In the Year’s Most Important Senate Race, Can Sherrod Brown Hold On?

The New Republic 

There’s an old saying in politics: Run scared or run unopposed. And in Ohio—ruby red Ohio, according to conventional wisdom—Senator Sherrod Brown surely has to be running scared.

The New Republic 

As the Supreme Court weighed the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case in 2021 and 2022, civil rights advocates noted that this would be no narrow ruling—and that the fallout from overturning Roe v.

The Best Tool to Solve the Housing Crisis

The New Republic 

For a fleeting moment in the pandemic, it was common sense that tenants shouldn’t have to pay rent. How could they pay, amid a world-rending health crisis prompting millions of layoffs, when one might have to choose between shelter, debt payments, or groceries? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s eviction moratorium helped for a time. But landlords found loopholes that allowed them to evict despite the virus, and in August 2021 the Supreme Court killed the mandate off entirely. Housing cases piled up once again. Читать дальше...
