The former president is learning that the old, responsibility-evading tricks he used as a private-sector scammer don’t work once you’ve held public office.

Federal agents searched his home and seized documents, as Biden’s Justice Department charges ahead with a long-overdue investigation.

His postpresidency will be an exhausting and expensive parade of legal battles.

It was a foregone conclusion that the former president wouldn’t be convicted—and the mainstream press is finally reaching a consensus about why.

Trump’s acquittal notwithstanding, these violent events have forever changed the way Beltway reporters should do their jobs.

Had Senate Democrats called witnesses during the impeachment trial, they could have won over some independent voters. Instead, they rushed to go on recess.

The former president’s lawyers rested their case in the Senate impeachment trial with a simple, ridiculous claim: He’s the real victim here.

He claims to want to save the Republican Party—by opposing its beloved leader and pushing policies more popular with Democrats.

Yet that’s the problem: Senate Republicans are anything but reasonable.

His second impeachment trial is being presented as a cut-and-dried case, in contrast to its predecessor. But the first impeachment was cut-and-dried, too.

With a few notable exceptions, these lawmakers have forfeited any claim to decency or patriotism during Trump’s impeachment trial.

President Trump’s lawyers swung wildly between incompetence and malevolence in an embarrassing presentation.

The president’s counsel will try to convince Congress to forget the months leading up to the Capitol riots.

He’s misreading the Constitution and claiming to be the real victim of the Capitol riots.

They have one final chance to prove his guilt in inciting the Capitol riot—and they’re squandering it.

The direction of conservative “thought” since Trump left office suggests that the party’s future is limited to brutal voter suppression and culture-war conflict.

Nobody does more to dismember the hollow mythology of the “world’s greatest deliberative body” than that body’s members.

Democrats in Congress should avoid the temptation to turn the page after Trump’s Senate trial. There’s still too much to investigate.

Even if the Senate votes to convict the president, it would come at a cost.

He’s an immediate threat to America, and yet Democratic leaders are showing little urgency.
