When Biden Gets Some Traction
From the CenterIt turns out that Joe Biden is, politically speaking, alive.
After months of Democratic handwringing over their leader’s falling poll numbers, paralyzed legislative agenda and low-energy public appearances, the president has put together a small winning streak. Passing even a massively-diminished health and climate bill was the big ticket victory, but substantial

ABC’s David Wright Admits Network Doesn’t Care About News
In a newly released Project Veritas video, footage reveals ABC Correspondent David Wright admitting the network doesn’t care about newsworthy stories.
“I feel terrible about it. I feel that the truth suffers, the voters are poorly informed, and people also have the opportunity to tune into whatever they want to hear,” Wright said. “And so, it’s like there’s no upside, or our bosses don’

When the Democrats Try to Get Tough On Crime
From the CenterTwo summers ago, in the aftermath of the tragic deaths of George Floyd and Breanna Taylor, a series of peaceful protests and less-peaceful riots gave birth to the “Defund the Police” rallying cry. Since then, Republicans have worked earnestly to affix that slogan to every Democratic candidate, and most Democrats have worked just as tirelessly to distance themselves from it

It’s Good That Joe Rogan Endorsed Bernie. Now We Have to Organize.
One of the world’s most popular podcasters has said that he’ll “probably vote for Bernie Sanders.” He went on to say some glowing things about Senator Sanders’s consistency and integrity. Unsurprisingly, the Sanders campaign celebrated the moment by tweeting out the clip.
Why wouldn’t it? While Sanders, Tulsi Gabbard, and Andrew Yang have appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan has

When the World Pays Attention to Kansas
From the CenterThe biggest contest in this year’s midterm elections is not between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, or between either man and their growing number of detractors within their respective parties. It’s not a faceoff between Nancy Pelosi and Kevin McCarthy or between Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer. Rather, the most important political battle this fall will be between inflation and

On a Saturday afternoon in October 1990, Senator Pete V. Domenici turned from a conversation on the Senate floor, caught the eye of a clerk by raising his right hand and voted in favor of a huge and contentious bill to reduce federal deficits.

When the FBI Gives Trump an Early Christmas Gift
From the CenterAttorney General Merrick Garland is ostentatiously apolitical. He has made it clear since his appointment that he does not see himself as a partisan advocate, and last week’s historic events demonstrate that Garland is not even slightly interested in whether his decisions unite or divide the country. His job is to prosecute crimes.
But it’s our job here to analyze the

Is Hillary Running for Bill’s Third Term?
When Hillary Clinton announces her candidacy on Sunday, the Republicans will no doubt redouble their efforts to make the case that a vote for Hillary is a vote for Barack Obama’s third term—and the GOP believes no one wants that, for Pete’s sake. Clinton’s campaign, by contrast, will almost certainly make a very different case: If they vote for her, Americans will be getting something far

When China Matters Even More Than Usual
From the CenterAs Russia’s war on Ukraine enters its sixth month, as our country’s domestic policy debates over inflation, immigration and abortion intensify, and as the multi-episode spellbinder that the January 6 hearings have become breaks for a summer intermission, even the most attentive American voter could be excused for not spending very much time thinking about China. But that’s
