Our democratic republic has been bought by special interests and billionaires. Because of it, we are less safe, less healthy, and financially poorer.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Senator John Kennedy's choice to start playing an ignorant hick when he became a Republican tells you *everything* you need to know about what this Oxford-educated man thinks about Republican voters.

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

At a time when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction. But not Jack Smith. Kudos to him for continuing to be a much needed voice of clarity.

Norway produces more oil than Venezuela. And yet, between January and August 2026, electric vehicles made up 97.8 percent of all new cars sold in that country. Moving to EVs is often based on intelligence, not need. Which is why it lags in the notoriously short-sighted and stupid United States.

Who could’ve foreseen that after the Supreme Court gave Trump immunity from prosecution for committing crimes while in office he would commit lots of crimes while in office?

That's how this big government bureaucracy is going to keep millions of eligible voters from voting, nearly all because they have foreign or black sounding names. By the time they can prove they are citizens the election will be over. This is all very well planned, no accidents in US politics.

The vicious and corrupt cycle of monopolization: 1) Corporations argue that their growth is just part of the free market. 2) Use their monopoly power to price gouge consumers and shaft workers. 3) Use profits to make political donations. 4) Lobby against antitrust enforcement. 5) Repeat.

Sen. Susan Collins cast the pivotal vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh in 2018. He then helped overturn Roe v. Wade four years later. Now she’s battling for her Senate seat in the midterms, and abortion rights groups are betting that voters haven’t forgotten how she contributed to the fall of Roe.

Susan Collins was at the center of a major bribery probe for steering millions in contracts to a company whose CEO illegally funneled thousands to her campaign. Then Trump took office and gutted the FBI and DOJ units investigating her. Is this what "being moderate" looks like?

As an American political historian, I can confirm that this Congress has been "almost unmatched in history" in several categories -- sad abdication of its war powers, craven surrender of the power of the purse, weird refusal to conduct meaningful oversight, and an utter failure to pass actual laws.
