  4. The flimsy case against Thomas Perez

    Just as they did when Thomas E. Perez was nominated to head the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, Republicans are seeking to hold up his confirmation to head the U.S. Department of Labor, using any excuse they can think up, no matter how flimsy.

  7. Can anybody save the Republican Party?

    The year 2012 was a disaster for the Republican Party. They failed to regain control of the U.S. Senate. They lost eight seats in the House of Representatives.

They've lost the popular vote in five of the last six elections.

  11. A solvable problem

    WASHINGTON -- It was always clear that the 11 million people in this country without papers were not going to be rounded up and deported.
