Julian Assange’s Arrest Should Worry Anyone Who Cares About Freedom of the Press
Julian Assange’s strange seven-year residence in Ecuador’s London embassy has ended, and Assange, thanks to the American president he helped elect, is now in British custody facing a US extradition request.

OPINION: The case for all-out war against Gorsuch
Senate Democrats are wobbling on whether to filibuster President Trump's nominee for the Supreme Court, Neil Gorsuch.
