“I’ve personally received more doses of a Covid-19 vaccine than 130 countries,” Dr. Craig Spencer writes, about the two vaccine shots he recently got as an emergency room doctor.

The Biden/Harris Inauguration: When the Wall Becomes a Door
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris leapt into action after taking the oath of office on Wednesday.

Color, COVID and the Coup
President Donald Trump’s second impeachment was swift and decisive, just one week after he incited a violent white supremacist mob attack on the U.S. Capitol that left five dead, including a Capitol Police officer.

Trump’s Insurrection Requires His Immediate Removal
Congress convened Wednesday to perform the largely ceremonial counting of Electoral College votes and to declare Joe Biden the winner of the 2020 presidential election.

Trump Rightly Vetoes Pentagon Budget, for the Wrong Reasons
President Trump raised hackles in Congress last week with his veto of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

Climate Chaos Amidst the Pandemic: 5 Years After Paris

Lines. Lines at food pantries stretch block after block through urban neighborhoods. In suburban and rural America, lines of cars are miles long, as people suffering from hunger and food insecurity, many for the first time, wait hours for a box of groceries. Lines at COVID-19 testing sites grow, as… »
Lost Causes, from the Confederacy to Trump
President Donald Trump has embarked on a lost cause akin to that embraced by Southerners after the Confederacy was crushed.
