“Miracle on the Hudson” pilot Chesley Sullenberger says the two recent crashes of a new Boeing passenger jet show the federal government has lost the ability to effectively regulate the company. Sullenberger said the Federal Aviation Administration has been underfunded for “too many years.” That reality has forced the FAA to outsource the work of approving aircraft to the manufacturers themselves. “This, of course, has created inherent conflicts of interest,…

Margaret Sullivan As amorous embraces go, few could be more ardent than the one Beto O’Rourke got this month from Vanity Fair magazine. The perfectly timed cover treatment was the full monty: Rugged-glam photo by the legendary Annie Leibovitz, the former Texas congressman’s earnest Kennedy-esque gaze, and the ripe-for-parody headline including this immortal quote: “I’m just born to be in it.” Most Americans wouldn’t see the magazine itself, of course,…

(EL PASO, Texas) — Immigration officials say a Mexican migrant died Monday after his arrest near an urban border crossing. U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced the death Tuesday, saying agents arrested the 40-year-old man early Sunday for re-entering the country illegally. His identity wasn’t released. He died at an El Paso hospital after receiving treatment for flu-like symptoms and liver and kidney failure. He’s the fourth migrant to die…

One can spend several days trying not to overreact to President Trump’s latest, unprovoked tweetstorm against the late Sen. John McCain R-Ariz., yet still conclude that there is something sick and twisted about Trump’s obsession with the singular American hero Trump disparages. Tom Rogan already in these pages has eloquently explained why, fake heel spurs or no fake heel spurs, Trump could never be fit to wear McCain’s discarded shoes….

An illegal immigrant died in Texas over the weekend after being detained by Border Patrol agents — the fourth known case since December. The 40-year-old Mexican man, who has not been identified, was apprehended by border officials on March 17. He was diagnosed with flu-like symptoms, liver failure, and renal failure after he was taken to Las Palmas Medical Center in El Paso, Texas, that same day. He died the…

A new poll shows former Vice President Joe Biden gaining momentum as the front-runner among Democratic primary voters. The results of a Morning Consult survey released Tuesday has Biden, who hasn’t declared his candidacy yet, at 35 percent among all Democratic primary voters, with Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., trailing at 27 percent. The other candidates fall far behind in the single digits. The poll also illustrates that support for Biden…

Special counsel Robert Mueller’s office asked a court for an 11-day extension on a filing deadline Tuesday — claiming that, for the time being, key attorneys on their team were too busy with “the press of other work.” The reference immediately raised eyebrows among close watchers of the special counsel’s work — because there are no known important deadlines in Mueller cases coming up. So what, then, is Mueller’s team…

Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., is very mad that people make fun of him on Twitter. He’s so mad, in fact, that he’s bringing a $250-plus million defamation lawsuit against the social media company and his Twitter antagonists, including accounts titled “Devin Nunes’ Mom” and “Devin Nunes’ Cow.” Because the ranking member on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and co-sponsor of the “Discouraging Frivolous Lawsuits Act” apparently has nothing…

A woman who climbed the base of the Statue of Liberty last July 4 to protest the separation of families at the Mexican border came to her sentencing Tuesday with her face entirely covered with clear sticky tape, irritating a judge who refused to proceed until she removed it. After she did so, U.S. Magistrate Judge Gabriel W. Gorenstein spared Therese Okoumou from prison for her conviction on multiple misdemeanor…

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump praised Brazil’s new far-right leader Tuesday as he welcomed him to the White House, saying the man who’s been described as the “Trump of the Tropics” has done “a very outstanding job.” Trump said President Jair Bolsonaro had run “one of the incredible campaigns,” saying he was “honored” it had drawn comparisons with his own 2016 victory. And he predicted the two would have a…
