  2. Newtown tragedy brings bipartisanship back to Congress

    They started out with a lot in common -- Joe Manchin and Patrick Toomey. Sure, one's a Democrat and one's a Republican, but they're both conservatives, both longtime gun owners and both sport an "A" rating from the National Rifle Association.

  3. EPA nominee a champion for public health

    On Thursday, the U.S. Senate will hold a confirmation hearing on Gina McCarthy, President Barack Obama's nominee to lead the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

  4. Virginia, Maryland lawmakers spar over FBI move

    Lawmakers from Virginia pressed a House of Representatives panel Wednesday to forgo a requirement that a potential new FBI headquarters be located close to the Capital Beltway, a provision they said gives Maryland an unfair advantage as the two states compete for the lucrative development.

  5. Fixing the filibuster

    The filibuster is back in the news, thanks to Sen. Rand Paul's nearly 13-hour talkathon on U.S. drone policy last week. Putting aside the merits of Mr. Paul's national security views, his feat of endurance was in the best tradition of the Senate. He used his right to unlimited debate on the Senate floor to draw the attention of his fellow citizens to an issue of profound national importance.

  7. Democrats riding high for now, but beware a midterm crash

    My columnist and television pundit gigs have me thinking a great deal about the relative positions of the two parties heading into the midterm election cycle.

  8. Sequestration was Obama's idea; now he doesn't like it?

    I was dismayed by your recent, misleading article on the Republican's responsibility for the budget sequester (The GOP sequester," Feb. 22).
    I was dismayed by your recent, misleading article on the Republican's responsibility for the budget sequester (The GOP sequester," Feb. 22). Jack Lew, the White House chief of staff and budget director, set up the sequester in 2011, and Rob Nabors,...

  9. Sequester is proof of Obama's incompetence

    Regarding your recent editorial on the impending across-the-board cuts in federal spending, since the "sequester" plan originally was introduced by the White House, to call it a "GOP sequester" is a misnomer ("The GOP sequester," Feb. 22).

  10. Md. military bases brace for reductions

    Midshipmen at the Naval Academy could spend less time training at sea, some gates into Fort Meade could be shut down and routine maintenance at military installations across the state could be delayed under federal budget cuts set to begin Friday.

  11. Social Security braces for budget cuts, frustrated public

    Checks will arrive on time, but nearly every other task the Social Security Administration performs &mdash; from answering phones to determining eligibility for claims &mdash; will be delayed if Congress fails to stop steep federal budget cuts from taking effect this week, officials warned Monday.

  12. It's the 'Obama sequester'

    I guess many of The Sun's readers are of the "low information" type who are not exposed to counter-points that would rebut the mantra of the left ("The GOP sequester," Feb. 22). Let me explain.
