A bunch of Democrats are responding to bigoted Republican attacks in exactly the wrong way, both morally and strategically. There’s a better way, and it starts with attacking Republicans. paulwaldman.substack.com/p/this-is-wh...

A virus of moral cowardice is spreading among Democrats, and it’s not even smart politics.

As I’ve often said, my first fear, on learning that the UK had voted for Brexit, was that it might even be possible for Trump to be elected.

"The LGBT panic defense is banned in 20 states, but Tennessee is not one of them."
Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com · 2w agoA Tennessee appellate court has ruled that the killing of a woman may have been justifiable because she was trans.
