Some have described it as the inmates taking over the asylum, and since MSNBC hosts had the pole position in the uprising, that’s understandable. But their loud objections caused their boss — remarkably — to do a 180-degree turn, and rescind his hiring of ousted Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel

In an ideological 6-3 split, U.S. Supreme Court conservatives had their way in allowing Texas to continue to arrest and deport illegal aliens while the Texas law is being challenged in lower courts. It is a significant ruling because, until now, immigration enforcement has been thought of as a

If I were a Muslim Arab American living in heavily Muslim Dearborn, Mich. — and I am registered Democratic as almost all of them are — I probably would have voted “uncommitted” in Tuesday’s primary. (And 56% of that community did.) It would have been fun as a protest — in the

A friend of mine — at least I think she’s a friend — asks me why I don’t opine on Joe Biden’s age (because I am a year older than Biden, and that might give me unique insight into the, um, aging issue). I do. First, it’s not

On its second try, the (bare, and shrinking) Republican House majority managed to pass a vote to impeach our reality-challenged Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas. The vote was 214-213, the charge was not enforcing immigration law and breaching public trust, and the case will now move to the Democrat-controlled
