Mail-in voting was not a scheme created by Democrats, Marc Elias says. It was something that voters demanded. And for a long time, Republicans used it to their advantage. “[Trump] started spreading lies about mail-in voting [in 2020], and those lies about mail-in voting continue to this day.”

Slotkin: "If Russia is helping to kill US forces, we have crossed a rubicon. We have to take decisive action on that. Instead, we're giving them breaks on oil. They're making a ton of money."

Canada welcomes the U.S. Court of International Trade’s decision on the United States’ tariffs. It confirmed what we’ve always held: that the American tariffs against Canadian goods are unlawful and unjustified.
