Man, are we getting repetitive. To my colleagues in the media: Please stop saying this could be the scandal that topples the president. At the end of every week since Trump took office, the 24/7 squawkers have been trying to justify Chicken Little bullhorns. “It’s been a rough week for the president,” a newscaster …
What a golden-egged goose Donald Trump has been to late night. In many ways, he is King Midas, imploring Dionysus for the golden touch, only to learn to be careful what you ask for. And he has asked for a lot — to the delight of the comically-inclined left. A magic wall. Witch-hunt recognition. …

It’s easy to feel we’re moving backward. With rogue Keebler Elf Jeff Session at the legal wheel as Attorney General, it’s tempting to fret a liberal future: Our president does not believe in science and the Supreme Court is shaded red by a robe.
