Donald Trump, Twitter, and his smartphone is a toxic combination. We've known this for years. But now Trump has, once again, broken new ground in his endless quest to turn America into his personal fiefdom. He wants his political opponents...
Interesting how the dog whistles change from time to time. If you've wondered why Glenn Youngkin and other Republican candidates nationwide are kvetching about an arcane academic subject taught at the graduate school level, if at all, they're not....
