Well, that was some real talk with my friend Michael Cohen, who of course went on the journey I hope millions more do: from Trump loyalist to seething Trump critic.
This is a bracing conversation, I will warn you. We talk about the Democratic Party’s capitulation, yet again, to Republicans.
And I suggest that this is now a two-front war: the first and most urgent job is to fight the Trump-Musk rampage. The second but not trifling one is to depose much of what currently masquerades as Democratic Party “leadership” and build a new party.
