For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government.

But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes.

Where is the outrage over that?

You don’t have to agree with someone’s views to defend their right to say it. This is what authoritarian regimes do, not us.

If this ruling stands, it’s not just the end of a legal case, it’s the end to free speech.

Trump’s campaign produced campaign materials in Spanish to reach more voters. Now that he’s president, his White House is going English-only.
