Across the country, public school districts require children to be fully immunized against, among other things, polio, measles, hepatitis B, chickenpox, diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis before they can attend classes. These policies have existed for years; they’ve been incredibly effective; they enjoy the support of public-health officials; and they haven’t been especially controversial. Indeed, up […]
It was in early September 2020, as early voting was poised to begin in several states, when The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg published a staggering report on Donald Trump, his denigration of those who serve in the military, and his condemnation of fallen American heroes as “suckers” and “losers.” In fact, according to the report, when […]

Eight years later, some find it easy to forget some of the more ridiculous elements of the 2016 presidential campaign. Young voters, for example, might not appreciate the absurdity of the political world obsessing for months on Hillary Clinton’s email server protocols, as if they were one of the most important issues on the planet.

COLSTRIP, Mont. (AP) — Actions by President Joe Biden‘s administration that could hasten closures of heavily polluting coal power plants and the mines that supply them are reviving Republican rhetoric about a so-called “war on coal” ahead of the November election.

Four years ago, Donald Trump went to outlandish lengths to warn voters that the future of American suburbs was at stake in the 2020 presidential election.
