Nominee for ambassador to Iraq withdraws

Sources on Capitol Hill praised the White House for “finally waking up” to the fact that former National Security Council member Brett McGurk was unfit to serve as the next ambassador to Iraq.

Foul Play: War on women is real [by Sen. Barbara Boxer]

Suppose it’s the championship basketball game and one player is committing foul after foul. Each time, he denies he’s committed any offense.

Eventually, he fouls out. But even as he heads to the bench, he’s protesting that he did nothing wrong.

That’s what we’re seeing today from Republicans who claim there is no “war on women.” The Republican National Committee chairman likened it to a “war on caterpillars.”

But whether it’s sports or [...]

The U.S. Senate passed a two-year, $109 billion surface-transportation bill as states began to assess the impact of a provision that penalizes them for hiring companies to run highways.

Democrats In California Declare War On Farmers

Politics: To leftist food scolds, eating more vegetables is important. So why are California’s two Democratic senators having a cow about a water bill that would let their Central Valley’s farmers grow more veggies?
