Last month, a strange voter registration application arrived at the home of a longtime Georgia voter. It was addressed to his dog. He quickly forwarded the application to my office at the state capitol with a simple handwritten message: “You do realize Sheba is my dead dog, right?” In the days that followed, complaints poured […]
By Monday night, Western North Carolina Republicans will have done in a few hours what a primary normally accomplishes over several months: choose a nominee, test the party’s coalition, and determine how Republicans will present themselves to general-election voters. That compressed process creates an obvious temptation to reward the contender who is best organized inside […]
President Donald Trump‘s strategy toward Iran raises questions about his grip on reality.

The rise of the Democratic Socialists of America has made it clear that socialism endures, even after a century of catastrophic failure. There has never been a successful socialist country, but American socialists have won many of their biggest victories yet this year, most recently in Michigan.

President Trump was never in “harm’s way” when his Marine One helicopter came within a mile of a passenger jet on Tuesday, according to the White House. “Marine One flights are piloted by some of the best aviators in the world, and at no point was the President in harm’s way,” White House spokesperson Kush...
If you had the choice between voting for your current member of Congress and a guy in a trashcan costume, who would you vote for? In Britain, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage is facing off against a "joke" candidate who goes by the moniker Count Binface.

Tennessee voters are headed to the polls on Thursday to set key races after the state’s congressional lines were dramatically reshaped by GOP-friendly redistricting that squeezed out the state’s lone Democratic House lawmaker. The Volunteer State waded into the national fight over congressional lines this cycle after state lawmakers repealed a 56-year prohibition on mid-decade redistricting amid President Trump’s push for red states to boost...
President Trump on Thursday dismissed reports of the U.S. military being low on munitions amid the war with Iran, saying his administration is determining who leaked the information to news outlets. “The U.S. has massive amounts of ‘munitions,’ especially of certain types,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Additionally, large amounts are being manufactured and shipped...
