French conservative FranA ois Fillon, right, arrives for a news conference at his campaign headquarters in Paris on Feb. 6. Fillon is trying to save his presidential bid as prosecutors investigate the political jobs he gave to his wife, son and daughter. As seen through a Russian television set, the upcoming French elections are the dirtiest in history, a shameful public display of the cronyism and liberal decay that the Kremlin says are tearing Europe apart.
There are 538 congressional districts nationally, but only a few of them are mixed - with a House member of one party representing voters who picked a different party for president. And one strain of mixed congressional district - with GOP representatives of voters who wanted Hillary Clinton, not Donald Trump, in the White House - is particularly rare, with just 22 examples.
The tweets, posted on February 4, contain brief questions asking "what, where and when is #Vault7?" alongside seemingly unrelated images. Pictures of the "Doomsday seed vault" in Norway, a German salt mine containing Nazi loot and a US Air Force jet engine are included in the tweets.
In the wake of President Donald Trump's Electoral College win in and Hillary Clinton's popular vote victory, America has displayed increasing polarity in political beliefs.

As regularly as the seasons of the harvest, the state Senate blocks New York's 100,000 field hands - the people whose backbreaking toil feed us - from having the same labor rights as everyone else. She is a freshman, in office barely a month.
What kind of national security policy will the Trump administration pursue globally? On this issue, as on so many others, the incoming president has offered enough contradictory clues, tweets, and comments that the only definitive answer right now is: Who knows? During his presidential campaign he more or less promised a non-interventionist foreign policy, even as he offered hints that his might be anything but. There was, of course, ISIS to destroy and he swore he would " bomb the shit out of them."
If he didn't understand it previously, Trump certainly has learned his most dangerous political foes are not Democrats in Congress, but the vast federal bureaucracy. Among the new president's first actions was to order a freeze on hiring in the government, with the exception of the military.
While President Trump is still defending Vladimir Putin in public, American policymakers have finally awoken to Russian intervention in the U.S. democratic process-and are pumping tens of millions into a counter-propaganda initiative. The 2016 presidential campaign alerted the public to the concept of information as a weapon-and to its incredible effectiveness when used just right.
Passionate protests against Donald Trump's presidency have swelled the ranks of Democratic activists, but their new enthusiasm faces a hard reality: Republicans remain well-positioned to retain their grip on power in the 2018 elections.

The Super Bowl is back at the scene of its most controversial-ever half-time show - Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction" more than a decade ago. Lady Gaga is headlining the half-time show at today's 51st Super Bowl between the Patriots and Falcons, being held in Houston.
Some Facebook users are announcing that they are leaving the social media site because they have grown weary of the political vitriol that dominates the discourse there.

A nationwide Gallup poll found that 36 percent of respondents across 50 states think media outlets have been too hard on Trump, while 28 percent say they haven't been hard enough. Significantly more people believe Trump is being treated badly by the media than thought the same was true for former President Barrack Obama.
Bernie Sanders grudgingly praised President Trump as a telegenic "showman" on Sunday - but slammed him as a con artist who is selling out working class voters who helped him win election. "I don't mean to be disrespectful this guy is a fraud," Sanders told host Jake Tapper on CNN's "State of the Union."
President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump attended the 60th Annual Red Cross Gala at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Fla., on Saturday night. WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump said he respects Vladimir Putin, and when an interviewer called the Russian leader ''a killer,'' Trump said the United States has many of them.
Fiery Green nominee makes a coherent case about the many failures of American democracy. But she's not the answer Jill Stein really, really wants you to know that she's not responsible for President Donald Trump.
