She had to do it, because, well, dear Democratic Party: I need more form you. You keep sending emails, begging for $15, while we’re watching fascism consolidate power in real time,” Leguizamo began in a video posted to the leftist echo chamber Bluesky on Thursday. Liz Cheney...

One gets the sense that the circus doesn’t stop in Boise much — at least not the political kind. On Monday night, an estimated 12,500 people — mostly retired Boomers, with a smattering of Gen X and Gen Z — packed in an arena in Nampa, Idaho, a 30-minute drive from the Gem State capital. They were there for the latest stop on Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s “Fighting Oligarchy” tour. Sanders did speak here in 2016. But “Fighting Oligarchy” is a new beast — progressive Democrats zagging into what is mostly Republican territory. On Sunday, the two...

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Thursday criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s trip to Pennsylvania, where he appeared with Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) in what many Republicans saw as a political event. Graham told reporters at the Capitol that “what happened in Pennsylvania was a mistake.” Graham said he didn’t know who set the meeting up and that Zelensky’s visit to a munitions factory to thank workers “makes sense.” But the political overtones of the trip, Graham suggested, should have been avoided. “Whether it was intended or not, [it] has a political perception, and that was a mistake,” Graham said. But...

Could Taylor Swift’s mega-tour have fans seeing red on their next COVID test? There has been some cautious optimism among public health officials that this summer might be the first during which California doesn’t experience a major coronavirus wave — and there’s no evidence at this point that one is on the way. But California is not in the clear or out of the woods just yet. Transmission does appear to be on the upswing, and there’s no denying the virus’ enduring power to spread, particularly in crowded settings. And crowded hardly begins to describe Swift’s concerts, let alone the...
