A viciously xenophobic demagogue — who fomented an insurrection against the US government less than four years ago — is on track to win the White House this fall. And the only remotely viable alternative to him, for now, is a massively unpopular, geriatric Democrat who just advertised his inability to speak in complete sentences […] Read more ›

On Friday, the Supreme Court ruled that a federal law, providing that anyone who “obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding, or attempts to do so” commits a very serious federal crime, does not actually apply to everyone who obstructs, influences, or impedes an official proceeding. Worse, the Court does so in a case involving […] Read more ›

The Supreme Court handed down what is likely to be one of its most consequential modern-day decisions on Friday. Loper Bright Enterprises v.

There is no way to sugarcoat President Joe Biden’s debate performance on Thursday night: It was a disaster. He muttered, babbled, and failed to pounce on Donald Trump’s lies and threats to democracy.
