Seventy-five years ago today, American soldiers and our allies undertook an invasion that helped change the world.

Steve King, who has recently come under attack for a long history of racist remarks, is facing a strong challenge for the GOP nomination in 2020.

The esteemed biographer on his process.

Steve King isn’t backing down from his history of white supremacy and racism. And he’s also running for re-election.

Lyndon LaRouche, an eight-time Presidential candidate who ran a cult-like organization that spread bizarre conspiracy theories, has died at 96.

The House GOP has moved to rebuke Iowa Congressman for his racist remarks. What took them so long?

The Polish Government appears ready to approve a law that seeks to whitewash the truth about the role that many Poles played in the Holocaust.

Ben Carson is back and he’s saying some pretty dumb things again.

The 117 CIA officers who have died in our service should not be used to score cheap political points.

Ben Carson announced today that he is skipping the next GOP debate and admitted that he does not see a viable path forward for his campaign. However, he didn’t formally withdraw from the race for the Republican nomination.
