Trump’s racist and misogynistic attacks against Kamala are only exacerbating the congenital problem he has with women voters. But even that pales in comparison with the problem he has with Black women, particularly four of them: Vice President Kamala Harris, New York AG Letitia James, Fulton County DA Fani Willis, and U.S. District Judge Tanya… Read more.
Trump ridiculed Scott Trump continually ridiculed Tim Scott, saying, “You are campaigning harder for me than yourself.” This was Trump’s sadomasochistic way of acknowledging how hard Scott was auditioning for VP.

In other words, they’re two… Read more.

Tuberville’s hold on military promotions Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville is getting his 15 minutes of fame. He’s getting it for making Congress even more partisan and dysfunctional than usual. But that’s the point. Tuberville is holding up promotions for over 250 military officers. The Pentagon subsidizes out-of-state travel for reproductive healthcare, including abortion. He’s protesting that policy. And he… Read more.
Scholastic is the world’s largest publisher of educational materials, including children’s books. It enjoyed a good reputation. Then it betrayed its mission. It asked an author to cut references to racism from her book before publication. The author is Maggie Tokuda-Hall (no relation). Her children’s book is Love in the Library.
