The current president and majority party may be shamelessly trying to drag America back to the days of coal and oil generating most of our power and pollution, but plenty of other people are pushing back.

Far-right provocateur Charlie Kirk symbolized the fight over free speech. Universities faced pressure to cancel his appearances as well as pressure to not give in to so-called cancel culture.

We’ll ask Dr. Kristin Lyerly about Not-a-Dr. Robert Kennedy, Jr. and the misinformation he’s spreading about autism, Tylenol, and folate deficiencies, causing more angst among pregnant women.

We’ll ask former US Attorney Jim Santelle to make it make sense: the same US Supreme Court that says race cannot be a consideration for college admissions now says race can be an issue in deciding whether law enforcement can pull over, harass, and even detain people they only suspect of not being citizens.

National politicians get most of the attention, but the people who are getting things done day by day in government are the ones who serve at a local level. It’s time to think about who’s serving on your town board, city council, county board, and in other posts — and if you think it’s a […]

Conservative agitator Charlie Kirk was a lot of things, many of them antithetical to hopes for a safer America, but that does not excuse political violence – nor any kind of gun violence. If Wednesday was an average day in America, Kirk was one of 300 people who were shot yesterday, nearly half of them […]
