RFK Jr.'s VP Pick Is a Missile Aimed at Biden

By: Paul Begala， CNN
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s independent presidential campaign can't win, but it could swing the presidency to former President Donald Trump. Kennedy's selection Tuesday of Nicole Shanahan, a Democratic donor from Northern California, as his running mate is the final point of proof that the RFK campaign is a heat-seeking missile aimed at Biden.

Ukraine Is Not Losing; US Aid Must Continue

By: Evelyn Farkas， The Hill
The congressional faction that opposes Ukraine assistance shares a common talking point with the Kremlin - that Ukraine is losing the war with Russia anyway.

By: Amy Wang， Washington Post
Donald Trump, his campaign and his allies invoked religion in a flurry of political grievances this weekend, including by attacking President Biden for acknowledging International Transgender Day of Visibility - which happened to fall this year on Easter Sunday - and by making false claims that Biden newly prohibited children from submitting religious egg designs to a White House Easter art contest.

Rep. Khanna Wants To Be the Future of Democratic Party

By: Russell Berman， Atlantic
In January, as the 2024 primary season got under way, Representative Ro Khanna stood in the middle of a spacious New Hampshire living room and marveled at the dozens of Democrats who had crammed in. "What enthusiasm for President Biden!" Khanna said as the crowd cheered. The California progressive wasn't in the land of would-be presidents to promote himself-at least not directly. He came here to boost his party's flagging 81-year-old incumbent.

Filing Tax Returns Shouldn't Be This Difficult

By: Bill Harris， CNN
In February, the IRS commissioner defended his agency at a congressional hearing centered on the country's arduous tax code and filing process at a time when some in Congress want to cut IRS funding. While the questioning was ripe with partisan politics, there was a common thread that most politicians and taxpayers could agree on: the need to use technology to make the tax process easier for taxpayers and the IRS itself.

The Nature of Nurture: On Disparity and Development

By: Clifton Roscoe， Substack
As you might have expected, Amy Wax's appearance on the show last week has generated a lot of comments. I take the "racial realism" issue that we spent the latter half of the show debating very seriously. It reframes a dispute that's become central to my thinking: the bias narrative versus the development narrative. Briefly, the bias narrative describes racial disparities in achievement, wealth, crime, and a host of other measures of success as the result of systemic racism, while the development narrative describes those disparities as the result of the inadequate cultivation of skills and...

Putin the Pilate

By: Borys Gudziak， RealClearPolitics
As the American-born son of Ukrainian World War II refugees, I, like many others of that era, grew up listening to stories of the cruelty suffered by Ukrainians at the hands of the Soviet dictatorship.

Two Adams, Two Foundings

By: David Goldman， The American Mind
Charles Kesler's indictment of the conflicting elements in National Conservatism-between religion and secular rationalism; tradition and Constitutionalism; nationalism in the sense of "shared inheritance as the essence of shared identity and common will" and America's "exceptional" nationalism-is so compelling as to make any attempt at refutation pointless. I plead guilty on all counts, but with extenuating circumstances. I signed the National Conservatism manifesto in full awareness of its inconsistencies, and would do so again today.

Why Party Platform Matters

By: Tevi Troy， Pundicity
A friend once told me that he turned 18 during a presidential election year and didn't know which party to support. His uncle had a novel solution: He took the Democratic and Republican platforms, tore the covers off each, and then asked his nephew to read them both and decide which one made more sense. My friend did so, and he found the Republican platform more appealing. He would eventually become a lifelong Republican and a senior official in the George W. Bush administration.

By: Alan Borsuk， CNN
What's so important about 20,000 in an election with 3 million voters? In Wisconsin, the answer is that those seemingly small numbers can spell victory or defeat. In 2016, Republican Donald Trump beat Democrat Hillary Clinton by fewer than 23,000 votes, a key to Trump's overall victory. In 2020, Democrat Joe Biden beat Trump by just over 20,000 votes, a key to Biden's overall victory.
