Katrina vanden Heuvel: Fighting the Class War
September 8, 2010"Class war is when you have corporations sitting on $8 billion," says Katrina vanden Heuvel of complaints from the Right, personified by John McCain's opposition to overturning the Bush tax cuts. Until the economy is back to working for everyone, until our infrastructure is no longer crumbling, it's not time to talk about tax breaks for the rich.Katrina vanden Heuvel, Green Jobs, and Human Rights in the U.S.

August 16, 2010Any semblance of serious deliberation on immigration in Washington has degenerated into a racially charged assault on the children of undocumented immigrants. The attack itself isn't new--so-called anchor baby bills have been festering at the state level--but now it's gone national with viral speed. When Fox Television asked Lindsey Graham to respond to the judicial derailing of SB 1070 a few weeks ago, the Senator ducked and crossed, suggesting that what the nation really needs right now is anti-immigrant policing in its maternity wards.Richard Kim, Public Housing, and Anchor Baby Baiting
August 16, 2010"Who needs gay bashing when you have the Ground Zero mosque?" Richard Kim, senior editor at The Nation, asks guest host Esther Armah. In a week when gay and lesbian couples may see obstacles to their right to marry in California fall away, he notes, right-wing media is strangely silent on the issue. Even Glenn Beck is suddenly sounding a libertarian note.Lindsey Graham Debates Himself on Torture
May 21, 2009Senator Lindsey Graham was a passionate critic of the Bush Justice attorneys during this past summer's Armed Services Committee hearings on interrogation. Lately, however, Graham seems to have had second thoughts on the matter. At a recent Judiciary subcommittee hearing investigating the torture memos, Graham mounted a feisty defense of Jay Bybee, John Yoo and the lawyers who provided legal cover for detainee abuse.The Real Torture Story, Eric Boehlert, and Taking on Starbucks
May 20, 2009We all know that in the run up to the war in Iraq the media ran with the Bush administration’s claim that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction. Now the question of torture, and specifically the possible use of torture to establish a link between Al Qaeda and Iraq, has been drowned out by the Washington drama of what Nancy Pelosi knew and when.
