The Robots Have Descended on Trump Country

They are leaving many ‘casualties of history’ in their wake.

Routine Jobs can be handled.  Design and process design require more attention.

Opinion

The Chuck and Nancy and Donald Show

If Tuesday’s Oval Office meeting is any indication, it’s going to be a rough two years.

It had better be a rough year for all of them.
It should be an impossible year for Donald.

The Oil Industry’s Covert Campaign to Rewrite American Car Emissions Rules

Energy giants and conservative groups have been aggressively pushing Trump’s rollback of fuel efficiency rules for automobiles, a Times investigation found.

There was nothing covert about the campaign.

Opinion

The Democrats’ Best Response to Republican Power Grabs

The best option goes beyond retaliation or restraint.

"Locking the barn door after the horse is stolen" is considered foolish.

Obituaries

Ms. Locke, who received an Academy Award nomination for her first film, “The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter,” starred in several movies with Clint Eastwood, with whom she had a turbulent relationship.

Michael Cohen Sentenced to 3 Years After Implicating Trump in Hush-Money Scandal

The sentencing in Manhattan capped a startling fall for Mr. Cohen, who is a central figure in the payments to a adult-film star and a former Playboy model.

Yes.   I know more than I did.

Can We Really Inherit Trauma?

Headlines suggest that the epigenetic marks of trauma can be passed from one generation to the next. But the evidence, at least in humans, is circumstantial at best.

Culture is inherited through nongenetic pathways.
Word choice matters.

Opinion

The Presidency or Prison

What happens if re-election is Trump's best hope of avoiding an indictment?

Nancy Pelosi’s Coat Catches Fire

It’s the boldest piece of political outerwear since, you know, that other coat.

The happy smile is most informative.

U.S.

Pelosi and Dissident Democrats Reach Deal to Limit Her Speakership to 4 Years

The agreement, which if adopted by House Democrats would also bind the party’s other two top leaders, almost certainly clears the way for Nancy Pelosi to be elected speaker next month.

In four years the matter may be moot
Napoleon refused the crown three times.

Theresa May Fights No-Confidence Vote Amid Brexit Disarray

The U.K. prime minister promised to contest the ballot of her party’s lawmakers, scheduled for Wednesday evening, “with everything I’ve got.”

No deal seems probable.

Suicide, Quarterbacks and the Hilinski Family

Tyler Hilinski, a quarterback at Washington State, killed himself in January and was posthumously diagnosed with C.T.E. His brother is a star recruit at the same position. It’s raw and complicated.

Football should not be played.

Troubled by Lapses, Government’s Voice to the World Braces for New Trump Management

It will please Texas.

From Arizona to Yemen: The Journey of an American Bomb

When a bomb like this explodes, it doesn’t just kill people; it rearranges them.

There are no excuses for the weapons trade in pursuit of religious purity.

Travel

In Chilean Patagonia, Following a Track to the End of the World

In a remote park on Chile’s new Route of Parks, a rugged landscape yields riches for wildlife lovers.

Mr. Mayor, Why No Outrage Over a Mother’s Brutal Arrest?

Days after the police yanked a baby from a woman in a welfare office, no clear word on why.

It is difficult to make people hear.

I have found plenty of outrage.
