The response to Callais must be just as ferocious as the Supreme Court’s assault on voting rights. We do not have a true democracy when millions of Americans cannot elect representatives of their choice, or when virtually all-white ruling class has a lock on office open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Dems killing it on RFK today. Well done, people. Now start grilling your colleagues who voted for this crackpot

The public rightfully blames Trump and his Republican doormats. In April, inflation soared to 3.8 percent, the highest in three years. There is no guarantee — and no indication — that it won’t go even higher before election day. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

One can imagine a downward spiral for the U.S. after Trump frittered away geopolitical advantages . His weakness in Iran emboldens China, while China’s potential to dominate the summit will only increase Iran’s resolve. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Iran happy to present Trump with a binary choice: Either Trump folds, or he resumes hostilities, which have already proven incapable of dislodging the regime. Anyone who understands Iran’s recent history and its mindset after surviving a war should not be surprised. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Inspiring, informative... THIS is the Callais push back open.substack.com/pub/contrari...
