Sen. Joe Manchin III said Thursday that if he runs for president his first choice for running mate would be Sen. Mitt Romney. The West Virginia Democrat was coy, as he has been for months, on whether he actually would make such a third-party or other bid for the White House. But much more direct […]
This is sure happening a lot lately. Seems everything near, dear, cuddly, and familiar is somehow being tainted by other things that aren’t quite right. Disney’s dead to us, beavers in children’s Saturday cartoons have mastectomy scars, plant-based Kraft macaroni and cheese, and men in tuck bathing suits win ladies’ swimming championships. In some instances, […]
Republicans are favored to win back control of the U.S. Senate in November, but how big of a majority could they win? Well, it will depend on a number of critical races that are at the moment too close to call based on the polls. One such race is in Arizona, where Republicans hope […]
OPINION: It has long been said that those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach. And then there is Congress. No matter how hopelessly stupid, lazy or incompetent you may be, there is always a home for you in Washington, the town where nobody ever gets fired and everybody eats. You might say that clowns […]

The decision marks a surprise turnaround for Hogan, a […]
“Because the text is capable of supporting the secretary’s interpretation, and considering the clear import of the ballot title and explanatory statement in this case, we agree with the secretary that voters would have understood the amendment to mean that a legislator with 10 or more unexcused absences during a legislative session would be disqualified […]
The weaponization of ballot access continues. On Thursday, the Oregon Supreme Court declared that ten Republican state senators could not seek reelection. Why? It has nothing to do with Trump. It’s because they staged a walkout for six weeks, preventing a quorum and effectively stalling legislation on abortion, transgender treatments, and gun control. […]
JAKARTA, Indonesia — Indonesia’s top security minister has resigned from the Cabinet of President Joko Widodo to focus on running for vice president in this month’s election. Mohammad Mahfud M.D. said he was resigning to concentrate on the Feb. 14 election in which he is the running mate of former Central Java Gov. Ganjar Pranowo […]
Every once in a while, you come across a news story that brings a schadenfreudelicious smile to your face. For me, it happened Tuesday night when I stumbled across a tweet from Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter Greg Bluestein.
