It’s only 40 sentences, and the sentences are not long. I recognize that I left out several examples — of his corruption or his racism, for example — that furthered a theme already on the list .

When you get to the end of the list, I wonder if you’ll have the same reaction that I had after putting it together: It sure seems like it’s time for Congress — both the Democratic leaders in the House and the Republican leaders in the Senate — to use its constitutional power to hold the president accountable for the harm he’s causing to the United States.

Iran and Saudi Arabia

I found two op-eds particularly helpful in sorting through the recent attack on Saudi oil facilities. In The Washington Post, Suzanne Maloney explains that Iran’s government — the leading suspect — has decided that aggression often pays: “Iranian leaders appear to have concluded that restraint will probably achieve little in extricating the country from its predicament.”

In The Times, Robert Worth writes that the lack of immediate American response signals an end to the “security umbrella” that the United States long offered “to protect the oil-rich Persian Gulf states from their enemies — and, especially, from Iran.”
