I’ve never been a fan of Adam Schiff. One of the main reasons I don’t care for him is that he is the kind of partisan hack who will say anything to help himself and his party even as he pretends he’s some kind of straight-shooter giving people the facts. He was really the face...
You know, the Democrats have a case to make over the Abrego Garcia affair. It is a so-so case. Perhaps even a weak case. But it is not utterly absurd. Having the courts give a definition of what process is actually “due” in immigration cases involving identified terrorist organization-affiliated individuals wouldn’t be the worst thing. ...
Was it a trap? One might think so. The Trump administration’s deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia has ignited a firestorm, seeming to give a boost–or at least an issue–for Donald Trump’s Democratic Party and Pravda Media adversaries.

On Thursday, automaker Stellantis, citing conditions created by Trump’s tariffs, announced temporary layoffs for...
As Republican lawmakers wage an all-out assault on transgender people, Democrats are reportedly “reshuffling.” In a recent article, sources told NOTUS that the party is attempting to adjust its tone on trans issues following its crushing losses in the 2024 election, instead seeking a sort of middle ground that won’t “inflame” voters. The myth that...
A push to claw back a process-oriented change in New York’s criminal legal code shows just how readily Democrats will capitulate to carceral demands in 2025.
