There’s an age-old concept – in crisis, opportunity – that should be deployed as President Joe Biden winds down his administration by signing off on pardons, commutations and other acts of clemency. By now, you must have heard the cacophony of controversy after Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden on Sunday, giving him a get-out-of-jail-free…
President-elect Donald Trump is making his Cabinet picks and raising eyebrows on both sides of the aisle with choices looking very different compared to his first White House administration. Trump most recently tapped environmental activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr., nephew of the late Democratic U.S. President John F. Kennedy for the Health and Human Services…
Donald Trump, despite who he is, has won the 2024 presidential election and will retake the White House for a second term. Trump’s win became official early Wednesday morning after media outlets called Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, giving him enough Electoral College votes for the White House. Republicans made every mistake they could along the way…
Mark Cuban might make a good president someday, but he hasn’t ventured far into politics. At least, until this year. The part owner of the NBA Dallas Mavericks and a “Shark Tank” investor isn’t exactly a Republican. But I’ve interviewed him several times since 2015, and I’ve never seen him until now campaign hard for…
For as long as I’ve been covering politics, I’ve been writing about why I cannot vote for Donald Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris for president. While I’ve endlessly explained why, I haven’t written as much about why I believe a write-in candidate is the right answer to such a hopeless election. My write-in vote…
I’ve been covering politics a long time but there are just some things I’ll never understand — like why in the world Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz would come to Kentucky just two weeks before the election when Kentucky is so Trump-crazy that Vice President Kamala Harris doesn’t stand a chance here. But my confusion over…
WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden turned the tables on Donald Trump on Tuesday, suggesting the time has come to “lock him up” – at least politically. Speaking to campaign workers in New Hampshire, Biden warned that democracy is at stake in the Nov. 5 election and that Americans should think about what will happen if…
The first and only debate between the vice presidential nominees, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, was the first chance for Americans to hear both discuss the differences between their campaigns. It also showed the difference between Vance and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. Unlike the debates between the former president and Vice…
For most of U.S. history, presidents since George Washington have been unwavering in the use of their clemency power. They understood their actions not only as a way to remedy overly harsh sentences but also to help restore public faith in the justice system. President Joe Biden now has a chance to use his clemency…
Given all the uproar over GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump’s baseless, utterly false and profoundly racist claims that Haitian immigrants are eating people’s pets in an Ohio town, I would likely to make a public statement that is supported by an equal amount of evidence: “Not long ago, billionaire Elon Musk ate my cat, Mr….
