The 2020 Election May Be the Most Secure in U.S. History
The last few weeks have had little precedent in the history of American democracy. President Donald Trump repeatedly warned that the election will be full of fraud, and he refused to pledge to leave office peacefully if he loses. Just last week, the Department of Justice added to concerns about election meddling when it partially reversed its long-standing policy of noninterference in

Supreme Court Fights Are What Republican Majorities Are For
If there ever was a time to do what’s right, this is it.
There are times, in politics, for taking half a loaf. There are times for banking your winnings. There are times for retreating to defensible ground. There are times for building political capital for the future. There are even times for taking counsel of your fears. But a political party that never, ever tries to deliver on its

Impeachment Case Aims to Marshal Outrage of Capitol Attack Against Trump
When House impeachment managers prosecute former President Donald J. Trump this week for inciting the Capitol attack, they plan to mount a fast-paced, cinematic case aimed at rekindling the outrage lawmakers experienced on Jan. 6.

Progressives Are No Longer Defenders of Free Expression
Ahalf-century ago, progressives used to push limitless free expression, blasting conservatives for their allegedly blinkered traditionalism. They boasted of obliterating once-normal boundaries in art, music, and literature to allow nudity, profanity, sexuality, and anti-American boilerplate.
Now?
The Left is Victorian — increasingly puritanical, regressive, and hypersensitive.

U.S. newsrooms are very white. So are the critics and the journalists that cover them.

Sorry, America. Vaccines won’t end the pandemic anytime soon.
With more than 240,000 Americans dead from the COVID virus and far more hospitalized, our country is desperate for a vaccine that prevents serious cases. Billions of dollars in taxpayer money are being spent to put a stop to the virus, yet drug companies are using predominantly mild cases that produce cold-like symptoms, not infections or serious cases, to test the efficacy of their vaccines.

The Payoffs and Perils of Mass Vaccinations for Children
Vaccinating young people can mean an end to the pandemic, health officials and providers say. But requiring the shots threatens to provoke resistance and distrust.
Instead of launching directly into case, death and hospitalization tallies, the White House COVID-19 task force briefing began this week with a personal plea from senior adviser Andy Slavitt, whose son is suffering from long-
