I’ve been off for two weeks on account of a family visit to Italy. It was a time to relax — and also, to reflect. The trip was one part pure vacation; the other a roots tour.

These five laws exemplify the framework that disinformation falls into so that we may understand how incredibly harmful it can become.

From a gun-wielding Missouri candidate for Senate saying that he will hunt down RINOs, to the Texas GOP writing a platform with a rigid list of stances, the GOP may be a brand that is meandering way too far outside the mainstream of American politics.

Most Democrats think that abortion should be legal while Republicans think that it should be illegal. But it was not always this way – at the time of the Roe v. Wade decision in 1973, partisan differences were small.

This is a community that respects life, is law-abiding, and is a great place to raise a family as my wife and I have done since the mid-1970s. It felt like a bad dream – a science fiction movie – and continues to feel surreal when I think about it. But it was real.

When a so-called solution to inflation involves making countless workers and their families worse off, it is not a solution. It’s just cruel.

The Supreme Court’s recent decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization was clearly a judicial and social earthquake.

For 40 years, Republicans treated every election as though Roe v. Wade itself was on the ballot, while too many Democrats, so often caught up in one internecine feud or another, failed to grasp the urgency of the moment.

If Trump was indeed “willfully ignorant,” Attorney General Merrick Garland and the DOJ have a legal roadmap for indicting the 45th President of the United States.

As Congress appears poised to pass the first major gun legislation in a generation, swing voters in Arizona remain doubtful it will have much impact on preventing gun violence.
