Here’s how it could quickly become a force to be reckoned with. — Soon millions of Americans will have a chance to vote in the midterm elections, but whatever the outcome it will not change the status quo. If the Republicans win, they will continue to obstruct Biden’s agenda. And if the Democrats win, the Republicans will also continue to obstruct Biden’s agenda. …

Higher income tax won’t affect the ultra-wealthy because their wealth doesn’t come from regular income. — I don’t mind paying taxes. Taxes pay for all kinds of useful things like roads, cops, teachers, judges, health care, $100 million dollar fighter jets (all right, maybe not everything is just as useful, but still). What I do mind is having to pay taxes while the richest people don’t…

And so should every other state — Texas Republican Party Chair Allen West made waves Friday by floating the idea of secession after the Supreme Court threw out a Texas lawsuit aimed at overturning the results of the presidential election. Commenting on the decision, West said: “Perhaps law-abiding states should bond together and form a Union of…

The 3 reasons why American police kill 1,000 civilians every year — Left-Leaning media contend that police killings are the result of systemic racism. But however powerful the anecdotal evidence might seem, this view is not supported by empirical data. Yes, black Americans are killed at more than twice the rate of white people.

A drowning man will clutch at a straw. Time to #SuspendTrump — Is it just me, or is Trump’s behavior increasingly (and eerily) similar to that of another infamous demagogue during the final days of his reign?

If you struggle this much against the worst President in American history, you didn’t do a very good job — How can it be this close? Tell me you didn’t ask yourself that question last night or when you woke up this morning. How is it possible that Joe Biden did not win this election in a landslide? And don’t come with vague accusations of white supremacy and disgruntled white…

And how we are helping him do it — One of Vladimir Putin’s main goals in the 2016 presidential election was to undermine faith in American democracy. This time, he could help end American democracy altogether. According to a recent AP-NORC poll, more than two-thirds of Democrats are concerned about potential foreign interference in November’s election, And while only…

Now more than ever we need the Democrats to be the adults in the room. — You know there is something profoundly wrong with the Supreme Court appointment process when the dying wish of an 87-year-old Supreme Court Justice is “not to be replaced until a new president is installed.” One thing is clear: the last thing an already dangerously polarized country needs is an equally…

Hint: don’t count on Congress, the Supreme Court, the Constitution, or the military — “Stand back and stand by” was the message Trump had for the white supremacists and militia groups he was asked to condemn during last night’s debate. That didn’t sound like a condemnation to me. It sounded like a command. And last week, when asked whether he’d commit to a peaceful…
