The leftward drift of the 2020 Democratic presidential candidates seems to reflect a common frustration within the party’s base: Democrats have simply never dreamed big enough. Perhaps, lefties suspect, Democratic politicians have been cowed by bad-faith accusations of socialism. Or — worse — they’ve been captured by big-money special interests. Implicitly or explicitly, a slate of recent books and essays… [ 713 more words ]

President Trump outside the White House on Monday. (Jabin Botsford/The Washington Post) Max Boot Columnist covering national security I can’t help thinking we are losing the plot in the controversy regarding the New York Times and Supreme Court Justice Brett M.

John Wagner National reporter leading The Post's breaking political news team September 19 at 8:27 PM House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.) warned of possible legal action Thursday if intelligence officials did not share a potentially explosive whistleblower complaint prompted by President Trump’s interactions with a foreign leader. Schiff called acting director of national intelligence Joseph Maguire’s refusal to share the complaint with Congress “unprecedented” and said he understood the Justice Department was involved in that decision.

AR-15 rifles on display in 2012 at the California Department of Justice in Sacramento. (Rich Pedroncelli/AP) C**t, a U.S. fi****ms company that traces its history to the 1830s, announced Thursday that it would suspend the production of rifles for the civilian market — including the AR-15, a weapon infamous for its popularity among the country’s mass shooters. There are already so many of the weapons in the country that the market is saturated and executives decided “it is good sense to follow consumer demand,” the manufacturer’s president and chief executive said in a statement.

Shane Gillis, who was to join the cast of "Saturday Night Live." (Phil Provencio/AP) On Monday, the Internet was chortling over a tweet — “God doesn’t cancel people” — so laughably incorrect that it trended for hours. To “cancel,” as the word has recently been defined , is to boycott a public figure for an alleged wrongdoing. Sometimes cancellation causes that person to lose status and, for a time, recede from view. [ 806 more words ]

Fort Collins, Colorado has decided it's not worth the money to fight for its ordinance banning women from appearing topless in public. It's a victory for "Free the Ni**le," a global movement seeking equal treatment for women. In February, when it was cold enough that few would want to go topless in the community north of Denver, the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a federal judge's conclusion that the law amounted to unconstitutional discrimination.

A Delta plane traveling from Atlanta to Fort Lauderdale on Wednesday made an emergency landing in Tampa, Florida, after plunging nearly 30,000 feet in less than seven minutes, sparking fear and panic among passengers. Brandon Tomlinson, who was on the flight with his 1-year-old son and his mother, told BuzzFeed News that it happened about 35 minutes after takeoff. "All of a sudden the oxygen masks dropped out and you started hearing this real howling sound, which I think was the engine because the pilot was diving to get below," he said. [ 418 more words ]

An offer from the world's richest nations to help Brazil stamp out the Amazon fires with $20 million in aid is a goodwill gesture, but it will barely make a dent in preventing further destruction of the rainforest's vast and intricate ecosystem, observers who have studied the region say.

President Donald Trump's re-election campaign attacked Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in a campaign email on Tuesday for her calls to abolish the Electoral College, telling supporters that "this is our country, not theirs." The attack was prompted by comments Ocasio-Cortez made last week in which she called the Electoral College a "scam" and said that the constitutionally-mandated way the U.S. picks its presidents dilutes the voting power of people of color as well as voters in large cities.

Enlarge / Another Model 3 angle. Elon Musk admitted Tuesday that Tesla is delaying a planned $1,000 price increase for its full self-driving package. The move comes after Tesla failed to release "smart summon" technology for parking lot navigation in mid-August, as Musk predicted Tesla would do in a July tweet. Musk now says that he expects smart summon to be released in "about 4 to 8 weeks." But there's ample reason to doubt this new timeline. [ 589 more words ]
