The war on gray wolves continues in Congress as it has for at least the last twenty years. Usually, politicians from rural districts where ranching co-exists alongside introduced gray wolves will cynically use this issue to get some attention and pander for votes, and that's what Boebert is doing here as she struggles to remain in the House of Representatives.

(PHOENIX) — Democrats secured enough votes in the Arizona Senate on Wednesday to repeal a Civil War-era ban on abortions that the state’s highest court recently allowed to take effect. Voting wasn’t complete but the Senate had the 16 votes it needed to advance the bill.

Former Trump financial advisor Larry Kudlow used every MAGA lie there is to describe Biden's economic policy before finishing by claiming it's racist against white people.

(CHICAGO) — For five days, the shouts of student protesters and supporters rang out from Northwestern University’s Deering Meadow as they joined demonstrations against the Israel-Hamas war unfolding on college campuses nationwide. But the meadow on the suburban Chicago campus fell silent hours after student organizers and the school announced an agreement late Monday to curb protest activity in return for the reestablishment of an advisory committee on university investments and other commitments.

By quickly defusing the protests in Evanston and avoiding the longer standoffs that happened on other campuses, the agreement at Northwestern offered an example of successful negotiations between anti-war demonstrators and administrators.
