This is a new low in the use of the shadow docket. The Court blocked a lower court ruling on the so called "interim docket" (as conservatives call it). Then, quietly issued a final judgement without allowing us to even brief the merits appeal. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I abhor violence. Unlike the president, I have never celebrated the death of others nor incited a violent mob to ransack the Capitol. I have dedicated my life to fighting for free and fair elections through lawful means: organizing, protests and litigation. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/i-wi...

The media's insistence that Trump's critics are part of the problem gives cover to false equivalence — treating his lawlessness as one side of a legitimate debate.

The controversial weed killer Roundup is now being deployed in private and public forests at record rates. We go inside the secret plan that helped make it possible.

Didn't Melania's husband mock the Pope, post blasphemous content, threaten genocide, ridicule and threaten the press, and engage in an illegal, unwinnable war with Iran -- all of that in the past month? Very offensive, divisive, and hateful.

Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates. Yes: While you paid your taxes in full, giant corporations maneuvered to pay as little as possible — and it’s all perfectly legal for them. The system is rigged.

Trump suggested his Iran military strike may have been driven in part by claims that the country interfered in the 2020 and 2024 elections. Now, experts warn a dangerous plan is coming into view: he's using a war to claim a national emergency that enables him to control the midterms.
