“Did I make mistakes, some painfully? Definitely, and I believe I learned from them and that I am a better person for it,” Cuomo said. His detractors don’t believe him.

He fired qualified military leaders and hired lesser men who are loyal to him. If you’re wondering where all of this is going: Prepare for autocracy.

Once Harris became the nominee, women voters surged behind her. But on Election Day, she won a smaller share of them than Biden did. This is how it fell apart.

Stonewalling questions about his sexual behavior and excessive drinking as “anonymous smears,” the Fox host charmed the Senate Armed Services Committee’s GOP majority into submission.

We are not taking what happened in 2021 seriously enough.

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy champion the educated immigrants who fuel tech-sector growth. Trump just decided he does, too. We’ll see if that lasts.

These freakish and unqualified cabinet picks, from RFK Jr. to Matt Gaetz to Tulsi Gabbard, show that Trump is clowning you.

The election math isn’t as bad as we thought. But the coming Trump administration is shaping up to be worse.

Consider how resoundingly she succeeded in her 107-day campaign—and what that means about how deep the problems are that we need to solve.

Laura Gillen should have won a congressional seat in 2022—but the New York Democratic Party was in shambles. This time, her creepy ex-cop opponent is going down.

She has another week, and so does Trump. But comparing her excellent Ellipse speech to Trump’s Madison Square Garden satyricon is absurd.

The former first lady’s incandescent speech on Saturday night in Michigan centered women’s bodies and excoriated the man who gropes but won’t protect them.

It took a reference to Arnold Palmer’s penis to get more mainstream reporters to tell it like it is. That’s progress.

This ought to calm the media malcontents who’ve insisted she hasn’t sat for enough interviews, right? Wrong.

Mainstream journalists are making something very simple too complicated: Republicans want a national abortion ban.

Last night’s interview with MSNBC showed that Harris doesn’t have to choose a hostile anchor for an interview in which the public hears tough questions and fleshed-out answers.

In 2012, the GOP fielded candidates who didn’t know how our bodies worked. In 2024, Trump drones on about protecting us, and is equally disturbing.

The “Unite for America” rally showed just how many different constituencies Harris has. Now, the challenge is turning their enthusiasm into organizing.

Trump’s gambit is bad, but Vance’s is even worse. He’s one of Ohio’s senators; these are his constituents. How can he endanger them like this?

Even Fox News couldn’t spin the truth: Trump lost the debate—badly.
