John Eastman has some wild-eyed ideas about “independent state legislature theory,” and he’s hoping the high court’s majority will be willing to play along next term.

Judge Aileen Cannon, whom Trump tapped for the federal bench in 2020, threw out the rules to boost his flimsy legal defense.

A lot of the administration’s plans have perished at the hands of the Supreme Court’s conservative bloc. But killing this debt-forgiveness program will be tricky.

The president made waves when he referred to the Trump-drunk GOP as “semi-fascist.” Republicans have earned it—and more.

Only the hardiest of souls can represent this former president. Are you up for the challenge?

Freya the Walrus was just living her best life in Norway until the local government decided she had to die.

After the Mar-a-Lago search, Trump’s allies were swift to jump into the breach on behalf of the former president. Beginner’s mistake!

Who will be the last person to die for Donald Trump’s mendacity?

The stakes are highest in states where the legislature and the governor’s mansion are held by different parties. How much will abortion rights motivate voters?

Conservatives are complaining that the FBI’s search of Mar-a-Lago was an egregious abuse of power. But the former president is just a Florida Man now.

The biggest takeaway from a long weekend of legislative action is that this is no way to run a country.

The Infowars host and conspiracy monger is getting exactly what he deserves. A jury this week hit him with $50 million in damages—and the punishment has only just begun.

The right-wing legal movement’s latest dangerous idea is “independent state legislature theory,” and the high court’s conservative bloc just might dream it into existence.

The DOJ is suing the state of Idaho over its recently passed ban.

He won’t rest until the Supreme Court enshrines religious freedom protections for a select minority of Americans—at the expense of everyone else.

The lawsuit is the latest chapter in the GOP’s legal war on LGBTQ rights.

The Hollywood-friendly church says its “religious arbitration” system—rather than civil courts—should apply to ex-members who say they were sexually assaulted by actor Danny Masterson. It hopes the Supreme Court agrees.

These are the exact same arguments that right-wingers used to attack abortion rights.

New documents reveal three useful insights into how Trump and his allies approach political power and the law.

The vote on the Respect for Marriage Act was good policy, and good politics.
