There is something grotesque about the "we homeschool our kids" response of a Christian to the crisis of gun violence in our country.

What Ravi Zacharias did was monstrous. He exploited his power and fame as an evangelist to sexually abuse women for years.

It should not be possible for a single candidate's whims to impact the date that early voting begins.
What happened today in North Carolina is flagrantly anti-democratic.
I hope the press adds “Republican-controlled” to “NC court of appeals made the decision to halt mail-in ballots from going out in order to keep RFK jr. off the ballot!”
The NCGOP worked to make our courts partisan for a reason and this is why — to use them to do their bidding.

Both PPP loans and Biden's college debt relief are responses to a crisis.
