Late last month, Russian President Vladimir Putin met the leaders of Iran, Turkey and Syria, allegedly to discuss a final peace settlement in the Syrian civil war. On Monday he was in Syria to announce a partial withdrawal of Russian troops from the country because they had inflicted a "total rout" on the jihadist militants of Islamic State.
On Dec. 6, Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, forced a House vote on articles of impeachment against Donald Trump. Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said in advance of the vote, "Now is not the time," citing ongoing investigations.
I admit to being partisan. However, rather than being a supporter of any party, I am a partisan of social justice, of the idea that all people should be valued equally, that privilege through birth, wealth, or connections, must not play a part in any democratic exercise.

Alabama senator-elect Doug Jones says his victory over GOP Roy Moore in Tuesday's special election marks a moment for national unity. Jones said he is "overwhelmed" by his win over Moore, who did not concede and talked about a recount.
Now that the special election is over, the mainstream press can stop reporting on Alabama as if it were Mars. Have some sympathy with the voters in this state, please.
Few things have changed so profoundly in America in the past year as the social and political rules for how allegations of sexual misconduct against powerful men should be handled, and what the consequences should be for those men who have been sexual aggressors. The names alone make the point.
Republicans on Capitol Hill have a new sense of urgency to pass their tax plan now that the slim GOP Senate majority will get even slimmer with Democrat Doug Jones' election in Alabama. They appear to have negotiated all the main points of contention, and a deal is imminent.
We saw it in action last year when the governor vetoed the statutorily prescribed PFD payout; the Legislature failed to take action to override the governor, and the court upheld the governor's controversial action that many believed to be illegal.

It is slowly dawning on Republicans and the right-wing media echo chamber that President Donald Trump's assault on democratic norms and the rule of law, his betrayal of his own populist campaign themes , his misogynist and xenophobic rhetoric, his mean-spirited vendetta against hardworking immigrants and his dangerous, erratic behavior on the world stage have ignited a backlash that could deliver in 2018 House and Senate majorities to Democrats, who barely had a political pulse a year ago. Trump's inability to distinguish his grandiose fantasies from reality will also give the midterms an urgency rarely seen in a non-presidential election.
The Minnesota Democrat's remarks on Thursday marked the culmination of exactly three weeks during which eight women -- half of them anonymous -- alleged sexual misconduct by the former "Saturday Night Live" star.
If you take out a loan to buy a car that turns out to be a lemon, do you stop making payments to the bank? Some do, deciding their vehicles were such bad deals that letting the lender repossess them may be the best way out of a bad situation. About 95,000 people who took out student loans to attend for-profit institutions of higher learning are asking that the federal government forgive their debts because the schools defrauded them.
