David Corn: What are They Thinking in Washington?
November 18, 2010The Tea Party congresspeople are surging into Washington, bringing to their new majority calls not only to overturn health care reform but to ban earmarks and to generally stall major legislation on the Democrats' agenda. Meanwhile, there seems to be little coming out from Obama and most of the Democrats on what is exactly on their agenda for the next two years.David Corn, Gara LaMarche, and Calling It Torture

September 24, 2010Provisions of the much-disputed health care bill go into effect today, just as the Republicans unveil their new "Pledge to America," which includes a promise to repeal the law. But as the most popular bits are the ones that go into effect now, and, David Corn notes, health insurance companies aren't getting any more popular--will allying themselves with the big insurers help Republicans? Or will people realize that they like the regulations just as Republicans try to pull them back?David Corn, Fatima Bhutto, and the War on Drugs

July 21, 2010A massive workers’ struggle in Panama resulting in week-long strikes and fatal clashes with the police? Drug cartel wars leaving twenty-two dead in a single day in Mexico? Does any of this sound familiar? Most likely not, seeing as how it appears to be a complete mass media whiteout on these topics in America. Since the American media seems to think that omission means non-existence, we asked our Latin American correspondent Greg Grandin to enlighten us on the actual goings-on in Panama, Mexico, and the American media’s harsh critique of Oliver Stone’s recent exposé on South America and exploitation, South of the Border.The F Word: Rolling Over on Shirley Sherrod
July 21, 2010How many times is the Obama administration going to roll over for Glenn Beck? That's the question once again, this time as Shirley Sherrod, a Department of Agriculture official, is forced out of her job following the airing of a selectively-edited video of her speech at an NAACP banquet in March. The video, cut to make it appear as if the African-American Sherrod was a “reverse racist,” has since been released in full, clearing Sherrod.David Corn: Confirming General Kagan
June 30, 2010What’s in a constitutional interpretation? As Thomas Jefferson once wrote to James Madison, “the principle is that the earth belongs to the living, and not the dead.” Over the centuries, many Supreme Court Justice’s have either uphold, or lost track of this, on one hand amending the constitution towards a more perfect union, on the other passively, calling the “balls and strikes” in accordance with the extant constitution.David Corn, Social Media, and the New Depression

April 8, 2010On Tuesday, the Obama White House released its Nuclear Posture Review, a policy statement that sets guidelines for nuclear weapons policy for the next five to ten years. Mother Jones' David Corn notes that arms control advocates were "mildly impressed" with the policy, which is being characterized as a middle course.David Corn, Wikileaks Video, and Mine Safety
