We’ll let Bill Bramhall (NYDN) start us off with a ray of hope. Merrick Garland has a lot of clean up to do, but he’s not pretending otherwise, having made clear that he is in office to be Attorney General and not the president’s personal attorney. The fact that he was confirmed by a 70-30 […]
The giant shadow cast by Ruth Bader Ginsburg, as Michael de Adder puts it, hangs over political commentary at the moment and seems likely to be a major factor in the upcoming elections, both at the Presidential and Senate levels, to which I would add that, while the House doesn’t have a role in selecting […]
Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? — Matthew, 7:9 I agree with Ann Telnaes. It is unconscionable that employers can provide health coverage but limit it to only the care they deem moral.

Joe Heller‘s cartoon suggests that Jeffrey Epstein’s death has ended what would have been a series of scandals and downfalls. However, I would point out that anyone familiar with cemetery vandalism knows otherwise and that this is a simple case of Fudd’s First Law of Opposition: “If you push something hard enough, it will fall […]
Jimmy Margulies comments on the feds having tapped into state licensing bureaus to get all our biometric information. I’m not worried about being deported, because they can force you out of your country without making you move an inch. I feel like the guide in the old joke: “We’re not lost; we’re right here. The […]
Mike Luckovich on a topic nobody cares about anymore. As was noted here in a recent Candorville, media attention has largely moved on from separated families despite the problem not having been solved. But about seven hundred kids are now orphaned by the incompetent cruelty of a policy that separated families and then lost track […]
