Donald Trump just got a COVID booster at Walter Reed, per the White House physician.

Let’s be clear this is the same guy who downplayed the virus, mocked masks, and turned lifesaving vaccines into a political wedge that cost hundreds of thousands of lives.

Trump is using our tax dollars to buy Argentine pesos to bail out the country's failing libertarian economy.

My friend Rohit Chopra explains how this will hurt struggling Americans here at home.

Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.

They literally just fought a Supreme Court case for the right to racially profile. It was in the news!

Presidents? SCOTUS gives them immunity.

Corporations? SCOTUS makes it easier for them to pollute.

Billionaires? SCOTUS says they can buy elections.

But if you look Latino, speak Spanish, or work at a low wage job, SCOTUS says you can be abducted by masked agents.

The legacy of the Roberts court.
