    Donald Trump looks out the window of a prison, surrounded by a barbed-wire topped wall. Two people stand outside, saying "Finally, Trump has his wall."

    Should Congress Honor Trump with a Medal, a Statue or … What?

    Columnists Jim Hightower - 0

    Here’s a member of Congress with too much time on his hands … and way too little of anything on his mind. Rep.

    The Squad Could Use Some Quality Control

    Columnists Froma Harrop - 0

    Jamaal Bowman’s loss was the Democrats’ gain. A member of the left fringe Squad, his primary defeat removes at least one irritant to the Democrats’ quest to take control of the House.

    Is This Really The Best We Can Do?

    Columnists Susan Estrich - 0

    It was painful to watch. Two men vying for the most important job in the world. And neither of them making the cut. Trump was Trump — just as expected, bragging and blustering, lying and threatening, refusing to say he would accept the results of the election, defending the Jan. 6 rioters. It is no […]

    A veteran in a wheelchair sits under a banner reading "The Battle For Freedom" as a crowd of people sits in front of him. He says "We had to take the beach under fire. Half of us died - you just have to go out and vote on November 5."

    Older Voters May Rescue the Democracy

    Featured Froma Harrop - 0

    The mystery of why older voters are polling strongly for Joe Biden is not a mystery at all. True, they tend to be conservative and have traditionally preferred Republican presidential candidates. White voters over 65 voted for Donald Trump in both 2016 and 2020. The reason these conservative voters appear to be for Biden this […]
