The Supreme Court could strike down affirmative action for college admissions within days. It's time for another blow for fairness: End legacy admissions too.
Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, who is also an analyst for CNN, appeared on the network yesterday to declare that he stands by his politically motivated lie that the Russians might have manipulated the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop.
The rapid transition of Florida from a competitive swing state to a solid red state where Republicans are running up the score is not something that should be taken for granted. It provides lessons for Republicans all across the country.
In a June 20 essay in the Wall Street Journal, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito denied corruption allegations leveled against him by investigative news outlet ProPublica concerning a fishing trip he took with billionaire Paul Singer 15 years ago.
