Dark money-fueled law firm joins Massachusetts climate suit against Big OilFIRST ON FOX: A California climate-focused law firm, which has received millions of dollars from left-leaning nonprofits, has quietly joined Massachusetts’ persistent legal battle against the oil giant ExxonMobil.According to court filings reviewed by Fox News, Sher Edling’s founding partners, Vic Sher and Matt Edling, were admitted to the case of Commonwealth of Massachusetts v.

The Ego Has Crash-Landed

The Ego Has Crash-LandedDonald Trump dominated the news cycle this weekend. Everybody’s talking about the outrageous things he said at his rally in Dayton, Ohio—above all, his menacing warning of a “bloodbath” if he is defeated in November. To follow political news is to again be immersed in all Trump, all the time. And that’s why Trump will lose.At the end of the 1980 presidential debate, the then-challenger Ronald Reagan posed a famous series of questions that opened with “Are you better off than you were four years ago?”Why that series of questions was so powerful is important to understand.

His summation also sent an implicit message about his understanding of how and why a vote was earned.As a presidential candidate that year, Reagan arrived as a hugely famous and important person. He was the champion of the…

A Senator Who Loved to Kibitz

A Senator Who Loved to KibitzSay what you will about Joe Lieberman, the self-described “Independent Democrat” senator from Connecticut and onetime Democratic vice-presidential candidate. He was many things—honorable, devout, sanctimonious, maddening, and unfailingly warm and decent—all of which have been unpacked since his death yesterday, at 82. He elicited strong reactions, often from Democrats, over his various apostasies to liberal orthodoxy.But what I’ll miss and remember most about Lieberman was that the man loved to kibitz. It is something of a lost art, at least the in-person version, which has largely given over to quippy faceless mediums (text messages, Twitter). This has been especially true in politics in recent years, as public figures have rightly become hypercautious—or paranoid—about saying anything that could become an instant viral disaster.I’m thankful that most of my encounters with Lieberman came before social media made politicians so suspicious and scared. I ran into him periodically…
