Boris Johnson and the longest goodbye

Boris Johnson is the condemned man who refuses to die. For seven months, hardly without a week's intermission, he has blustered his way through a series of scandals and pratfalls that would have toppled most titans of post-war British politics. To the intense irritation of his foes and rivals, he refused to accept the political death sentence.

Washington's lack of diversity is hurting democracy

A recent wave of media attention has pointed to a toxic workplace culture in much of the Washington, D.C., political ecosystem. From the viral “Dear White Staffers” on Capitol Hill, to growing worker dissatisfaction at liberal nonprofits, it's become clear that the policy field doesn't always practice what it preaches when it comes to diversity, equity and inclusion.

Devastating defeat for rights of women

Overturning Roe v. Wade is not the first time the Supreme Court has driven a dagger into the heart of human rights and further divided a deeply troubled nation. But not since the 19th century have there been other decisions so dreadfully indefensible and consequential.
