In all the coverage of Ohtani's great night, I have seen mentions of Babe Ruth (of course), Tony Cloninger, and Rick Wise, maybe Jim Tobin ... but not Guy Hecker, the pitcher who in 1886 led his league in batting average while winning 26 games (two years earlier, he had won 52).

Under the Third Reich, most Germans generally lived in the law-bound normative state, while Jews and other disfavored people were victims of the arbitrary and violent prerogative state.
The dual state is characterized by the facade of normalcy obscuring the fact of an authoritarian state.

The “dual state” theory was invented to describe Nazis. The Supreme Court could take us there.

After the Brown v. Board decision, white people across the South opened hundreds of private schools.

Make no mistake, the SCOTUS decision about birthright citizenship IS ALSO ABOUT *birthright citizenship.*
The Court is using nationwide injunctions as the tail, wagging the dog, to take us back to an Antebellum view of citizenship.
That way led to war once.

Well done article. Reinforces the point that Dems need to earn these voters--see too many Dem leaders act like Trump will screw up (likely) and these folks will automatically flock back to the Dems.

The small city of Reading in central Pennsylvania is around 70 percent Latino.
In 2024, it shifted toward Trump by a staggering net 16 points.
I spent some time trying to figure out why that happened. The result is this piece. I hope you'll check it out:
