Des Moines: An Iowa city filled with art, food and fun

DES MOINES, Iowa — I used to say the best way to see a city was to stay downtown and go for a run. You get in a workout, and you are able to see what a city has to offer (always tell the concierge your route). I don’t run…

Editorial: For the sake of national unity, don't dig in on this Supreme Court nomination

Maybe it’s just wishful thinking, but Justice Stephen Breyer’s retirement announcement offers Republicans a real opportunity. No, not the opportunity to install yet another hard-right conservative on the bench. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell already can claim victory for the kinds of obstructionist and unfair manipulation that yielded the court’s…

Editorial: Wentzville book ban isn't about kids. It's about their culture-warrior parents

For years now, conservative activists have decried “cancel culture,” the phenomenon of suppressing any speech or writing that offends liberal sensibilities. And it is, in fact, an alarming and annoying trend from the left. But in Wentzville today, conservatives have provided a disturbing example of what might be called the…

Editorial: Trial of 3 officers in George Floyd's death is latest test of American justice

Editorial: Americans deserve to know if Gorsuch has forced Sotomayor to work remotely

In an era in which everyone’s a media critic, Nina Totenberg has been getting some exceptionally rough reviews lately. NPR’s veteran Supreme Court watcher last week reported that conservative Justice Neil Gorsuch refuses to wear a mask while sitting next to liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who is diabetic, thus causing…

Editorial: Barring members of Congress from playing stocks could restore public trust.

Ballotpedia tracks what it calls a “personal gain index” showing how much each member of Congress’ personal wealth has changed while in office. For the top 20, the average increase in net worth has been 422% per year. Data like that helps explain why regular Americans hold Congress in such…

Ben Frederickson: MLB and NFL are apples and oranges, but America's pastime should borrow these plays from America's most popular league

One is a juggernaut on a heat-seeking missile’s path for more (of everything), and it is powered by an audience that cannot get enough. The rocket may crash one day, but it's not going to be tomorrow, so full speed ahead.

Editorial: Whether Republicans like it or not, companies aren't obliged to spread lies

The right-wing cable channel One America News is among the worst purveyors of disinformation today, spewing a steady stream of lies regarding the pandemic, election integrity and other issues. But OAN’s pipeline for its toxic product just got narrower. DirecTV’s recent announcement that it will soon stop carrying the channel…

Editorial: Much as Trump tries to obstruct Jan. 6 inquiry, Supreme Court won't play along

During his single presidential term, Donald Trump had a penchant for referring to federal judges and Supreme Court justices as though they ruled based on loyalty to the presidents who nominated them. Thus, Trump suggested, there were “Obama judges” and Trump judges. In 2018, Chief Justice John Roberts issued a…

Editorial: Novak Djokovic's coronavirus double fault

Top-ranked tennis star Novak Djokovic finally got his comeuppance for reckless behavior unbecoming of a global sports ambassador.
