It's been a while since I've last addressed the role of expanded federalism historically, and its significance in the 2016 election.

Of all the things that really capture what American politics are about, it's the fact that our government can and does change -- sometimes the very foundation of our government, the Constitution itself.

Last month, House Speaker Paul Ryan’s (R-Wis.) lukewarm embrace ended months of speculation about the tenuous relationship between the Republican Party’s most prominent elected official and its standard bearer. We all knew Speaker Ryan would get to this point. It seems fitting that his explanation for supporting Donald Trump was as disingenuous as it was tepid.

(WASHINGTON, D.C.) — A new poll released today by USA Today/Suffolk University found that this presidential election is “sparking feelings of alarm” for most voters. The most striking finding is that 44% of those surveyed were undecided.

Voters in Maine have a historic opportunity to change the way they elect their leaders by voting “Yes on 5” this November.

You should never have to vote for the “lesser of two evils” when there is another candidate you like better. We need a system that works – where candidates with the best ideas, not the biggest bank accounts have a fighting chance.

After making its case in a Cook County courtroom, a group fighting to reform the partisan drawing of congressional districts still faces one more crucial deadline ahead of achieving its goal of appearing on the November 8 ballot.

It's been a rally of patriotism during the Cold War, the 1st Gulf War, and after 9/11.

On Tuesday, voters across New York State participated in primary elections to nominate candidates for November’s congressional elections. In the 13th District, nine Democrats were running to replace Charlie Rangel, who has held the Harlem-based seat for 46 years. The crowded field yielded a narrow result, with State Senator Adriano Espaillat beating State Assemblyman Keith Wright (Rangel’s chosen successor) 37% to 34%.

I was not a Bernie Sanders supporter. Nor do I support either of the two remaining presidential candidates. I will be sitting this election out. I will not disrespect myself by lending support to either of these people, who I believe are so glaringly unfit to lead.

In St. Louis on June 25, a 15-member committee produced the first draft of the Democratic Party's latest political platform. While a significant collaborative effort among the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders campaigns, the committee was also the site of ideological and political competition as the members debated and shaped the priorities and policies of the party.
