Video House votes to condemn Trump remarks made toward four congresswomen Trump’s tweets criticizing congresswomen spark calls for impeachment; Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan weighs in. The four progressive congresswomen who are currently in a nasty feud with President Trump offered a not-so-subtle warning to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif, the next time she “singles them out.” Reps.

One by one, the victims were lured to remote locations: an abandoned building in downtown Los Angeles, an empty rooftop in Hollywood, a quiet park in the San Fernando Valley. Each was accused of a transgression against the notorious MS-13 street gang. Each would meet their end in a manner federal investigators described as “medieval.” In one case, court records show, a 16-year-old boy was lured to a canyon and…

One of the symptoms of uneasiness is the inability to stay still. Leana Wen knows this. She’s a doctor. And she was the president of Planned Parenthood until today, when the abortion organization’s board met in secret and pushed her out, after less than nine months on the job, because of “philosophical” differences. They’re uneasy. They can’t stay still. And no wonder: Planned Parenthood is facing more opposition than ever….

President Trump is a gut-level politician who often seems to act on unfiltered impulse. But his string of recent tweets about the self-styled “Squad” of liberal House Democrats feel calculated, not caffeinated. And, despite what a number of GOP pundits have argued, they were not politically stupid. Demeaning, offensive, nativist, unbecoming a president — yes to all that too. But Trump offends for a reason, and his motives for this…

Jeffrey Epstein had “improper sexual contact” with women even while serving out his prison time in Florida, the lawyer for some of his accusers charged Tuesday. Under a highly questionable plea deal that the multimillionaire pedophile was able to cut with prosecutors in Florida in 2008, Epstein served just 13 months behind bars in the private wing of a county jail there. But he was allowed out on a work-release…

Some bystanders captured video of the attack on their cellphones, recording Mr. Garner as he gasped “I can’t breathe,” dying words that became a rallying cry for protesters across the nation. His death was one of several fatal encounters between black people and the police, including the fatal shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., a month later, that catalyzed the national Black Lives Matter movement. Prosecutors did a “rigorous…
