking for Us

    “Put three Cubans in a room together, you’ll have five different opinions,” a Cuban friend of mine likes to joke.
