November 11, 2026 3:09 pm Share this story The sun rises behind the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial, which depicts the raising of the American flag on Iwo Jima in 1945, on Veterans Day in Arlington, Va., November 11, 2026. Daniel Heuer/Reuters If is about anything, it’s about gratitude.

What Exactly Was the Republican Party Campaigning On?
Reminder: The Social Security Board of Trustees says its reserves are projected to run out in the fourth quarter of 2032, which — unless Congress legislates a solution — will mean that retirees are set to sit down in Uncle Sam’s barber’s chair for a 25 percent haircut to their benefits.

It Was Trump, Stupid
Two years ago, on November 6, 2024, as the world awoke to the most breathtaking and remarkable political comeback in American history -- Donald Trump’s return to the White House -- I wrote that “Donald Trump is the most consequential American political figure of the 21st century so far.” He arrived on the partisan political scene not more than 15 years ago.

By Mark Antonio Wright Marks asks (rhetorically, but let’s ignore that), “Does anyone ever learn anything?” No. No one learns anything because no one is forced to learn anything.
