  • 9th Circuit Court declines to quickly reinstate travel ban

    9th Circuit Court declines to quickly reinstate travel ban
    A federal appeals court early Sunday denied an initial bid by the Trump administration to restore its controversial immigration order that had barred refugees and those from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States. A judge in a lower federal court had put a temporary stop to the travel ban. Because the appeals court declined to intervene immediately, affected travelers can enter until at least until Monday. The appeals court set a schedule asking challengers to the law t..

  • Democrats aim to make Steve Bannon a scarier Karl Rove

    Democrats aim to make Steve Bannon a scarier Karl Rove
    Democrats spent years turning George W. Bush strategist Karl Rove into a bogeyman whose mere mention sent liberals' blood boiling. Now, members of Congress are doing the same to top Trump hand Steve Bannon — but in much darker terms. Increasingly, Democratic lawmakers are labeling the former Breitbart chief a "white supremacist" who has no business at the highest echelons of American power. Story Continued Below House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) used the term Thursday, and severa..

    Democrats have no quick fixes in their bid to regain ground lost
    The Gallup organization regularly publishes reports on the partisan leanings of the states, snapshots of the ebb and flow of political self-identifications across the country. The most recent compilation provides one more piece of evidence of the degree to which Americans have moved away from the Democratic Party since former president Barack Obama was first elected. The story of the Democrats over the past eight years is well known. Obama twice won a majority of the popular vote and left the W..

  • With Executive Orders, Trump Embraces Time-Honored Power Move

    With Executive Orders, Trump Embraces Time-Honored Power Move
    President Donald Trump is giving the country a crash course in the use of executive orders. He's signed them so frequently, and with such flourish, and on such a wide array of issues, that it can seem as if he's found some new method to exert power. But that's not so. Executive orders are as old as the republic itself. They don't show up in the Constitution, but their unilateral use has been upheld by the Supreme Court. And there aren't many ways to try to stop a president from enforcing o..

  • Promised land: Under Trump, the religious right is back, big league and stronger than ever

    Promised land: Under Trump, the religious right is back, big league and stronger than ever
    It’s been a heady two weeks for right-wing Christian evangelicals. Never before has a president of the United States — not Reagan or either of the Bushes — delivered so much of their agenda in such short order as Donald Trump has just done. He capped off his string of early valentines to the religious right with the announcement of a Supreme Court nominee who is poised to revoke the rights of women, further tear down the “wall” between church and state and open wider the doors for big monied in..
