The Trump administration declared California’s high-speed rail project dead yesterday, even while state officials extolled its beautiful plumage.

Joe Biden at a campaign stop in Iowa City, Iowa, May 1, 2019. (Jonathan Ernst/Reuters) Has Donald Trump made the Democrats pragmatic?

A government of hardliners seemingly reveals an opening for moderates. Will that create a window for world-shifting negotiations? Barack Obama thought so when that described Iran, but will Iran think so after reading the Washington Post’s curious inside look at a supposedly pitched battle within the White House? Because it certainly reads as if that’s
A few weeks ago in this space, I wrote that we were in a submerged constitutional crisis.

(Carlos Barria/Reuters) The central error in Mary Ziegler’s op-ed comes in its second sentence: “By passing bills that would severely restrict abortion, lawmakers in Alabama and Georgia have in effect asked the Supreme Court not only to overturn Roe v.

Kay Ivey. “To the bill’s many supporters, this
Nancy Pelosi doesn’t want to do an impeachment but might stage a pretend one. She floats the idea of “inherent contempt” without saying she wants to use it. So what is Pelosi saying? CNN’s Manu Raju doesn’t seem certain either after his exchange with the top House Democrat on efforts to force the Trump administration to
United Nations logo at U.N. headquarters in New York City (Mike Segar/Reuters) In an unprecedented move that earned reproach from some diplomats, the chairwoman of a U.N. commission recently forced the adoption of a measure that implicitly promotes abortion over the objections of more than one country.

In a speech on the topic of “radical fat liberation” jointly sponsored by the Women and Gender Studies Department and the Center for Equity and Inclusion (what else?) at St. Olaf College in Minnesota, the prodigiously overweight Sonalee Rashatwar, a self-proclaimed Fat Sex Therapist, compared fitness trainers to Nazis, defined child dieting as sexual assault,
