For the past four years, former President Donald Trump has been building a cult of election deniers who believe his false claim that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him. They don’t care that no one has ever presented a shred of credible evidence to support Trump’s blatantly bogus claim. Notwithstanding the lack of […]
Chief Justice John Roberts appears to have sold out the independent third branch of government he leads, by choosing to bend the knee to former President Donald Trump. Roberts has appeared in recent years to lose his leadership of the Supreme Court to the Trump-aligned wing of the Court. Roberts’s response has been to seize […]

Today’s campaign finance system floods Washington with unprecedented levels of influence-seeking and influence-buying campaign money. It is an unfair and corrupt system. It is also an obscene system where, for example, former President Donald Trump reportedly told top oil executives they should raise $1 billion for him.

With Election Day just 74 days away, we stand on the brink of what will be the most expensive and one of the most consequential elections in our nation’s history. It’s vitally important that the integrity of […]
In the last Congress, the Senate came within two votes of sending historic democracy reform legislation to President Biden for his signature.

Today’s Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice John Roberts, is likely to go down as one of the worst Supreme Courts in American history. It is a radical Court. If you look at the nearly 20-year record of this Court since Roberts was appointed Chief Justice in 2005, you will find a rogue Court that […]

Five days later, on July 18, Trump accepted the Republican party’s presidential nomination with a rambling 92-minute acceptance speech.
