Pro-Trump mob storms US Capitol as armed standoff takes place outside House chamber

This is nothing short of a coup attempt, and these are not “protesters”; they’re terrorists trying to undermine American democracy.

Supporters of President Donald Trump have breached the US Capitol and one woman has been shot as one of the most iconic American buildings is engulfed in chaos after Trump urged his supporters to fight against the ceremonial counting of the electoral votes that confirmed President-elect Joe Biden's....

Covid-19 Live Updates: UPS and FedEx Are Moving the First Vaccine Shipments This Weekend

Wait, wasn’t the military supposed to distribute the vaccine? No, because the military is not trained or equipped to act as a postal service, which we already have.

With Pfizer’s vaccine cleared for emergency use on Friday, states eagerly began their own preparations to receive the vaccine within days. Up to 300,000 cases have been traced to a Boston Biotech conference held by Biogen in February.

Pope Francis calls for civil union laws for same-sex couples

This is BIG. The Catholic Church has been one of the most stalwart opponents of gay marriage.

The pontiff’s remarks came in a new documentary and were quoted by the Catholic News Agency. They represent his clearest stance to date on a contentious issue inside the Roman Catholic Church.

Trump Tests Positive for the Coronavirus

Thoughts and prayers for the president and First Lady.

The president’s result came after he spent months playing down the severity of the outbreak that has killed more than 207,000 in the United States and hours after insisting that “the end of the pandemic is in sight.”

"While the Court’s 2015 decision recognizing same-sex marriage held more symbolic weight — it dealt with the central question of same-sex love rather than the messy implications of employment law — today’s ruling has far wider scope."

The Justices affirmed what the queer and trans community has long known: All prejudice on the basis of sex is cut from the same cloth.

Opinion | Why We Should Politicize the Orlando Massacre

‪Four years ago today a gunman unloaded fire on Pulse nightclub. What I wrote at the time.

Political action is how L.G.B.T. people have won many rights. It is also how they should try to prevent another Orlando.
