Russian President Vladimir Putin pines for the old Russian empire and takes Ukraine’s independence as a personal affront. But the invasion of Ukraine is not a limited regional dispute between neighbors. Putin is also motivated by a deep opposition to democracy more broadly. That is why he has waged a long-running shadow war to destabilize free societies and discredit democratic institutions in the United States and around the world. Ukraine is one flash point in a larger global struggle
The former Director of National Intelligence under President Trump, John Ratcliffe, has accused Hillary Clinton of attempting to ‘frame’ Trump under a ‘false Russian narrative’ – as a lawyer charged in a special counsel probe claimed it was a witch hunt.
Ratcliffe went on Fox News on Monday night where he explained how, in his view, Clinton had been trying to drum up interest in possible links between President Trump and Russia in an effort to distract attention away from
The accelerating red-state offensive to censor what public-school students are taught about racism is emerging as a critical companion measure to proliferating race-based voter restrictions in many of the same states.
The two-pronged fight captures how aggressively Republicans are moving to entrench their current advantages in red states, even as many areas grow significantly more racially and culturally diverse. Voting laws are intended to reconfigure the composition of today’s electorate; the teaching bans aim to shape the attitudes of
Just over a year ago, 147 Republican lawmakers tried to overturn the 2020 presidential election based on a lie about widespread voter fraud that, just hours earlier, had fueled a deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Today, most of these lawmakers are hoping you’ll forget how they lied to Americans that day and threatened the peaceful transfer of power, the very foundation of democracy. They’d rather that you think of them as having the same ideals of an American hero,
Police in New York City have arrested a 30-year-old homeless man with a criminal record in the cold-blooded murder of a 19-year-old Burger King cashier, who was gunned down after handing over $100 during a robbery earlier this week.
The NYPD on Friday announced that Winston Glynn, who had worked at the same Burger King as the victim, but a year apart, was in custody in connection with the Sunday morning killing of Kristal Bayron-Nieves.

eginning Am 9. November 2016 hörten wir einen konstanten Trommelschlag von Demokraten in Madison, Wisconsin, und Washington, DC: „Wahlbetrug“, „Gestohlene Wahlen“, „russische Absprachen“. Diese Behauptungen, die jetzt gründlich entlarvt wurden, hören wir jetzt einen ähnlichen Schlag, nur jetzt von den Republikanern in Bezug auf den 3. November 2020. Aber wir wissen jetzt
The next few weeks will likely answer the most crucial question that emerged from last year’s insurrection by supporters of Donald Trump: Can one political party defend American democracy on its own?
In the days after the January 6 attack, it appeared possible that many Republicans would join Democrats in a cross-party coalition to defend democracy against the autocratic threat. But instead, Trump has consolidated his control over the GOP, led a movement to purge Republican elected officials who
Representative Madison Cawthorn, the bombastic North Carolina Republican, doesn’t care that the state’s conservative establishment is uniting against him. As the youngest member of Congress, at twenty-six, and one of the most headline-grabbing, Cawthorn contends that weak Republican leaders are responsible for leaving the United States nearly thirty trillion dollars in debt. He told me, “That’s thanks to people who have been kind of ignorant and slow, not realizing that the Democratic Party is filled with socialists who are so
Joe and Jill Biden have worn masks to walk their dog alone on a beach while on their Delaware vacation.
The Bidens – who are booster vaccinated – covered their faces for no apparent reason as they took their German Shepherd puppy, Commander, for a walk along a deserted Rehoboth Beach on Tuesday evening.
The President, 79, even continued to wear his mask after the First Lady, 70, took hers off.
It’s not clear who Biden believed he was protecting
The great divergence is rapidly expanding—and President Joe Biden’s window to reverse it is narrowing.
Since the 1960s, Congress and federal courts have acted mostly to strengthen the floor of basic civil rights available to citizens in all 50 states, a pattern visible on issues from the dismantling of Jim Crow racial segregation to the right to abortion to the authorization of same-sex marriage. But now, offensives by red-state governments and GOP-appointed federal judges are poised to retrench those
