CLOSE The Supreme Court heard arguments about whether a 40-foot-tall cross that memorializes veterans from World War 1 and stands on public land in Maryland is constitutional. (Feb. 27) AP WASHINGTON – The conservative takeover of the Supreme Court that was anticipated following President Donald Trump’s two selections has been stalled by a budding bromance between the senior and junior justices. Chief Justice John Roberts and the court’s newest member, Brett…

“Special thanks to Representative Omar of Minnesota,” Mr. Trump said, expressing gratitude to other attendees, including Sheldon G. Adelson, the billionaire casino magnate and prominent Republican donor, and his wife, Miriam. “Oh, I forgot, she doesn’t like Israel. I’m so sorry.” (Ms. Omar herself was recently the target of death threats. This week, federal agents arrested a New York resident, Patrick W. Carlineo Jr., after he reportedly called her office,…

WASHINGTON — Lawyers representing the Trump administration told the federal judge overseeing the reunification of separated migrant families that it will take one to two years to identify potentially thousands of children. U.S. District Court Judge Dana Sabraw in California ordered last month that children separated before the administration’s “zero tolerance” policy went into effect should be identified. A migrant mother walks with her two daughters on their way to…

Bob Kerrey, the former Nebraska senator and governor, was always one of my favorite politicians in part because his politics weren’t perfectly polished. Among other free-wheeling moments, he called fellow Democrat Bill Clinton an “uncommonly good liar” and said a requirement for becoming president is that you must “want it more than life itself.” Kerrey moved on to academia and now to an investment bank, but hasn’t lost the willingness…

This week’s White House Report Card finds President Trump continuing to be frustrated by immigration policy and stunted on replacing Obamacare, highlights in conservative analyst Jed Babbin’s poor grade. But as Democratic pollster John Zogby notes, the economy is still making jobs and the president is remaking the federal judiciary. Jed BabbinGrade D President Trump had a very rough political week beginning with his threat to close the Mexican border…

Former President Barack Obama issued a warning to Democratic lawmakers to avoid a “circular firing squad” within the party that would devoid policy progress, particularly ahead of the 2020 presidential election.  Speaking in Berlin during an Obama Foundation town hall, the former commander-in-chief said he worried about progressive lawmakers falling victim to “rigidity” within Washington.  “One of the things I do worry about sometimes among progressives in the United States,…

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged Saturday to annex Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank if re-elected, a dramatic policy shift apparently aimed at rallying his nationalist base in the final stretch of the tight race. Israel will go to the polls Tuesday, and Netanyahu’s right-wing Likud party is in a tight race with the new center-right Blue and White alliance, BBC News reported. On Israeli television, Netanyahu said “yes…

President Trump had been vocally considering shutting down the southern border until he scaled back slightly on Thursday, giving Mexico one year to decide whether or not they’ll comply with his demands. His White House team probably talked him back from the ledge, since it seems he’s the only one in his own administration willing to take such a drastic step. Indeed, senior staffers and Department of Homeland Security officials…

Former president Barack Obama touched on growing divisions within his own party, warning against pushes for ideological purity that can result in a “circular firing squad” in a town hall organized by The Obama Foundation in Berlin on Saturday. While taking audience questions about the frustration that comes with lack of change, Obama expressed concern about a lack of compromise in Washington, and said he specifically worries progressive politicians could…

A New York man was arrested and charged Friday with threatening to assault and murder Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, according to authorities. The US Attorney’s Office for the Western District of New York said in a statement that 55-year-old Patrick W. Carlineo, Jr. made the threats in a March 21 phone call to her office. Carlineo told a staffer that Omar, who is one of the first two Muslim women…

(SAN DIEGO) — The Trump administration wants up to two years to find potentially thousands of children who were separated from their families at the border before a judge halted the practice last year, a task that it says is more laborious than previous efforts because the children are no longer in government custody. The Justice Department said in a court filing late Friday that it will take at least…

The Fab Five went to Washington, and a few lawmakers could really use their help. Four members of the “Queer Eye” crew — Bobby Berk, Tan France, Antoni Porowski, and Jonathan Van Ness — visited D.C. this week to discuss legislation such as the Equality Act and the Violence Against Women Act. But they really missed out on some makeover opportunities. Now in its third season, the remade “Queer Eye”…

Senate Republicans say they want “transparency” around the Mueller report — but they keep rejecting a measure that would actually offer it. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) on Thursday, once again, blocked a resolution pushing for the public release of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report. It’s the fifth time Republicans have rejected Democratic efforts to consider the resolution — even as multiple news reports this week questioned how comprehensive Attorney General…

President Donald Trump’s lawyer said on Friday that the Internal Revenue Service should reject a request from the Democratic chair of the House tax-writing committee to produce the president’s tax returns. “If the IRS acquiesces to Chairman Neal’s request, it would set a dangerous precedent,” William Consovoy said in a letter to Treasury Department General Counsel Brent McIntosh. “Once this Pandora’s box is opened, the ensuing tit-for-tat will do lasting…
