“Organized labor has been a key to the growth of a solid middle- and working-class America,” @GailCollins tells Bret Stephens. “But the U.A.W.’s lack of support for Biden’s effort to move us to electric cars has definitely cooled me.” nyti.ms/44VW5IY
Believe me, I never thought I’d be in a world where I wanted to be back with Mike Pence in any way, shape or form. But when the critical moment came, he followed through and declared the actual election winner the actual election winner.

I still don’t believe anything on the Biden bad-behavior ledger compares to the way Trump built a personal real estate empire on smarmy-to-corrupt practices.

Politically, I have a terrible suspicion that indictment will help Trump in the Republican primaries. So sad the law-and-order party has apparently lost interest in the law — or, for that matter, order — when it doesn’t suit their purpose.

About Ron DeSantis. Last week, I criticized him for weenie stuff like big book advances and questionable road repair materials. At the time, I definitely felt like I was carping.
Then his people shared an ad on L.G.B.T.Q. issues that … wow.

I know that many very smart people are in the throes of despair, but I just can’t get there.

RFK Jr. is running for the Democratic presidential nomination against Joe Biden. And while he isn’t going to win, he’ll certainly draw a lot of attention. Even loyal Democrats have gotten kinda bored with our current president...

To me, diversity is a very, very important goal — you don’t want to be living in a world in which all the folks of one race or class never interact with folks from another.

Nora Ephron shows us who we are and how we got there and makes you wish she were still here to write about the future.

We’re obviously in history-making territory — first former president indicted in a criminal case brought by the federal government. And this one is certainly a classic Trump combination of shocking and stupid.

While sitting on piles of cash will not necessarily make you president, it sure does help open a lot of doors...

Dianne Feinstein is giving old age a bad name.

Third parties. So tempting. So disaster-inducing.
The lure is obvious. Donald Trump’s terrible and Joe Biden’s boring. Much more satisfying to go to the polls and announce you’re too far above the status quo to vote for either.

“One of the happier factoids of the world today is that a huge proportion of it has forgotten who Sarah Palin even is," says @GailCollins. “What’s worse than being both terrible and forgettable?” nyti.ms/41PnBY7
Biden certainly has negatives. But Trump has a lot more — all way more dire.

I have trouble imagining that Biden doesn’t dream about knocking Trump off the wall one more time.

Is Biden being 80-plus a big deal when Gloria Steinem just had a party to celebrate her 89th?

If you want to argue that Trump’s not the worst sex-scandal offender, I’m fine with it. Won’t even mention Grover Cleveland …

Don’t know how much our former president knows about prosecutorial procedure, but he’s definitely got expertise when it comes to misconduct.
