The Consequences of Chaos

It’s been another roller-coaster month for the United States and our global allies as the Trump executive branch demonstrates what happens when “tit for tat” decisions are made without respect to the longer-term consequences.

A right-wing think-tank redirects the Justice Department’s purpose

President Donald Trump is openly transforming the Department of Justice's primary role of advising presidents on the limits of their authority under the Constitution into one that justifies and advocates his MAGA philosophy.
