Having whipped its base into a violent frenzy, the GOP now wants you to believe it wants to heal the nation.

He’s an immediate threat to America, and yet Democratic leaders are showing little urgency.

If Congress doesn’t, they’ll try this again.

The Texas senator claims to be moved by the spirit of 1876, but he’s just another huckster playing a risky game with democracy.

Why are Republicans so sure the outgoing president won’t run again in 2024?

Thanks to gerrymandering, Congress’ lower chamber is a distorted representation of the American people. Here’s a remedy.

The Senate majority leader is poisoning a bipartisan effort to increase stimulus checks to $2,000—and foreshadowing his tactics under a Biden administration.

If Trump had been just 10 percent more competent, he might not have lost the White House.

If Ted Cruz and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have the same complaint, then things must be really broken.

It’s looking as if Joe Biden might not follow in the footsteps of his supereffective predecessor. Sad!

The attorney general could not deliver the corrupt boons the president sought, but it was not for want of trying.

Who says the president-elect isn’t a political innovator?

The president’s raggedy gang of dead-enders are still pressing for the election to be overturned in increasingly extravagant ways.

Good governance and political ethics have taken a beating in recent decades, but Peach State voters will have the chance to reverse that trend.

Under cover of Covid-19, the high court’s conservative bloc is dreaming up some radical ideas about religious freedom and public health.

Donald Trump is taking lame-duck pardons to obscene new levels, but he had a boost from his predecessors.

Trump may not be able to extend his reign, but he can aid and abet his party by further curtailing the right to vote.

The president’s attempts to undo the election result have largely been a farce, but the lasting damage to our civic fabric is no laughing matter.

A jury spared Calvin McMillan’s life, but a judge sentenced him to death anyway. Will the Roberts court save or condemn him?

The South Carolina senator seems determined to go down in history as the ultimate Trump dead-ender.
