The House speaker’s comments wrecked one of the far right’s most ridiculous, reprehensible tropes.

Many prominent Republicans in competitive races are in full thrall to the deranged election denialism that Donald Trump has required of them.

It’s one message for MAGA-land and the opposite one for Jill Stein voters. And they just might get away with it.

Even as the judge’s latest moves show she’s carefully disguising her advocacy for Trump, he is making it clear that he expects her to save him.

The real story here is the way Trump is twisting select crimes to viciously smear undocumented immigrants across the board.

If they can try to turn the tragic Baltimore bridge collapse into a culture war, they’ll go anywhere—hurting their own people in the process.

No one’s heard of Nicole Shanahan, and few voters may hear a word she says. But her money is likely to do a whole lot of talking.

His eruption over President Biden’s attacks exposes one of the biggest vulnerabilities in his 2024 campaign.

The great replacement theory video that Musk pinned to the top of his feed is sick. And it shows that he’s turning X into a safe space for far-right propaganda.

The House speaker is open to a stand-alone vote on Ukraine aid. Marjorie Taylor Greene isn’t going to like that one bit.

The case against Trump is based on things that actually happened, while the case against Biden is based largely on inventions.

There was a lot of palaver about how courageous and patriotic they all are. But if you listened closely, there were also admissions that the way forward is very murky.

Biden’s SOTU pushback on MAGA anti-immigrant rhetoric was a start. But it can be more forceful still.

A small percentage of voters surveyed are familiar with Trump’s most overt authoritarian outbursts. That’s frightening. But it’s also an opportunity.

What percentage of voters know that Trump can cancel prosecutions of himself if he wins back the White House?

The Alabama decision revealed the full implications of “fetal personhood,” and Democrats are taking the fight to the states where they can win it.

When Joe Manchin passed on a third-party run, it opened a window on a behind-the-scenes campaign to stop the centrist group from enabling Donald Trump’s return to the White House.

Swing-district Republicans will learn the hard way: Facts still matter, and impeachments still need to be about something.

Trump killed the border deal, but Biden is getting blamed. Here’s what Democrats need to do to turn that around.

There are many ways the press could have played the Hur report in its news analyses. The path it chose suggests we’re stuck in 2016 again.
