Too many universities have lost their bearings in the face of threats and assaults against Jewish students, acts of vandalism and violations of their codes of conduct. Pomona College President G. Gabrielle Starr is not among them. wapo.st/49BXyqh

for the Jamie Dimon's of the world: Industry titans consistently — be it in 1930s Europe or in present-day Hungary or in Gen. Augusto Pinochet’s Chile or in Jair Bolsonaro’s Brazil — imagine they can cut deals with autocrats or that persecution of disfavored groups will have no…

Jamie Dimon: selling out his country and democracy for lower tax rates. Despicable.

Through mass gaslighting, the MAGA Republican Party stands poised to nominate the architect of an attempted coup. That alone besmirches our democracy. Actually electing such a character president, however, would irretrievably mar our constitutional system. Because spineless…

At its most basic level, Trump’s support of Jan. 6 criminals should demolish the notion that Trump and MAGA followers “stand with the blue” or represent the “law and order” party. Trump called these people to the Capitol, fired them up and urged them on to the Capitol. Facing…

With the presumptive Republican presidential nominee calling the convicted Jan. 6 criminals “hostages” and saluting their “anthem,” plainly aligning himself with the violent insurrectionists, Lamberth’s latest lecture against the normalization of all of this could not have been…

The lesson from the No Labels debacle is threefold. First, a third-party with a platitudinal agenda has virtually no chance to lure voters away from the two major parties. Second, at a time when pluralistic democracy, the rule of law and objective truth are under assault it is…
