WASHINGTON — Picking on a dead man seems like the ultimate bully move. But president Donald Trump continues to trash the late Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., all the same. “I was never a fan of John McCain, and I never will be,” Trump said at the White House on Tuesday, showing that his grudges don’t stop at the graveyard’s edge. That followed a weekend Twitter tirade in which Trump identified…

Boeing is facing scrutiny over the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS), a software program that was created to help its new planes avoid stalling in mid-air.

Senators will be entirely justified when they vote later today to disapprove of President Trump’s (mis)use of supposed “emergency” powers to spend funds for a border wall that Congress did not appropriate for that purpose. The only shame is that the votes won’t be there to override his promised veto. Actually, if Senate Republicans had appropriate self-respect, Trump’s reported treatment of the vote as a “loyalty” test should make them…

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that barring “overwhelming” new evidence she would not pursue impeachment against President Trump because it would be too divisive and “he’s just not worth it.” “I’m not for impeachment,” said Pelosi in an interview with the Washington Post published Monday. “This is news.
