In a less benighted time, we might have confidently said, “Hell yes. That’s not the America I know. The America I know overcharges everyone for prescription drugs, regardless of their gender identity or sexual orientation.” But MAGA has...

    It’s Time For GOP To Unite Behind Trump Authored by Bernie Marcus via RealClear Wire, For the first time in my 94 years on earth, I fear for the future of our democracy. I see the federal government using its enormous powers with contempt for the governed instead of with the consent of the governed as our founders envisioned. Fundamental change in America is occurring by executive order or the force of the government’s police powers instead of through the legislative process...

  • Trump’s warnings of violence must not be ignored

    Yesterday, Trump tried to walk back his Saturday warning in Dayton of a “blood bath” if he is not reelected, saying he was just warning of a “blood bath” in store for the auto industry if his proposed 100 percent tariff on Chinese cars isn’t enacted. Rubbish.

An announcer asked the crowd to...

    North Carolina ballot to feature a growing number of GOP radicals

    In 2020, Joe Biden narrowly missed capturing North Carolina’s 16 electoral votes, losing the state by a slim 1.4-percentage-point margin. But that was nearly four years ago. Before the Dobbs decision. Before Donald Trump’s 91 felony indictments. And before last week, when the state’s GOP voters nominated a guy—who favorably quotes Hitler, has compared LGBTQ+ people to insects and larvae, and thinks a six-week abortion ban isn’t quite extreme enough—for governor. Tar Heel State Republicans also...
