Alan Colmes appears to be going the Ed Schultz route and practically begging Elizabeth Warren just to come clean. Like Schultz, Colmes still is a supporter, but feels a pain from Warren twisting in the winds which have come sweeping off the plains of Warren's obfuscation...

While Elizabeth Warren is doing well in the polls, her story about not promoting herself as Native American for professional purposes continues to fall apart. Michael Patrick Leahy, writing at Breitbart.com today, links to an article in the Spring 1993 issue of the student-run Harvard Women's Law Journal, when Warren...

She's digging in, bolstered by headlines that much of the electorate doesn't care, via MassLive: Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren said Thursday that she knows she has Native American ancestry because her mother told her so. Warren’s comments came after nearly four minutes of tense back and...

The Elizabeth Warren Cherokee saga is like opening up a Russian matryoshka doll, there's always something else inside. Or perhaps more appropriately, like peeling back The Onion.

That's part of a comment from reader stevewhitemd to my interview with Marisa DeFranco, who is challenging Elizabeth Warren in the Democratic primary: If Harvard were better at having a diverse professorship, it would not have to put someone who appears as white as I am out...

As I mentioned the other day, Marisa DeFranco is challenging Elizabeth Warren in the Massachusetts Democratic Senate primary.  In light of Warren's three-week long Cherokee disaster, I reached out to DeFranco to get her take on the controversy and the primary race.
