    Be mad at Manchin, who didn't bargain "in good faith" as he claimed. Acknowledge that progressives were right about what would happen if infrastructure passed first. But save hottest ire for 50 GOP senators who'd rather deny Biden a win than help families and save the planet.

    Avis Collins Robinson, the love of my life, passed away Saturday after a brief battle with cancer. She was an extraordinary woman, and my profound grief is tempered by gratitude that she allowed me to share her extraordinary life.

    This is the text of the Post columnists' statement, for those hitting the paywall: The Washington Post’s decision not to make an endorsement in the presidential campaign is a terrible mistake. It represents an abandonment of the fundamental editorial convictions of the newspaper

    When I wrote this yesterday, I meant Trump would spiral further out of control as time goes by. I didn't mean, like, today.

    Every Republican in Congress should be asked whether Trump is right to compare the impeachment inquiry to "a lynching." Every single one should have to answer.

    One closing thought before bedtime: Trump's war against the press is not just a play to the base. It is an existential struggle against what has always been his nemesis: the truth. He knows it can destroy him.

    Trump just said he is cutting all U.S. funding to the World Health Organization in the midst of a global pandemic. He will always do the worst possible thing. There is no bottom to this abyss.

    Sorry, but tonight I just have to tweet this column again. "The truth is that we don’t have an actual presidency right now. We have a tiresome reality show whose ratings have begun to slide — and whose fading star sees cancellation on the way." wapo.st/2P2iToJ?tid=ss…

    This is nuts. Seriously, there's something clinically wrong.

    President Trump showed a doctored hurricane chart. Was it to cover up for ‘Alabama’ Twitter flub?
    Trump had erroneously stated last week that Hurricane Dorian threatened Alabama.

    When Donald Trump disparages African Americans as "low I.Q." and dehumanizes a black woman as "that dog," he's speaking the language of white supremacy. Get mad, and then get even: Vote against his enablers in November.

    These people were yelling "Death to Jews!" Donald Trump just praised and defended them as victims.

    Now Pompeo, like Trump, is going on about the "Chinese virus." How did such a great nation ever put so much power in such inadequate little hands?

    Predictably, no remorse or even contrition from Marjorie Taylor Green. Just fawning worship of Trump. GOP, you have the new face of your party.

    Almost anything is less cruel than snatching toddlers from their mothers, but indefinite confinement of families in concentration camps is still cruel. And racist. And wholly unjustified.
