How Racist Is Trump’s Republican Party?
Is the modern Republican Party built on race prejudice, otherwise known as racism?
Has it become, as Stuart Stevens — a media consultant with an exceptionally high win-loss record who was a lead strategist for George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004 — puts it, the “white grievance party”?

Why Is the Left Angry at Republicans Working to Elect Joe Biden?
Conservatives are always looking for converts, the old saying goes, while liberals are always looking for heretics. This would explain why so many of each are so angry right now.

When the Debate Turns From Coronavirus to Crime

When Two Parties Aren’t Enough For Some People
It is deeply frustrating for many Democrats that Dianne Feinstein and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are members of the same political party.

Are the Classics Racist?
To look at the marvels of Greece and Rome and see only ‘whiteness’ speaks to an obsession with race that is destructive and self-defeating.
It was only a matter of time before Cicero got canceled.

Senate Fails To Move Ahead With Keystone Pipeline and NSA Reform
As Dan wrote earlier this evening, the Keystone Pipeline vote went down in flames. Sen.
