Opinion | How Europe Swung to the Right ‘A lot of people simply haven’t been heard for a long time.’

Europe gets the "let's talk to white men in Midwestern diners to understand what's really going on"-treatment from the paper of record.

Major effect of focusing on random, seemingly authentic "ordinary people:" conduct of center-right elites rendered invisible.

I, for one, am writing to the Pennsylvania attorney general because surely Donald’s statement is enough to open an investigation.

A president’s executive order cannot undo a law or a Supreme Court decision, let alone a provision of the Constitution. Forget that and you do have a dictatorship on day one.

I guess we will find out whether a president can nullify the plain language of the Constitution. If such a monstrous order is allowed to stand, the consequences will be dire.

Many of you have asked me over the past year how and when you could see my son's film Petro! It is now available on Amazon Prime. It is a very moving story of a people at a moment in the history of Colombia, electing their first progressive-left President. It makes people cry. With happiness.
