Why Trump's Evangelical Base Won't Much Care If We Leave The Paris Accord
President Donald Trump is reportedly planning to withdraw from the Paris Agreement on climate change, a move that is unlikely to ruffle his evangelical base.
Under the terms of the deal, the U.S. cannot officially withdraw until November 2019. But in signaling an exit from the deal, Trump would make good on one of his major campaign promises and win the favor of the 22 Republican...
Is 'House of Cards' still relevant in a world with a President Trump?
The basis of most fiction is conflict and drama. The depiction of government and politics in fiction lends itself well to this idea. God knows there's enough conflict to go around, whether it's a conflict of philosophies, ideas, or personalities. And most fictional political conflict is usually...

WASHINGTON ― Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said that a commitment to “do no harm” would guide efforts to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement and that elements of the now-defunct Trans-Pacific Partnership would serve as a “starting point” in talks with Canada and Mexico.

Trump's EPA Chief Aided Polluters For Years. Now Suddenly He Says The Mess Is A Priority
//
WASHINGTON — If you listen to Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt, the biggest environmental problem facing the United States isn’t climate change (he doesn’t think that’s real, anyway), or lead-tainted drinking water or brain-damaging pesticides. It’s that Barack Obama didn’t clean up the more than 1,300 most contaminated and hazardous sites across the country.

School segregation rises as black and Latino kids attend intensely segregated, high-poverty schools
In 2017, it is easy to look back on Alabama Gov. George Wallace’s 1963 “Segregation Now, Segregation Forever” speech and think of it as a relic of days gone by—an era in which backward thinking would ultimately give way to progress.

You had the funny feeling that there would be a high-level meeting the next morning...

On the morning of May 12, Attorney General Jeff Sessions revealed that he had instructed federal prosecutors to begin pursuing lengthier prison sentences for drug offenders.
