  • When the GOP forces religion into schools, the Satanic Temple complies
    As the saying goes, what’s good for the goose is good for the, erm, satanic goose, and one group of faux satanists is vowing to prove once again that theocracy is incompatible with the Constitution. The Satanic Temple—the winsome wags who brought you Samuel Alito’s […]
  • These 5 Republicans stood up to Trump—sort of. Enter Susan Collins
    Maine Sen. Susan Collins is taking another “brave” stand that will help exactly no one. It’s the kind of stand designed to signal she’s a virtuous freethinker who’s determined to do absolutely nothing to stop a wannabe dictator from abruptly ending our 248-year-old American experiment. […]
  • GOP Senate candidate vows to answer 'tough' questions—but not about abortion

    So it looks like you really can get into trouble for attempting to overthrow the U.S. government—as long as you’re not the ringleader, apparently. Rudy Giuliani, who on election night 2020 helpfully and/or drunkenly advised the Trump team to “just say we won,” has been […]
  • Most Americans think the Supreme Court is biased. That could help Biden
    When the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of George W. Bush in 2000’s landmark Bush v. Gore decision, effectively handing the presidency to the Republican, it was widely seen as a nakedly partisan, ad hoc undertaking meant to install a conservative kindred spirit. Twenty-two […]
  • Oklahoma forces the Bible on students, as Christian nationalism digs in
    A little more than a week after Louisiana passed a law requiring the Ten Commandments to be posted in schools—prompting some wags to point out how few Republicans have apparently even read them—Oklahoma is getting in on the Christofascist funsies. Ryan Walters, the state’s superintendent […]
