SACRAMENTO, Calif. — When a California governor goes to Europe and lectures world leaders that they must “grow a spine” and “stand tall” against the American president, I wince.

MINNEAPOLIS -- For as long as I can remember, the word “Russia” was shorthand for “oppression.” I grew up at the end of the Cold War and celebrated the unraveling of the Soviet Union, easily conflating the nightly news with Rocky IV.

But I learned that the world isn’t as black-and-white as Cold War propaganda suggested. Oppression can...Read more

A few months ago, I made three bold predictions in print: (1) President Donald Trump will be impeached for a third time; (2) If Democrats win in the midterms, Trump will not accept the results of the election; and (3) Trump will not complete the final three years of his term. How are these predictions faring?

For predictions (1) and (3), it’s...Read more

Health care in 2025 was consumed by chaos, conflict and relentless drama. Yet despite unprecedented political turmoil, cultural division and major technological breakthroughs, there was little meaningful improvement in how care is paid for or delivered.

The Environmental Protection Agency’s decision to stop quantifying the health benefits of regulating soot and ozone is a victory for polluters and a loss for the public.

How better could the deep mystical truth we need today be represented than by Dictionary.com’s choice of “6-7” as 2025’s word of the year?
