Suggesting a level of cluelessness seldom seen outside City Hall, Pimlico's owner outraged by weather's effects on outdoor seating.

Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner used a messaging application to conduct U.S. business outside government channels, Elijah Cummings, the chairman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, said Thursday.

The Kushner Cos., a firm run by White House adviser Jared Kushner's family, just purchased 6,000 properties in Maryland and Virginia, adding to an already sizable real estate holding in the Mid-Atlantic region.

Biased federal laws that have subjected a generation of African-American men to unfair, lengthy prison sentences may finally see reform thanks to an unlikely ally in President Donald Trump.

It appears that Jamal Khashoggi, a Washington Post columnist and legal resident of the United States, has been murdered in a plan likely developed and carried out by the Saudi Arabia government inside their Istanbul consulate. Why is Trump afraid to criticize Saudi Arabia?

What if the results of the Mueller probe into Russian meddling in our 2016 presidential campaign prove to be as big as Watergate or the storied Teapot Dome scandal? What if the “see, hear, speak no evil” approach of the GOP regarding Trump, in retrospect, the dumbest political decision ever made?

Trump will kill the Mueller investigation before it renders a report. Removal by impeachment will never get two-thirds votes in the Senate for the foreseeable future. The only hope is conviction of his nibs of a significant felony. Trump and his son-in-law may have committed just such a felony.

Everybody knows Donald Trump's presidency is like a realty TV show. Except it's not. Right medium, wrong genre. Watching cable TV coverage of the government shutdown, I have come to believe this chaotic presidency is a prime-time soap opera - one of the trashy 1980's productions like "Dallas."

Some say you should change for change’s sake. Others respond with the often heard phrase that “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” These opposing approaches to the need for — and the value — of change are each misguided.

Robert Mueller isn't running out of gas in his investigation, says Bill Press; he's just getting into high gear.

Forget Russia, there appears to be evidence of collusion between Team Trump and Israel, says Rachel Marsden.

Can you imagine the dread, the slow-burning existential panic that overtakes White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and Press Secretary Sean Spicer on Friday evenings? After Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner — who are known to have a calming effect on the president -— head off to honor the Jewish Sabbath, Messrs. Priebus and Spicer have to white-knuckle it until dawn, gripping their phones with tobacco-stained fingers as they constantly refresh Twitter.

Maryland Congressman Elijah E. Cummings and two U.S. senators Wednesday called for the White House to clarify which financial assets Jared Kushner, son-in-law and senior adviser to President Trump, has divested to avoid potential conflicts of interest with his role in the administration.
