Please listen to the activists who have been right about this the whole time. The last thing you want to do for the next six months is listen to anything Donald Trump says about abortion. All of it will be lies. All of it is meant to confuse. All of
Our victory is a victory for anyone who fights to protect our freedoms. Two special elections this week returned majority control of Michigan’s state house to Democrats. With our “trifecta” restored, we’re back in the democracy business. And one of the very first things Democrats want to do
And because it targets poor women in the South almost no one cares. We’re often told that the biggest threats speech faces in our society is either opinionated college students or “DEI,” which happen to be two of the right-wing’s favorite targets. Conservatives constantly scream about their speech
The one sentence of Project 2025 every American needs to read. What is the point of publishing a 920-page prescription of policies for “the next conservative president?” The Republican establishment – led by The Heritage Foundation, which brought together dozens of right-wing organizations to plot Project 2025 – is determined to not
Best-selling historian Carol Anderson explains how voting rights are inseparable from reproductive rights. Two Supreme Court decisions issued almost exactly nine years apart help explain both how American democracy became so imperiled, and how we can save it.

It makes sense why MAGA needs to cover up Trump’s weaknesses. So why is the press so interested in helping Republicans? No one has made a closer study of the ways Donald Trump turns words into weapons than Dr. Jennifer Mercieca. The author of “Demagogue for President: The Rhetorical
This is not a confession. I’m pretty sure that I didn’t kill Andrew Breitbart. But there was a time where I thought I might have. Now, I’m pretty sure such things are impossible. I don’t even think that someone like Andrew Breitbart can even die, even
Ari Berman has been exposing the GOP War on Voting since 2011. Now he’s back with a new book about the greatest threat to our democracy – MINORITY RULE. I have to apologize to Ari Berman. You've certainly should know Ari's work exposing the "GOP
