While millions have rallied and continually demanded strong opposition to fascistic policies, congressional Democrats have lagged far behind. Nowhere has the gap been more evident than in the Senate, where Chuck Schumer remains the minority leader despite his obvious failures to meet the moment.

Column: It's time to quit tuning out Trump's Big Lie that he won the 2020 election (validated by Putin!). It's his pretext, along with trying to ban mail ballots & militarize Democratic cities, to disrupt the '26 midterm elections lest he lose control of Congress.

Column: The Big Lie is back and coming for American elections
President Trump's attack on mail ballots isn't just a rehash of his 2020 claims, it's a pretext for disrupting the 2026 midterms.

A single person — Donald Trump — has released the dogs of war and done it without the consent of Congress, our allies, or even a clear explanation to the American people.
Anyone who has doubted Trump’s intention to replace our democracy with a dictatorship should now be fully disabused.
