Description

Sarah Longwell and Andrew Weissmann talk about the Iran nuclear deal—why the "win" Trump is selling actually leaves America with less leverage, fewer allies, and zero nuclear resolution than where we started. Plus: what Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman's book reveals about JD Vance's behind-the-scenes opposition to the war, Trump's habit of comparing himself to history's worst tyrants, and the new DOJ legal theory that could gut Americans' right to sue polluters under environmental law.

Serious Question to The Bulwark Team. If Congress and the DOJ are unwilling or unable ... who is supposed to hold the President accountable for his actions? The executive branch is violating human rights on a global scale and both the Legislative and the Judicial are absent. Where are the checks and balances I read about back in 8th grade? Please Explain.

Excellent “Murder on the Orient Express” reference! Book was 1934. The definitive film version was Albert Finney leading an ensemble cast, 1974.
