Alexander Torshin, Russian who courted NRA leaders, sanctioned by US Treasury

Alexander Torshin, the Russian politician who sat at a dinner table with Donald Trump Jr. at the 2016 National Rifle Association convention, has been added to the list of Russian nationals sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury Department. The deputy governor of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation was for years a paying member of the NRA and repeat guest at the annual National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, but more recently has been the subject of scrutiny as lawmakers and Special Counsel Robert Mueller investigate possible attempts by Russia to influence the 2016 presidential campaign.

Migrants at U.S.-Mexico border say Trump’s tough talk will not deter them

On Tuesday, the same day that U.S. President Donald Trump announced his intention to deploy military to help patrol the U.S.-Mexico border, Edwin Valdez and four other Central American migrants were walking through dense brush at a south Texas wildlife reserve, hoping to escape notice.

DC officials cite gun control hypocrisy in condemning Rubio

It was one week after the fatal shootings at a Parkland, Florida, high school, and Republican Sen.

In spring 2017, U.S. District Court Judge Michael Simon ruled that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers must spill the water, and today, a three-judge Ninth Circuit Appeals Court rejected an appeal of the original ruling.

Parkland, hurricanes and Trump shaping Florida Senate race between Rick Scott and Bill Nelson

GOP Gov. Rick Scott has yet to officially announce he'll run to unseat Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., but three extraordinary events during the past 18 months are already shaping the contours of a race that could determine control of the U.S. Senate next year. The Parkland School shooting in February, back-to-back hurricanes Irma and Maria last year, and the election of Donald Trump as president in 2016 might be in the rear view mirror but their political reverberations are likely to be felt when Florida voters go to the polls or mail in their ballots this fall.
