Where’s Black MAGA while Trump Wipes Black History?

/

Last summer, vying for the White House, Trump hailed himself as “the best president for the Black population.” A little more than a year later, this claim has become downright unbelievable, precisely because of what he’s done. In this video, I highlight this week’s Washington Post report on the Trump administration’s decision to remove Black […]

How Federal Judges Put a Trans Civil Rights Lawyer under Criminal Investigation

/

Last Monday, federal prosecutors in Alabama revealed that they had indicted a lawyer for allegedly making false statements under oath. Perhaps such a charge might not seem extraordinary. But the case, which targets Carl Charles, a transgender civil rights attorney, is anything but ordinary. Over three years, multiple federal judges in Alabama have used secret […]

This Republican Attempt to Scuttle Federal Land Plans Could Cause Great Upheaval

/

This story was originally published by Grist and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. In the spring of 1996, lawmakers quietly buried a rider in a humdrum bill meant to make life easier for small businesses.

The Supreme Court Greenlit the President’s Political Prosecutions—Even Unlawful Ones

/

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a one-time ally turned critic of President Donald Trump, observed recently that Trump has torn down the traditional barrier between the president’s personal ambitions and the Justice Department’s power to investigate and prosecute criminal wrongdoing. “He absolutely rejects the idea that there should be separation between criminal investigations and […]

Since the murder of MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk last week in Utah, the state’s Republican governor, Spencer Cox, has won plaudits for his general moderation.
