January 6 Hearings Fallout: How Trump’s Big Lie Is Threatening the Future of Elections
As the House Select Committee presented damning evidence of Trump’s months-long campaign to overturn the election, which reached a crescendo in the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol, right-wing groups are trying to make sure that next time, Trump, or any other wannabe dictator, will be successful.

Truth, Justice, and the American Way

Congress Must Protect the Freedom to Marry
We all know that what people do tells you more about them than what they say. That’s true for politicians, too.
