Global warming will hit Florida especially hard. Might be a good time to stop voting for Republicans there.


Sonia Sotomayor's dissent in today's Affirmative Action ruling pulls no punches. She is not happy -- and she's completely correct.


Republican Senator John Boozman of Arkansas undergoes emergency heart surgery. He's expected to make a full recovery.


Is Republican opposition to marriage equality crumbling?


The conception mandate in Obamacare is actually very popular.


Finally, Canada's middle class surpasses America's for wealth, while a new study shows that one in three US deaths is the direct result of income inequality.
