Joe Manchin is wrecking the Senate climate change bill
Congress has spent months trying to cobble together a spending package that tackles the majority of President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better agenda in one go. As centrists have demanded that Biden and progressives lower the price tag of the reconciliation bill, the media, including me, have often been too focused on the $3.5 trillion price tag. This in turn has been to the detriment of the

Debt Math: Tax Cuts Are Not the Problem. Unsustainable Spending Is.

Educated voters’ leftward shift is surprisingly old and international
You could fill a small library with books on right-wing populism. Some authors argue that these movements emerged in reaction to relatively recent events, such as the financial crisis of 2007-09 or the advent of social media. Others look to longer-lasting regional trends, like European integration or racial politics in America.
Thomas Piketty, an economist, became famous for a book that

Here's Where Democrats and Republicans Agree on Crime
Americans across party lines are becoming increasingly concerned with rising crime rates and criminal justice reform. While many Democrats will point out that murder rates are rising disproportionately in red states, some Republicans will be quick to respond that violent crime rates are worse in blue cities. Not only do the two sides have different ideas about who is to blame, but they also

Trump attacks Biden hard in White House address accepting GOP nomination
President Trump attacked Joe Biden as a purveyor of a liberal agenda that would lead America to ruin in his address accepting the 2020 Republican presidential nomination from the White House on Thursday, seeking to present a contrast with the Democratic nominee as he trails him in the polls.

The Tax-Break Bonanza Inside the Economic Rescue Package
As the federal government dispenses trillions of dollars to save the economy, small businesses and out-of-work individuals are jostling to grab small slices of aid before the funds run out.
But another group is in no danger of missing out: wealthy individuals and big companies that are poised for tax windfalls.

9/11 anniversary: The attacks brought us together 20 years ago. Nothing can unite us now.
The 2000 election was so close that it came down to 537 votes in one state, so close that the Supreme Court ended up deciding who would be the next president – five weeks after the election.

The 1619 False-History Project
Imagine a Native American history curriculum that focused entirely on four massacres of Natives by whites — beginning with the first encounter between Spanish conquistadores and the Inca emperor Atahualpa and culminating with Wounded Knee — and never touched on American Indian life before 1491, the many Native military victories, or the roughly 5.2 million Natives alive in the U.S. today.
