OPINION: How the legal battle for the full Mueller report could play out

OPINION: The Progressive Revolution: From Democratic to Liberal to Progressive to Socialist
Obama kick-started a cycle that moves ever farther left — even he now seems passé.
Americans voted for Barack Obama in 2008 despite, not because of, his most partisan voting record in the Senate. They were once willing to look past his earlier dubious associations with abject anti-Semites such as the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, former terrorists like Bill Ayers, and unhinged characters

Jeffrey Epstein’s Death and Our Age of Conspiracy Theories
One tragedy of the billionaire sex offender’s death is that it will make it harder to argue against the paranoia that is increasingly consuming our politics. Anyone who’s watched a courtroom TV drama has heard the phrase “Hard cases make bad law.” It’s a legal maxim that says really extreme — i.e., rare or weird — cases are not only hard to generalize from, they’re also a bad foundation for

Understanding Democrats' March Toward Electoral Defeat
After months of false starts and threats and endless posturing, Donald Trump has joined Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton as the third American president impeached by the House of Representatives.
