Sen. Mitch McConnell is Kentucky's shame

Sen. Mitch McConnell is Kentucky's shame

Nothing matters. It's been hard to avoid that feeling the past few years. It doesn't matter if our president brags about assaulting women, uses the White House to enrich his businesses, pays off a porn star, hires his children, praises and hires white supremacists, colludes with Russia, puts children in cages, blows up the deficit, overturns the precedents and protocols that ...

Impeaching Trump: necessary response to abuse of power

It has been clear for some time that President Donald Trump would be impeached.

Boris Johnson's Christmases all arrive at once

Boris Johnson dramatically altered the landscape of British politics on Thursday night, ending a period of debilitating parliamentary gridlock and three years of uncertainty over Brexit. In doing so, the U.K. prime minister gave himself what his predecessor Theresa May could never have: the political space to define his country's departure from the European Union and address ...

Trump's most dangerous behavior on Ukraine

Democrats wrong on big-tech solutions

From Elizabeth Warren to Tulsi Gabbard, the Democratic presidential candidates have come out strong for breaking up big tech. It has become a central focus of Warren's campaign, which has caused business leaders like Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg to voice concern, and the fight over big tech within the Democratic Party presidential primaries has bled into the courts.

Fix unfair trade-war farm bailouts

Washington is one of America's most trade-reliant states, so President Donald Trump's ongoing trade negotiations have brought broad economic uncertainty.
