Donald Trump: A Modern Manchurian Candidate?

The onus is on the president-elect to prove he’s not Putin’s puppet.

"When did you stop beating your wife?"

As with Trump's statements during the campaign,
we must take the dossier as possibly true.
Each point must be refuted in detail.

Baltimore Agrees to Broad Change for Troubled Police Dept.

A scathing Justice Department report last year accused officers of systematically harassing black residents. Now, the city has agreed to a consent decree.

The deal is with the court in Baltimore.

"With its report, the Justice Department put the city’s problems on the record and set in motion negotiations on a consent decree, a process that the new administration could embrace or abandon."

The Senate Hearings on Donald Trump’s Nominees

One reader is alarmed by nominees’ denial of climate change. Another notes that some of Donald Trump’s picks are at odds with him on major issues.

The Long Reach of the Aliso Canyon Gas Leak

When a geyser of gas began spewing from the ground in October 2015, it was just the beginning of an energy and environmental crisis in Southern California with far-reaching repercussions.

The wells into the Aliso Canyon formation are unreliably plugged.
The formation must be drained and abandoned.
There are other formations. 
Bigger pipes are another possibility.
