The Dunn House model combines housing with health care for those who need it most.

The Gripen/F-35 jet fighter issue is one in which, to coin a phrase, politics and the democratic will have to trump the generals and commodores.

In important decision for separation of powers, court rules Trump cannot fire court-appointed US Attorney, which would circumvent Senate’s role of advice and consent. If Trump wants to replace him, Trump must nominate a confirmable candidate.
