It’s gotten really hard to say what the worst thing is about Donald Trump, but right up there near the top has to be the machine-gun rapidity of his criminality.

Land War or Self-Terrorism?
In certain ways, the autumn of 2025 in the United States has recalled the autumn of 1938 in Nazi Germany.

The mass deportation of undocumented people was one of Hitler’s largest coercive policies before the war.

That’s how democracies slide into authoritarianism, a script we’ve seen most recently followed by Putin in Russia and Orbán in Hungary: first you pick a scapegoat, then you build the machinery to punish them, and pretty soon the target list grows until it includes anybody who challenges Dear Leader.

Asha Rangappa discovers Hitler's origin story was in Munich. Not Berlin. I'm glad. Shirer's book is not a hard read. I read it in 1969. At fifteen. She's a very smart person. Just sayin'. I know we all have gaps in our knowledge. A good column nonetheless. I recommend it.
