The thing that bothers me most about the Democrats' current arguments over which issues "cost us the election" is the apparent lack of concern about what we think is right.

The hypocrisy of choosing positions based entirely on what you think will win an election is a major part of why so many people have given up on participating in the process. What we are seeing is no longer a matter of choosing which battles to fight, based on an underlying set of principles. The principles have been thrown out, leaving only hypocrisy. We firmly believe in...whatever will get us elected this time around.

It may be necessary to focus on a limited set of objectives, but that can be done without disavowing everything else. We need to stop ignoring, or apologizing for, our belief in the worth and dignity of every human being.

President-elect Donald Trump's pick to lead the Pentagon, Fox News personality Pete Hegseth, has faced a barrage of criticism over allegations of sexual assault and alcohol abuse. But another aspect that has long raised alarms among military experts is his stated desire to use the military as a means of spreading Christian nationalism around the world — a mission at odds with both the Constitution's freedom of religion amendment and the military's non-ideological purpose.

President Joe Biden should use his pardon power to proactively shield people President-elect Donald Trump and his FBI nominee Kash Patel have singled out for retribution — and ignore the "myths" people are promulgating to argue he should refrain from doing so, former conservative turned-anti GOP pundit Jennifer Rubin wrote for The Washington Post on Monday.
