Trump Has Revolutionized Politics. Can Democrats Catch Up? By Ted Rall

A Trillion-Dollar Blunder By Stephen Moore
I have spent some three decades railing against faulty budgetary scoring of tax bills, but the latest charade from the Congressional Budget Office and Joint Tax Committee takes the cake.

Why Christine Ford Vs. Brett Kavanaugh Is a Train Wreck You Can't Look Away From By Ted Rall
Christine Blasey Ford has accused Brett Kavanaugh of trying to rape her during a party while they were teenagers. The political stakes are high: If Kavanaugh's confirmation vote fails in the Senate and Democrats win the body back in November, conservatives will watch their dream of a solidly reliable 5-4 majority go up in smoke.
