Trump proves him unfit to make foreign policy

President Donald Trump's shameful surrender to Vladimir Putin at the Helsinki summit revealed a threat to U.S. security far greater than Russia's hack of the 2016 election: the president himself.

The end of NATO?

What is left of NATO and the transatlantic order after U.S. President Donald Trump's tumultuous week in Brussels, the United Kingdom, and Helsinki, where he defended Russian President Vladimir Putin against accusations of cyber warfare by America's own intelligence agencies?

Chokehold on justice

The agonizing death of Eric Garner four years ago, the result of NYPD officer Daniel Pantaleo applying a banned chokehold to a man whose offense was selling loose cigarettes, has been followed by excruciating delays in the quest for even basic disciplinary justice.

It's not as bad as it seems

A fork in the road for Mexico

“When you come to a fork in the road,” said the famously muddled baseball legend Yogi Berra, “take it.” That is what Mexico has just done.

Trump unwilling to get tough on Russia
