How do I know Hegseth’s order to deny access to bases to members of Congress is about a cover up, not about safety? Because I asked for a military briefing at the embassy as a substitute and was told the policy prohibited military leaders in the region from even talking to me.

What does a sniper position at Memorial Circle actually defend against? Not China. Not a submarine. Not a missile. It overlooks a bridge, a traffic circle, and the front door of the National Mall. Those are places where Americans march. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

If there’s even a small issue with a single ballot-like a woman changed her name upon getting married-the USPS system could disenfranchise 10,000 voters Allegedly, the point of this is to stop cheats. But there haven’t been anywhere near 10,000 cases of fraud in the entire history of mail in voting

When you’re too stupid to realize that universal healthcare is about providing healthcare to people for free (other than their taxes), not making doctors work without compensation.

Every time a non-white woman in Dem politics delivers a less-than-pitch-perfect line—if they even briefly hesitate while speaking off-the-cuff about a nuanced issue—it becomes a major story about their intelligence, and meanwhile every single Trump appointee talks like this all day long.

The vandalism and desecration of the White House isn't just vanity and it's not trivial. It's caesarism, as in literally what Julius Caesar did to the symbolic architecture of civic republicanism. Our national iconography matters and allowing the disfiguring of it to persist is a substantive harm.

There are only three possible futures: a) everyone in the Trump admin goes to jail, rule of law partially restored; b) Dems retaliate in full, and maybe that's a deterrent; c) neither (a) nor (b), so lawless authoritarianism wins again, and when Republicans regain power they ramp it up even more.

Trump shattered ethics norms. Will voters trust Democrats to fix them?
Democrats are making the case that now is the time to tackle anti-corruption reforms — to serve as a check on Donald Trump and to overhaul a system voters say is co-opted against their interests.
