Taken together, they show a party […]
When Ghislaine Maxwell was transferred to a minimum security facility in early August, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) wanted to know why.

The dishwasher was made in America, though there is some dispute over who did it. That’s because there are two rival American inventors of the dishwasher, with dueling patents. Credit comes down to which model of creation you find more persuasive: genius or tinkering. The genius was a man named Joel Houghton, who invented and […]
President Donald Trump and his MAGA agenda are not shy when it comes to bending conservative norms. In his second term, states’ rights, once a rallying cry for conservatives, are under pressure.
