Another day, another melt down.

The president does not hold press conferences to push his agenda. He does not preside over town halls, nor does he explain policy from the podium. He does not speak to his Attorney General when he is displeased. He tweets. Waking up to the president’s Twitter feed brings William Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury […]
