Is it possible to be loyal to Trump and preserve one’s integrity? There’s been a lot of discussion this past week about the meaning of integrity. You didn’t hear the word used directly; it was alluded to indirectly — in wondering whether Lindsey Graham was an immoral opportunist or clever pragmatist; in suspecting Todd Blanche […]

The resolution calls for an end to any military action against Iran without congressional approval and for the withdrawal of U.S. forces from the conflict zone.

In theory, it should have been interrupted for the holidays: the Senate is scheduled to […]

Democratic Senators try to block further State Department appointments in protest of USAID liquidation. While Trump was “canceling” transgender people and infringing on “diversity and inclusion,” the resistance to him was weak. There were more fears and complaints than protests. There was almost no opposition at all. Everything changed when Trump encroached on something sacred […]

The bill, called the American Voter Protection Act, passed the House of Representatives a few days ago by a vote of 221 to 198 (even five Democrats voted in favor). True, there is almost no chance of passage through the Senate, so the Democrats are not particularly worried. “I think they [Republicans] believe in their […]
