During an angry, vitriolic July 12 speech, former Florida State Rep. Sabatini not only called for defunding federal law enforcement, but also, for abolishing public education in Florida and going to a private-schools-only system. And he wants to "extinguish the left."Countless MAGA Republicans and p...

The Heritage Foundation influenced the free-market policies of Ronald Reagan. Now it's just trying to stay relevant in the age of Trump and DeSantis.

It's white identity politics.

Last week, Joe Biden announced executive action to forgive up to $20,000 of debt and end predatory interest for millions of Americans. In response, many Republican leaders, like Tate Reeves, the governor of Mississippi, attacked gender studies majors: Today Biden will announce that welders, plumber...

The greatest threat to Donald Trump’s hold on the Republican Party may be his Florida neighbor.

State policies in eight different policy domains, including gun safety, labor and tobacco, are associated with U.S. working-age mortality, according to a new study published this week in the open-access journal PLOS ONE by Jennifer Karas Montez of Syracuse University, US, and colleagues. They note that more conservative state policies were generally associated with higher mortality.

Two terrible rhetorical tendencies in American politics now feed off each other and drag us all into the abyss.

Kyle Rittenhouse’s trial ends in acquittal. The moral questions it raised linger.

After four days of deliberations, a jury acquitted 18-year old Kyle Rittenhouse on all charges related to his killing of two protesters in Kenosha, Wisconsin on August 25, 2020.  That night, thousands had hit the streets to protest the August 23rd police shooting of Jacob Blake, who was left paralyzed after being shot in the back seven times by Kenosha city police officers. Rittenhouse traveled from his home state of Illinois to join a right-wing militia at the protest. Rittenhouse was charged with five felonies including first degree intentional homicide. He argued that he acted in self-defense when he fired his semi-automatic rifle, killing Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, and injuring Gaige Grusskreutz. The court proceedings were riddled with unusual moves on the part of Judge Bruce Schroeder, who had Rittenhouse draw the names of jurors to be designated as alternates in a game show-style raffle tumbler.

How conservative politicians and pundits became fixated on an academic approach

Jurors are asked to uphold the law as it stands. We don’t ask jurors to make the law. That’s on us.

As many Americans feared that freeing Rittenhouse seemed to legitimize political violence, Republicans competed for the honor of offering him a job.

The cases are different, but the results illustrate larger disparities about what we consider self-defense
