Don’t make me feel stupid: How should “we” (liberal elites, I guess) talk to Trump voters in the white working class? Isaac Chotiner speaks with law professor Joan C. Williams, who thinks we’ve been doing it completely wrong.

Worst enemy: With every tweet he tweets about the topic, Donald Trump is losing his travel ban case and making the DOJ lawyers who have to represent him look like fools, Dahlia Lithwick writes.

C’mon, Al: Laura Miller reviews Al Franken’s new book, which—allegedly, tragically—is NOT a trial balloon for a new presidential campaign.
