More procedural than substantive, Maguire’s testimony didn’t provide actionable content that the Democrats can readily move forward with. Prior to the ... more »

I still think there's a case to be made for feminist marriage — and here's why
Just In - 9 hours ago
The aim of feminism has always been culture change, and changing the culture of marriage (and the broader culture that places a narrow definition on what it means to be a wife) seems like a worthy enough pursuit, writes Kristine Ziwica.

Sept. 26: Are Americans even dumber than Canadians?
This afternoon, I watched a speech as delivered by Donald Trump. It was blatant lying. Blatant, vicious and murderous. Everyone should have known that - but I'd be willing to bet that most Canadians and Americans will buy his vicious lies. Did Trump believe what he was saying? I doubt it. Trump cannot have been such American billionaires. When Castro led Cubans to freedom, the U.S. tried many times to assassinate him. It also, ever since, has kept Cuba as a nation in poverty, illegally destroying Cuba's right to trade with other countries. The story of Venezuela is similar. U.S. o... more »

Son of #Russiagate
First let's get the obligatory "I'm not a Trump fan" disclaimer out of the way. The transcript of the July phone conversation that the U.S. president had with the Ukrainian president did indeed showcase Trump at his oafish, garbled, self-interested worst. He did indeed sound like a less talented and less subtle Tony Soprano. A smoking gun, though,the phone call definitely was not, Besides hinting that he wanted dirt on Joe Biden and his lovely son Hunter, Trump seemed just as interested in getting dirt on CrowdStrike.
