11 min - Forget about "polarization"; the real problem with American politics is the radicalized right-wing
Utah Governor Spencer Cox is making the rounds with a new book where he, again, insists that the problem facing American politics is polarization, and that the best way forward is to forgive and forget. Here is why that is nonsense.

16 min - Many Americans think Donald Trump is honest. Why?
