Perché l’informazione, anche quella più sana e fedele ai fatti, ha un grande ma inevitabile difetto: dà per scontato che si sappia di che cosa si stia parlando.

History has shown us that great world powers don’t fail because of lack of food, too much debt, a weak military, or absence of trade. What ultimately causes their collapse is the loss of the common identity that binds people together. Not since the Civil War has the absence of a common American identity been more pronounced.

The videos went viral, introducing Americans to her no-bullshit style, and making her a coveted guest on cable news and late-night television.

This collection of columns, previously published in newspapers around the world, looks at two things through the lens of the law: the presidency of Donald J. Trump and the response to the presidency of Donald J. Trump.
