  • Former FBI Director Robert Mueller to lead Trump-Russia probe

    May 18, 2017

    WASHINGTON — Former FBI Director Robert Mueller was given sweeping power Wednesday to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign, with a broad mandate that could encompass any questionable actions of President Donald Trump's associates and possibly even the circumstances of last week's abrupt firing of James Comey.

  • North Korea, a land of few computers and many hackers

    May 18, 2017

    If North Korea is confirmed as the culprit behind the massive ransomware attack known as WannaCry, it raises a question: Why would a country so unpopular around the world risk alienating its few remaining friends? Among the hardest hit of the 150 countries where the virus spread were China and Russia, North Korea’s traditional allies and its only defenders on the U.N. Security Council. Was Pyongyang trying to send them a message, strutting its technical prowess by holding their computers hostage? Or were the motives purely mercenary rather t...

On April 30, after more than a century, the external flow of alcohol from this beer-trading post onto the reservation, which has had so many negative consequences for the tribal nation, finally came to a halt. htt...

  • What is the 25th Amendment, and could it be used to remove Trump?

    May 18, 2017

    Allegations that President Trump asked fired FBI Director James Comey to quash an investigation into his former national security adviser Michael Flynn have caused some political analysts to resurrect a mechanism for the president’s removal from office: the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Conservative columnist Ross Douthat made waves Wednesday morning with a column in the New York Times advocating the use of Section 4 of the 25th Amendment — rather than impeachment — to remove Trump from office. And this isn’t the first time it’s be...
