America's democratic norms are slowly being eroded. Unless Democrats do something to stop this autocratic power grab, we're all screwed.

Democrats are willing to criticize the president's handling of COVID and Afghanistan, while Republicans refuse to disagree with Donald Trump.

We're watching the implosion of the Supreme Court in real time

The Supreme Court is having a credibility crisis as fewer and fewer Americans believe that it is a nonpartisan, unbiased institution.

It's clear that Congress and the Supreme Court won't stem the tide of anti-voting rights laws. The fight is going to have to come at the state level.

14 House GOP members just revealed themselves as modern segregationists

The 14 House GOP members who voted against making Juneteenth a holiday should be treated as pariahs.

Politics for the GOP is no longer about conservative ideology — it's about cancel culture.

My latest in @BusinessInsider: Joe Manchin is frustrating, but he's also something #Democrats need to get anything done this year: a winner. businessinsider.com/democrat…

Democrats can learn something from the most powerful Joe in Washington

Sen. Joe Manchin is the deciding Senate vote and the most powerful "Joe" in DC. He may frustrate some progressives, but he's also a great example.

The GOP is pushing to pass a slew of laws that will make it harder to vote — especially for minorities and working Americans. This can't stand.

Democrats need to get serious about new ideas to transform the Supreme Court

Adding seats to the Supreme Court is easier than one might think. But if that doesn't work, Dems should appoint a younger Justice to the court.

The #filibuster is a tradition, not a constitutional requirement. Just sayin' @businessinsider businessinsider.com/joe-manc…

Sen. Joe Manchin on ending the filibuster: 'Jesus Christ, what don't you understand about 'never'?'

The filibuster means that 60 votes are needed to pass most legislation in the Senate.

Biden and the Democrats have already addressed many big crises facing the country, but one needs his immediate attention: guns.
