Remember how the former president’s chaotic White House was a profitable sugar rush for the mainstream press? It was a river of garbage for everyone else.

The Russian strongman has yet to topple Ukraine, but he’s conquered the GOP.

Republicans lost a big ballot initiative fight in Ohio this week, but their war against voters is destined to continue.

Their complaints are bad faith attempts to normalize misinformation and conspiracy theories.

Daniel Penny takes his place in conservatives’ growing pantheon of violent “heroes.”

The biggest tension in the GOP primary isn’t between Trump and DeSantis.

Years after the riot at the Capitol, right-wing figures like Tucker Carlson and Kevin McCarthy are still waging—and winning—the information war on the hearts and minds of the GOP base.

Democratic lawmakers have a golden opportunity to distinguish themselves from Kevin McCarthy’s army of weirdos.

A deep examination of the Florida governor’s policy portfolio reveals little that suggests he’s a “moderate” alternative to Trump.

With the party likely to cede the House—if not the Senate—to the GOP, meaningful steps to limit some of the executive branch’s power must be taken during the lame-duck session.

On a night when things mostly went right for the party, the Empire State’s liberal leaders will be left to rue their costly errors and campaign struggles.

The party may have spent the midterms meddling in GOP primaries to boost its preferred opponents, but it’s not planning on playing that game in the 2024 presidential race.

His run-in with the DOJ may not land him in prison, but it has the potential to sap his political power when he needs it the most.

Firearm manufacturers enjoy many legal protections from civil litigation, but gun-control advocates have found weaknesses that can be exploited.

The anti-abortion movement once recoiled at the former president’s assertion that women should be punished for having abortions. It’s since started to embrace his way of thinking.

The Senate parliamentarian normally flies under the radar, but she now holds the Democrats’ ambitious plans in her hands.
