Some prominent Republicans are backing away from Trump, and that’s a very good thing
What America’s politics need, more than anything else, is for the GOP to be a normal political party again. Since falling under Trump’s spell, it’s become a cult led by a lying charlatan. That’s unhealthy not just for the Republican Party, but the entire country. We need two [...]

To Trump and his followers, Ashli Babbitt is a martyr who gave her life to “Stop the Steal” (not voluntarily, it should be noted). But what was this mythical, heroic figure like in real life? Ashli had left the military in 2016 after a combined 14 years in the Air Force and Air National [...]
How do we know what to believe?
“Nearly three-quarters of Republicans doubt that President Biden’s 2020 electoral victory was legitimate,” The Hill reports (story here). Believing lies doesn’t make them true. But how do we really know what’s true or isn’t? People can legitimately believe things that[...]
