- by Julianne McShaneLast week, after the Republican National Committee adopted its latest party platform, major news outlets—including the New York Times, the Washington Post, and even Fox News—reported that the GOP had “softened” its stance on abortion, since the platform did not explicitly call for a national abortion ban. As I reported, though, leading legal scholars begged […]
- by Pema LevyTwo weeks ago, the Supreme Court announced that former presidents are immune from prosecution for possibly all official acts undertaken while in office.

- by HeatherIt's been upside-down land from right wingers since the attempted assassination of Trump, who've been desperate to try to toss this back on Joe Biden and liberals and basically tell everyone to sit down and shut up and quit talking about the fact that Trump is dangerous and wants to destroy democracy in the United […]

- by Conover KennardUnsurprisingly, Judge Aileen Cannon, who was nominated to the bench by Trump in 2020 and whose husband has mob ties, let the felon off the hook for hoarding our country's classified documents.

- by John AmatoFox News Sunday host put the blame squarely of all highly offensive and grossly inflammatory talk on the Democratic Party and anyone from the left.

- by Left Wisdomoriginal picture taken by me in the French QuarterRepublicans are firmly about the business of undoing all the civil rights gains of well over 50 years in this nation.
