Trump. It’s up to us to…

In Whom Do We Trust?

By Joel Stronberg, Esq. and 10/14/25

In whom do we trust? God, I wish I knew, it certainly isn’t in each other. And, it’s most unfortunate, because trust is the secret sauce of a representative democracy. When the sauce turns toxic, it eats away at the underpinnings of the republic. The drama playing out in Washington…

By Joel Stronberg, Esq. and 09/24/25

Venice has its pigeons and Capistrano its swallows. Flying over the White House and Capitol Hill these days are birds of a different feather – chickens. For the president and the GOP Congress, they’ll soon be coming home to roost. Although all elections are important, some are more so than…

The View from Washington (28 April 2025)

By Joel Stronberg, Esq. and 04/30/25

By Joel Stronberg, Esq. and 04/21/25

Politics is context; in today's context, Washington is the last place climate activists should be showing up to plead their case. There's little to be gained by a direct assault on the GOP members of Congress. And Democrats, for the most part, are already fighting to keep the Trump administration…
