As a candidate for governor in 2015, Matt Bevin said he “absolutely supported” a Kentucky county clerk who stopped issuing marriage licenses because of her opposition to gay marriage. But four years later, after a court ordered Kentucky taxpayers to pay more than $222,000 in legal fees for the gay and straight couples who sued, outside lawyers for now Gov. Bevin say former Rowan County clerk Kim Davis broke the…

The harsh, frigid weather that has been blamed for nine deaths so far will blast critically low temperatures across the Midwest for at least another day before conditions finally begin to warm up late Thursday, forecasters said. The winter system, created by an extreme polar vortex, will continue to make life especially miserable for Chicago and the rest of the Great Lakes region on Thursday, said the National Weather Service,…

<!– –> × MENU SEARCH QUOTES Cybersecurity A new government report calls China the top cyber-espionage threat to government agencies and U.S. businesses, and warns that the country has “the ability to launch cyber attacks that cause localized, temporary disruptive effects on critical infrastructure — such as disruption of a natural gas pipeline — for days to weeks in the United States.” A day after two landmark indictments against against…

But perhaps more startling than the numbers are the images emerging from the cities and states experiencing this intense cold. Lake Michigan looks like something…

With a little more than a fortnight to go before the government shuts down once more in the absence of a budget deal, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., has publicly touted bringing a debt ceiling deal into the mix of border security negotiations. This should really go without saying, but adding even more brinkmanship into Republicans’ common sense compromise is a terrible call. For one thing, Democrats successfully called President Trump’s…

Over the past few decades, the American public has become more socially liberal on most issues. It has reversed its opposition to gay marriage and marijuana legalization and grown unsupportive of the death penalty. But there’s one issue that’s effectively stagnated, evenly dividing the electorate, with no signs of budging: abortion. Twenty years ago, 56 percent of the country favored legal abortion. Today, that number is 57 percent, with minimal…

U.S. Sen. Rand Paul was awarded more than $580,000 in damages and medical expenses on Wednesday in his lawsuit against the neighbor who tackled him and broke several of his ribs in a dispute over lawn maintenance. A jury in Bowling Green, Kentucky, deliberated less than two hours before delivering the award to the Republican lawmaker who had been attacked while doing yard work at his Kentucky home. Paul had…

It’s hard to comprehend temperatures of minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s much, much colder than the temperature the standard home freezer keeps food at (which is around zero). At -20°F vodka freezes and boiling water will instantly turn to snow if thrown in the air. Combined with wind, this kind of cold causes frostbite to set in on exposed skin in just minutes. It’s a temperature comparable to the weather…

Tuesday’s testimony was linked to the release of the annual “Worldwide Threat Assessment,” a report to Congress that ranks threats to American national security from around the world and provides the public with an unclassified and up-to-date summary of the most pressing threats. Dan Coats, the director of national intelligence, had told lawmakers that North Korea’s leaders “ultimately view nuclear weapons as critical to regime survival.” He said that there…

The company’s weekly updates are sent to its store locations, where management initials the document, “essentially agreeing to deploy whatever instructions the update holds,” said one shift supervisor, who reached out to HuffPost after a callout on Twitter. 

Video Conference committee to begin negotiations on border security funding after government reopens A bipartisan committee of House and Senate lawmakers met for the first time on Wednesday afternoon, aiming to work out a deal on border security. But Democrats and Republicans both dug in over whether new physical barriers are a necessary element. Though both sides expressed optimism they could reach a deal that would stop the government from shutting down again, Democrats…
