Trump’s coronavirus performance art is dangerous for Americans and, he finally seems to realize, working well for a 2020 rival who is stuck at home.

I did not anticipate Barr’s perfidious misrepresentations, maddening Democratic caution or scandalous Republican indifference. Let’s clear things up.

Democrats can talkabout political dealsafter they’re running the table.That won’t happen unless theyuse the tactics that got Republicans this far.

We need someone who will spend 18 months calling out bigotry, bullying and everything we don’t want our children to be. Biden could be that candidate.

Ordering up lies on business with Russia? Maybe this will turn Republicans from Trump acolytes into the national leaders we need as impeachment looms.

Voting reforms should be top priority for all Democrats, now in states and later in Washington. What good are policy gains if you can’t sustain them?
