The justices seem to think that the power they apparently just handed Donald Trump can’t be used against them someday. Right.

Even in red states, majorities of voters back abortion rights and other things the GOP is against. So why do they keep voting Republican?

It’s not too early to start gaming out scenarios. They range from bleak to hideous.

Trump’s daughter-in-law will be his eyes and ears at the Republican National Committee. But there’s a lot more to it than that.

It’s not surprising that the people at Trump’s rallies are normal and polite. Their good manners have nothing to do with the toxic ideology they endorse.

This year, more than 200 anti-transgender bills have already been filed in the states. They are extreme. And many will pass.

Trump keeps cranking up the Nazi-esque rhetoric because his supporters are eating it up.

The Alabama senator’s shenanigans are bad enough in the here and now. But what happens when a President Trump can stack the Pentagon with loyalists?

We do have reason to fear what comes next. But what’s happening right now is concerning enough.

Are we really going to shoot on sight people merely suspected of smuggling drugs? Their “proposals” are solely about appealing to the base’s worst instincts.

There’s no way the polls should be close. But they are. Way close. And remember—the pollsters have underestimated Trump twice before.

What’s happening in Israel right now is a cautionary tale for the United States.

G’bye, NATO. G’bye, “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” repeal. G’bye, democracy. He’s telling us plain as day. Why aren’t people listening?

The court once held that the Civil Rights Act trumped religious freedom. After these recent decisions, that’s over. The consequences could be enormous.

It is illegal in some states for transgender people to make public presentations that would be perfectly legal for cisgender people.

He means a world in which Putin is on top and abandoned U.S. allies potentially start arming themselves with nukes. Some “peace.”

Take 330 million people, 400 million guns, and a media that induces paranoia and glorifies gun violence, and, well, what do you expect?

The laws proposed around the country by Republicans would make life for transgender people functionally impossible. The danger is in being under-wrought, not overwrought.

There are more unregistered guns in this country than are possessed by the Pentagon, DHS, and police departments combined. And Republicans want more of them.

Red states are passing laws to advance their culture war. Blue states are passing laws to stop it. The Supreme Court is going to have to decide, and there is no compromise position.
