Alabama May Be Trump Country, but It’s Standing With Sessions

The president’s feud with the attorney general is testing the patience of voters in Alabama, a state where both men easily won elections.

"Trump is upset that Sessions recused himself months ago from the investigation into interactions between Russian officials and the Trump campaign, and that he has not taken a tougher line against his defeated Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton."

Scaramucci Did Not Invent the Word ‘Paranoiac’

As the word makes its way into all kinds of peculiar sentences, it seems worth clearing up one matter: Anthony Scaramucci should not be blamed or credited with inventing it. It is a real word, with a complex history.

The Mooch serves at the pleasure of the president.

Why The Times Published Scaramucci’s Profanities

Scores of our readers expressed surprise when they saw that we published the vulgar comments from the new White House communications director.

"The Times published Mr. Scaramucci’s profanity after top editors, including our executive editor, Dean Baquet, discussed whether it was proper. We decided that it was newsworthy that a top aide to President Trump used such language.
We also knew that many of our readers would want to know what Mr. Scaramucci said, and we did not want them to have to search elsewhere to find out."

Scaramucci is transparent.

Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski, the Health Vote Heroines

They are women. The nation heard them roar.

"That conversation — with Democrat Jack Reed of Rhode Island — was actually more important for the way it captured the growing feeling in the Senate that the president was more than just a little eccentric.
“I think — I think he’s crazy,” said Reed. To which Collins responded, “I’m worried.”
As are we all."
