George Washington was elected 236 years ago. Since, there have been 59 presidential elections (including this coming November). Washington could have been president for life but opted for returning home to Virginia and life as a private citizen. He established a pattern for the presidency that has served the nation well.
Just as parts of the world are becoming uninhabitable and nearly half the U.S. is under an extreme heat advisory, extremists on the Supreme Court have decided they know more about climate change than scientists and meteorologists.
Federalist judges claim to loathe judicial activism.
I love the “for Dummies” book series. They can teach an old dog new tricks without making the old dog feel stupid, although, I admit, “Get out of debt for dummies” wasn’t all that useful. (Turns out one must spend less than one earns; if they had just written that on the cover, I’d be $18.79 closer to my financial goals.)
In 2017, a man with bump stock-enhanced rifles perched himself at a Las Vegas hotel window, trained his crosshairs on thousands of concert-goers below, murdered 60 people, and permanently maimed hundreds more.
As a relapsed Catholic and long in the tooth federal trial lawyer, I am more familiar with Samuel Alito’s religious nuttery than I want to be. I certainly didn’t need any more proof that his jurisprudence — as well as his misogyny — has deep Catholic roots, but last week filmmaker Lauren Windsor brought the receipts anyway.
Donald Trump’s felony convictions are fueling another disinformation campaign, this one equal in destructive force to his Big Lie. Orchestrating a unified response reminiscent of Germany in the 1930s, House Speaker Mike Johnson and his Trump acolytes are weaving Trump’s criminality into a false indictment of the American legal system.
In the 1850s, British naturalist Charles Darwin proposed the theory of evolution by natural selection. In his book, “On the Origin of Species,” Darwin presented years of data, notations he’d made while observing plants and animals in their natural habitats.
As soon as fossil-fuel financed Donald Trump was sworn into office, he got busy destroying the nation’s climate progress. In June 2017, Trump announced that the U.S. would withdraw from the Paris Treaty, shamefully walking away from a global commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the only signatory country in the world to do so.
