At 50, the Hyde Amendment's lifesaving legacy needs defending

On Wednesday, the federal Hyde Amendment turns 50 years old. First passed on Sept. 30, 1976, the Hyde Amendment is a provision of the annual appropriations bill that funds the Department of Health and Human Services.

Zero taxpayer dollars, 470-day delays: An easy GOP victory waits in the Senate

Thanks to President Donald Trump’s leadership, working-class voters are trending Republican after generations of leaning Democratic. In 2019, Democrats were still more likely to call themselves working-class, 46% to Republicans’ 34%. That reversed by 2022, and today 67% of Republicans call themselves working-class, climbing to 82% among Republicans in blue-collar jobs.

Biden paused oil, Trump stalled wind. Our crisis has no party
