If America is becoming a monarchy, it's not Trump who's king.

The prosecution of the Patriots owner, and his recent legal victories, reveal deep flaws in the U.S. criminal justice system.

Not yet, anyway. And American democracy faces a bigger problem than Trump's abuses of power.

The internet-savvy entrepreneur has some good ideas—and some questionable ones.

Cities are increasingly punishing people who have nowhere to go—and few Americans, including Democrats, seem to care.

Trump absolved a former soldier who was convicted of murdering an Iraqi man. It's not the only time the president was swayed by Fox News.

John Kelly is the latest former official to cash in on his experience working for a corrupt and immoral administration.

With the Russia investigation over, and an obsequious attorney general in his corner, the president may be truly unleashed.

After Attorney General Bill Barr’s misleading portrayal of the Russia investigation, it's critical that the special counsel testify to Congress.

What the sentencing of Tiffany Moss, who starved her stepdaughter to death, tells us about capital punishment in 2019

Another four years of Trump will widen the conservative tilt of the Supreme Court. So why aren't the Democratic candidates talking about it?

The former vice president has been renouncing much of his past, leaving little of his record to run on.

The president's actions this week are accomplishing what Democrats have failed to do.

This term, the conservative justices are dreaming up alternate realities to justify their preordained conclusions.

The White House is normalizing foreign interference in American democracy, all but encouraging it to happen again.

The underlings who resisted his abuses of power have since left the administration.

Robert Mueller's report makes a convincing case that Trump attempted to abuse his power. Why didn't the special counsel charge him, then?

The release of the Mueller report is a moment of truth not only for the attorney general, but his loyal deputy, too.

Yes, French politics and society are in turmoil. But there's a simpler lesson from the cathedral's burning.

A relatively narrow indictment leaves critics to wonder if the threat to press freedom fits the crime.
