She did everything a loyalist could do. She bowed to his whims. She
weaponized the Justice Department, turning it into the weapon and tool
of a vengeful president. She fired all those who had dared to do their
jobs and investigate him, or ...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>

The Republicans are determined to pass it. It's their Hail Mary pass for
the midterms. If you can't win an election fair and square, then
suppress the votes. Disenfranchise those who aren't likely to vote for
you. Create a phony problem that you...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>

President Donald Trump has a problem with the Supreme Court, which
finally said no to him on tariffs. He doesn't like an independent
judiciary. He thinks Justices should do what the president who appointed
them wants. He thinks the Founding ...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>

Why are we there? Is it because Israel was going to go there
first/anyway, or because we wanted Israel to go? What are we doing

It is a Washington Post exclusive. They must have been tipped off. They

I'm the last person to defend her. For starters, I'm a dog lover and
shooting a puppy you "hate" because you couldn't train her to hunt
pheasant is no way to win my respect. The fact that she told the story

A very bad guy is gone. We did it. Yes, we can. But was he a threat to

Stephen Colbert was right to be mad. His bosses at CBS put the kabosh on

Getting rid of Gregory Bovino, who had been the face (intentionally so)
of President Donald Trump's war on immigrants, is a first step, but it
