A nation we build together is worth fighting for—and it’s on the ballot.

The renowned activist has been fighting for abortion rights since the 1960s. She talked with TNR editor Michael Tomasky about what we must do now to fight for reproductive freedom.

The story is much larger than a potential conflict in one Supreme Court case. All six conservative justices lied in their confirmation hearings. What will Democrats do about that?

She allegedly voted for Brett Kavanaugh because he convinced her that he wouldn’t overturn Roe v. Wade. That makes her either a liar or the most gullible person in the Senate.

The fact that Congress may not respond to another devastating school shooting is down to the GOP’s ability to skillfully avert the will of the people.

In this TNR Live discussion, editor Michael Tomasky and three panelists discuss threats to democracy—from Trump 2024 to the crumbling international order.

The Michigan state senator’s floor speech against Republican attacks went viral. Now she’s determined to turn the state blue.

It’s a lot easier to be the party that wants to break government than it is to be the one that wants to use it.

The special prosecutor that former Attorney General Bill Barr left behind has stunk up the DOJ for far too long.

Now Republicans swear they’re going to address mental health. How dumb do they think the American people are?

That CPAC held an event in Budapest is just brain-melting. And yet our media barely paid attention. This is how democracy dies.

The author of “American Fascism” on the relationship between our rigged political system and abortion, same-sex marriage, and contraceptive rights.

The gunman was angry about “replacement theory.” Gee, where do we think he might have first heard about that?

Democrats need to see to it that McConnell’s remark about Congress possibly passing a federal abortion ban is known to every single American voter.

Dumping the Iowa caucuses presents an opportunity for a fresh rethink of the whole process. Which apparently is something the Democratic National Committee doesn’t have the guts to do.

Conservatives predicted a red wave in local elections in the Badger State earlier this month. The results were more mixed, proving the dog whistles don’t always work.

Our democracy is teetering, and there are not two sides to this issue.

One of Russia’s leading independent journalists speaks with editor Michael Tomasky about the decision to shutter the celebrated TV Rain.

Democrats have a path to keeping control of the Senate, but it’s a treacherous, multistate tightrope walk that they’ll have to execute perfectly.
