Out of deference to the late president, Republicans have reportedly taken a pause in their threat to shut down the government--and furlough 800,000 workers-- if Congress doesn't fund Trump's $5 billion border wall, says Sally Kohn. But if they don't think it's appropriate to extort stupid funding in this moment, is it appropriate ever? → Read More

The cowardice of the 'Sheep Throat' op-ed
We're supposed to think that Sheep Throat and his or her herd are brave for fighting the good fight, despite a craven claim to anonymity in an NYT op-ed -- when in truth this person is promoting conservative policies that roll back rights and protections, while complaining that Trump's style is distasteful and a threat, writes Sally Kohn. → Read More
