Thursday
Tuesday

How to score the Trump-Harris debate

‘Trump is still Trump,’ says Piers Morgan
‘He hadn’t changed one iota’
Kamala has more to lose in the debate than Trump
The Trump team shouldn’t change anything about its debate approach
Friday

The weeks of bubble-wrap treatment have not served her well
Wednesday
Jack Smith’s superseding Trump indictment shows that norms are meant to be broken
The special counsel throws yet another Hail Mary
