The medical profession is increasingly captured by DEI. My own professional limbo is only a small part of the story. The edifice of diversity‚ equity‚ and inclusion (DEI)‚ a reasonable-sounding concept that serves as a dog whistle for critical race theory and is premised on the claim that our country is systemically racist‚ is cracking. But the road to the dismantling of this illiberal‚ anti-science‚ racist‚ and now antisemitic ideology promises to be long and hard. There will...

Two days into his historic criminal trial‚ former President Trump is confronting the same rare feeling that fueled his erratic behavior in the wake of the 2020 election: a loss of control. Why it matters: Trump is quickly learning that Manhattan's criminal courthouse is not like the court of public opinion‚ where he's broken every rule of politics and bulldozed his way to total Republican dominance. Trump's campaign has been marked by choreographed rallies in front of...

Mike Johnson (R-LA) hoped Donald Trump could head off a brewing effort to remove him as House speaker.  But he is learning the limits of the former president’s power in an unruly and divided House where even a single Republican defection could prove fatal to his early speakership. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA)‚ who is weighing a motion to oust Johnson‚ appeared unfazed by his pilgrimage to Mar-a-Lago on Friday‚ where Trump gave the speaker his vote of...

Republican senators‚ whose hopes of winning the Senate majority are riding on former President Trump’s strength as a general election candidate‚ say the hush money trial beginning this week in Manhattan will have little impact on the presidential race. Senate Republicans by and large predict that few votes will change in November even if Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) convicts Trump of some or even many of the 34 felony counts he faces for falsifying business records...

There are two Donald Trump criminal trials now taking place. There’s the one in a Manhattan courtroom‚ where a judge‚ attorneys for both sides and prospective jurors are making strenuous efforts to lay the foundation of the fair trial to which the ex-president and every other citizen is entitled.
