Inspector General Michael Horowitz's report on the Russian investigation and subsequent testimony debunked right-wing talking points about a "deep state" conspiracy against Trump's 2016 campaign, but Attorney General William Barr has been pushing alternate narratives. National affairs correspondent at The Nation, Jeet Heer, writes about Barr’s partisan attacks and the larger systematic problems that are being overshadowed.

In 1965, two intellectual giants debated race and American society in a famous televised debate at the Cambridge Union in England.
