Trump Meets With Hard-Right Group Led by Ginni Thomas

At the meeting, which was unusual for the spouse of a Supreme Court justice and a president, the activists denounced women serving in the military and questioned the administration’s hiring.

Individual #1 has bad taste in advice.

It is years late to worry.

A Bruised Trump Faces Uncertain 2020 Prospects. His Team Fears a Primary Fight.

With his approval rating sinking, and foes within the party wooing potential Republican challengers, aides to the president are working to shore up his support.

The beatings will continue.

Are You My Husband?

A biking accident alters the dynamic of a couple’s marriage, for worse (and for better).

Traumatic brain injury is a tough one.

She Wanted to Drive, So Saudi Arabia’s Ruler Imprisoned and Tortured Her

The U.S. should pressure Saudis to respect the human rights of outspoken women.

Stone-Cold Loser

Will the dawn raid on the Prince of Darkness shine a light on the Trump campaign’s original sin?

Maureen Dowd has no reason to like Rodger Stone.

Spinal Fractures Can Be Terribly Painful. A Common Treatment Isn’t Helping.

Injections of bone cement into fractured vertebrae fail to relieve pain any more than a placebo does, researchers found.

Avoid the treatments if you can.

With Pain Still Fresh, Lawmakers Make Push to Outlaw Shutdowns

The toll of the latest impasse has prompted members of both parties to push for legislation that would ensure that the government wouldn’t be closed again as part of a budget negotiation.

I will be surprised if shutdowns are outlawed.

Opinion

Yes, Venezuela Is a Socialist Catastrophe

In the age of A.O.C., the lesson must be learned again.

Oil companies do not like losing their profits to confiscation.
The profits stayed offshore.

Trump’s Wall of Shame

It would stand as a lasting reminder of the white racial hostility surging through this moment in American history.

Another "dog whistle".

Trump and Far-Right Movement Battle Over Manhattan G.O.P. Club After Proud Boys Brawl

Republican factions are fighting for control of a political club whose invitation of a far-right group ended in a street fight.

Zombie hooligans.

El Chapo Trial Suggests Trump’s Wall Would Do Little to Stop Drug Smuggling

Though the president’s pet project has never been mentioned in 10 weeks of testimony, the trial does have something to add to the debate about it.

True.

The N.F.L. Confronts More Controversy, This Time on the Field

The league had largely avoided fan furor over this season, but disputed calls in Sunday’s two thrilling conference championship games brought it right back.

Why Are Young People Pretending to Love Work?

I saw the greatest minds of my generation log 18-hour days — and then boast about #hustle on Instagram. When did performative workaholism become a lifestyle?

There is no limit to the demands of employers.

Did the Queen Just Weigh In on Brexit?

Queen Elizabeth is supposed to remain neutral, but some saw a veiled reference to Brexit in a recent speech. Now, others want her to go further and dissolve Parliament.

Brexit splits both the Tory and Labor parties.
Government is necessary and must function.

Opinion

A Woman to Vanquish Trump

To see this president lose to a woman would start to heal the injury of his repulsive reign.

One must deal with the facts.

20
Opinion

The Loneliness of the Moderate Democrat

‘It takes a lot of spine to be a centrist in America today.’

Left is an amazingly arbitrary designation.
It seems to mean more liberal than Donald Trump.

There is a large distance between the center of the political spectrum
and the middle of the political distance between the Democratic and Republican parties.
