The GOP’s small-government orthodoxy is the worst remedy for a response to the coronavirus. The Republicans have lost the debate over the role government should play in people’s lives, and the coronavirus pandemic has accelerated that demise. For decades, GOP logic has gone something like this: It’s a convenient self-fulfilling prophecy, but the coronavirus pandemic […]
he media is not to blame here, but they can do more to stop the spread of dangerous misinformation coming from the president. He just implied a treatment for COVAID is to drink bleach.
The first night of round two is over for the Democratic debates. Candidates and moderators touched on important issues Democrats are grappling with like Medicare-for-all and illegal immigration.

This will be a short post as compared to past writings where I’ve tried to build longer arguments about more complicated topics.

Clearly from your tone and the arguments you made, you are not a fan. But for the life of me, I can’t understand why you think those arguments are winners […]
In a 60 Minutes interview this past Tuesday, January 27th, Howard Schultz, the former CEO of Starbucks, made a provocative indication that he may be gearing up for a presidential run as an independent. With an estimated net worth of roughly $3.4 billion, Schultz would be one of if not the most well-funded independent candidate […]
This week, the United Teachers of Los Angeles (UTLA) came to an agreement with the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), the second largest school district in the United States. The strike was over. Teachers went back to school yesterday, putting an end to the week-long strike that left schools with skeleton staffs. The LAUSD […]
2020 has commenced. Candidates are starting to form exploratory committees, recruit staff, and conduct a whole host of other activities indicative of a nascent campaign.
