• Ctrl+Alt+Del: I can’t quit PlayStation – Steam on Xbox won’t change that

    OPINION: I've been a "PlayStation gamer" since around halfway through the PS3 and Xbox 360 generation when I decided to ditch my 360 for Sony's offering. But, like many I suspect, I'm questioning the value that the PlayStation 5 offers. I don't know what may finally make me switch, but it won't be Steam coming to Xbox.

  • Delusional Senate Republicans still believe they can control Trump

    Most GOP senators have fallen in line with Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign to return to the White House, starting from the top with Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. They’re with him despite everything, including Jan. 6 when he unleashed a mob on the Capitol that threatened their physical safety, if not their lives.  But they are hanging on to the pretense that they’ll be able to constrain him by continuing to refuse to nuke the filibuster for him, something Trump demanded when he was in the White...

  • Calmes: Donald Trump inspires yet another profile in cowardice

    A kerfuffle in Grand Rapids, Mich., in recent days revealed a grim truth about America’s institutions in these troubled times: Too many of them lack the courage to stand up to the threat to democracy that is Donald Trump, thereby contributing to the alarming staying power of the once and perhaps future president. We already know about the failure of the main institutional players in this constitutional crisis: those atop the Republican Party. “Political parties are democracy’s gatekeepers,”...

  • ‘We can’t stop doing that’: Cubs drop another crazy game in Arizona

    PHOENIX -- It was déjà vu all over again. Again. Last September, the Cubs visited Arizona for a series of wild, consequential games. In one, Chicago nearly rallied from down six runs in the ninth inning. In another, the two teams traded extra-inning blows until Arizona finally prevailed in the

  • Kevin McCarthy's trying to create a legacy, but he can’t give up Trump

    The least successful House speaker in history—the only one to be ousted—is taking time out of his revenge agenda to take a stab at rewriting history to somehow make himself the hero.

With Kevin McCarthy.” Politico reports that despite that title, at “a time when both Democrats and Republicans—for very different reasons—warn that ‘democracy is on the ballot’ in 2024, he didn’t seem to have that level of concern about...
