  1. Progress on immigration

    Just when Washington looked like it was completely preoccupied with the scandals, real and imaginary, swirling around the White House, a group of Democrats and Republicans in the Senate managed the unexpected (and, these days, extraordinary): They agreed on something. The vote Tuesday night in the Senate Judiciary Committee to forward to the floor a massive overhaul of the nation's immigration system was, to be sure, a small step and doesn't guarantee success in the full Senate, much less the House of Representatives. But it is, at least, a hopeful sign that gridlock in this divided government is not inevitable.

  2. IRS follows Obama's lead

    Of course the president deserves some of the blame.
    Of course the president deserves some of the blame. Yes, it's extremely unlikely he ordered the IRS to discriminate against tea party, pro-life or Jewish groups opposed to his agenda (though why anyone should take his word for it is beyond me). And...

  3. Two cheers for rebranding

    Ever since Mitt Romney lost the presidential election, there's been a lot of talk about how the Republican Party needs to "rebrand" itself.

  5. What does the NRA say now?

    The rifle Adam Lanza used to kill 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School is a descendant of the military's M-16 rifle. The bullets it fires are not as large as those used in some other rifles, but the gun's high muzzle velocity makes it particularly powerful, and deadly. Mr. Lanza brought with him hundreds of bullets in 30-round magazines, which enabled him to shoot individual victims as many as 11 times. Authorities believe that, if the arrival of police on the scene had not prompted him to kill himself, Mr. Lanza would have continued his rampage. He certainly had the means to do it.

  6. Don't punish Palestinians for seeking justice

    Very few things unite Democratic and Republican senators in Washington. But unfortunately, one thing that does is attacking the human rights of Palestinians. And now they're are at it again. This time in the form of an anti-Palestinian amendment sponsored...

  9. No, Sen. Schumer, compromise is not a dirty word

    As this page has devoted much ink to criticizing Republicans in Congress for hardening their positions on matters of federal tax and budget policy to the point where compromise is impossible, it is beyond disappointing to see a leading Senate Democrat engaging in similar behavior. Whether it's equivalent or not, Sen. Charles E. Schumer went too far this week when he rejected any possibility of lower tax rates for the wealthy.

  11. Marylanders head elsewhere to drum up votes

    With primary battles settled, the conventions over and the general election less than two months away, Democrats and Republicans now turn to the end game: reaching out to persuade the few remaining undecided voters that their nominee is the one to solve the nation's problems.

  12. Whether it's the economy or the Colorado shooting, the left and right view the world in predictable ways

    The gulf between the American left and right continues to widen against a backdrop of high unemployment, weak growth and high octane cultural battles.
