A Dollop of Hypocrisy

Terry H. Schwadron June 5, 2023 We are repeatedly seeing support on Fox News for boycotts aimed at companies that offer diversity programs, even while seeking to undercut or ridicule boycotts called by more progressive groups in the name of free speech about causes, they favor.

Assessing the Debt Deal

Terry H. Schwadron June 4, 2023 We’ve had several days now of relatively empty worship at the altar of bipartisanship, even while learning that behind the scenes, there was a lot more interest in protecting political image than in setting a new standard for the federal debt or spending. The…

Broadside Attack on Governing

Terry H. Schwadron June 2, 2023 News coverage and legal analysis following last week’s Supreme Court decision blocking enforcement of federal wetlands laws have made clear that the nation’s commitment to clean water is in trouble.

DeSantis Whiffs Early, Often

Terry H. Schwadron May 29, 2023 Despite his botched announcement, Florida Gov.

Reprimanding the Messenger

Terry H. Schwadron May 27, 2023 For whatever reasons, we don’t have laws about ostriches sticking their heads in the sand.
