HISTORICAL FACTS: 31 | History Defined

Editorial: The filibuster is further endangering abortion rights. It's time to scrap it

The irony is thick: A Republican president took office despite getting fewer votes than his opponent, then installed three conservative Supreme Court justices — and now that court majority has ignored America’s majority, not to mention its own precedent, to impose its ideological will on society. The fall of Roe…

Editorial: Missouri legislation previewed how far post-Roe radicals may be ready to go

One of the more shameful moments in congressional history was the passage in 1850 of the Fugitive Slave Act. It required that even slavery-free Northern states must abet that evil institution by returning enslaved people who’d escaped from the South and believed they had attained freedom.

Editorial: Damning testimony brings Trump closer to the prospect of jail time

Tuesday’s blockbuster testimony before the House Jan. 6 Select Committee brought the American public directly into former President Donald Trump’s inner White House sanctum to understand his thinking and motivation as the Capitol insurrection was being planned and launched. The evidence and testimony strongly suggest that he knew an attack…

Editorial: Missouri's abortion ban is wrong. But voters, not prosecutors, must change it

Last week’s Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade has left officials like St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell with a dilemma: His job is to prosecute violations of the law. But as of last Friday, Missouri law criminalizes abortion services from the moment of conception, even for victims…

Editorial: Greitens claims his violent campaign video is humorous. No, it's dangerous

Did you hear the one about the Republican Senate candidate who suggested killing any Republican who isn’t deemed conservative enough? It’s a real knee-slapper. Especially with recent horrendous mass shootings, public officials getting death threats and the country watching a forensic review of how a former president’s violent rhetoric spurred…

ST. LOUIS — Into the breach of injured Cardinals starters and tired relievers Monday night marched Adam Wainwright, two months short of 41 years. The 17-season veteran knew he was going to be on the mound for six or seven innings, for 100 or so pitches, no matter the score.

Lynn Schmidt: Politically speaking, it is possible to walk and chew gum at the same time

Editorial: Biden's gas tax holiday idea is sputtering at the starting line. It should

President Joe Biden’s call for a three-month suspension of the 18-cent federal gas tax in response to soaring gas prices has, thankfully, landed with a bipartisan thud in Congress. The idea, an old fallback for politicians when pump prices rise, is virtually always a bad one, providing meager relief to…

Editorial: The market won't fix obscene insulin prices. It's time for congressional action
