It's a small thing but such a relief too: after a few years of drought, it's finally not this summer. Minnows are darting in the creek and the bee balm and yellow coneflowers are blooming in profusion.

Bill Barr has blood on his hands. Seriously screw that guy for enabling his “boss” to murder someone in prison.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

The Supreme Court should preserve the status quo until legal questions are resolved and explain the disposition of cases for the public. They are abdicating basic principles of equity and failing to fulfill their institutional role. They aren’t pretending to try. There isn’t even the veneer of law.

Senate Republicans just confirmed a radical Trump judicial nominee.

Whitney Hermandorfer has led Tennessee’s defense of a near-total abortion ban.

Sen. KLOBUCHAR brought it to light at her hearing, after she met with a woman who almost died under the ban.
