20-odd years ago, I was fired from my dream job at Rolling Stone before I could publish anything. So let's try this again! Thanks to all who read me in the Post these past 6 years - hope you'll follow the next chapter.

When discussing the various indictments he has faced during Trump’s second term, Comey says:

“I think [Trump’s] approach to me and to many others is… I need to get even with people.”

Whatever you think of James Comey, it’s hard to argue with this:

No unelected official this century has been at the center of so many high-stakes controversies in Washington, D.C., with so many serious consequences for the country.

"I mean one of the norms that the FBI exists under is a duty of candor, especially when you testify. And so both doors led to hell, but you couldn’t choose the concealed door."

Great convo between James Comey and @mattbai:

Is Trump creating an American "theocratic republic"?

By framing the current war as a divine crusade and casting himself as a "Christ-like healer," he’s embracing the same theocratic absolutism he claims to fight in Iran.

[Rolling Stone @RollingStone]

While Donald Trump threatens, repeatedly, to obliterate the Iranian state, he seems increasingly inclined toward creating his own theocratic republic right here at home.

@YESNetwork Hey, are you guys working on this sound modulation problem that seems to be getting worse? It’s like Michael has an Austin Powers problem controlling the VOLUME OF HIS VOICE.

"Heckuva job there, Trump. Heckuva job." From @mattbai https://t.co/kJG8qbhr2m via @RollingStone

[Rolling Stone @RollingStone]

What’s killing Trump right now isn’t the extremist agenda — it’s the mind-blowing incompetence, writes @mattbai.

[Michael Medved @MedvedSHOW]

“Regime change is always unpredictable… and it usually leads to long-term pain.”

@mattbai's warning about Iran — and U.S. strategy — is something people need to hear.
