By: Edoardo Saravalle A series of intolerant newsletters have been plaguing Ron Paul’s campaign for most of his recent political career. The publications, with names like The Ron Paul Survival Report and The Ron Paul Investment Letter, first came to public attention during Paul’s 1996 Congressional campaign. His opponent Charles “Lefty” Morris divulged newsletters containing statements like “if you have [...]
By: Logan Bayroff For the first time in quite a long time, something new is happening in Russia. Sure, the former superpower has popped up in the news now and then since the breakup of the Soviet Union. Stories about saber-rattling autocrats and obscenely rich oligarchs are always popular with journalists, and the sordid corruption and crime that accompanies them [...]
By Alexia Nader Edited by Emily Kim The statistics of the U.S. Census Bureau’s new experimental poverty measure are staggering: 16% of the population in the country is living in poverty, about 2.5 million more people than we previously thought. The numbers in the new measure have changed from even two months ago, when the Official Poverty Measure was released, [...]
by Gregory Segal Art by Gabriella Kahn Texas Governor Rick Perry and Galileo. Despite the unequivocal differences between these two individuals, according to Perry, they aren’t so different. As Perry told the nation at the Republican presidential debate this September, “The idea that we would put Americans’ economy at jeopardy based on scientific theory that’s not settled yet, to me, [...]

It can be a bit difficult to keep track of what the president proposed in his SOTU policy-wise, particularly when a president proposes as many daring policies as Obama did. Wonkblog extracted the juicy, policy bits, trimmed the fat and produced this. But, let’s simplify things even further. Here’s a list! No tax deductions for outsourcing Use that money for moving [...]
If you read an article in the last six months that mentioned Mitt Romney, it probably referred at least once to the inevitability of his nomination. Indeed, if you believed everything — or anything — you read, you’d think that the Republican primaries were just some sort of stimulus package for the political opinion industry, designed to keep pundits and [...]

Today, we’re going to play a game I’m calling “Who’s That Candidate?” You might think the game is about Rick Santorum, because every time his name is mentioned that’s what people say. But actually, it’s a game where I describe a politician’s political positions and you guess who he is. Ready? Then let’s play WHO’S THAT CANDIDATE! (Imagine a studio [...]
Right now, I’m on vacation. I am quite certain of this fact (the sound of waves crashing on the beach gives it away). And that certainty indicates that I’m not qualified to be a member of the United States Congress. Here’s the deal: President Obama wanted to appoint Richard Cordray as the head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Well, actually, [...]
Agent Brian Terry died last December. Investigators soon traced the weapons to a little-known ATF operation called “Operation Fast and Furious,” which was part of a larger program called “Project Gunrunner.” ATF describes this initiative as “a comprehensive strategy to reduce…violent crime associated with Mexican criminal organizations…by preventing these organizations from unlawfully acquiring and trafficking firearms and explosives.” They do [...]
On the night of December 14, 2010, four Customs and Border Patrol agents were in pursuit of gangs of bandits along Interstate 19, south of Tucson. Bandits often prey upon illegal immigrants, who may be holding their life savings or carrying drugs on behalf of their smugglers, along this dark and rugged corridor. The four officers pursuing bandits on that [...]
Earlier this evening, Speaker John Boehner announced that House Republicans will support a two-month extension of the payroll tax cuts. With a call for a final vote Friday morning, Boehner and the GOP leadership have abandoned their current push for a one-year extension of the cuts in order to pass the stopgap provision and end the political battle in time [...]
