Trump, Sanders win New Hampshire primary
MANCHESTER, N.H. — Sen. Bernie Sanders and billionaire Donald Trump have won the Democratic and Republican presidential primaries in New Hampshire, in victories so decisive that the drama of primary night shifted to the Republicans battling for second, third and fourth place. Projected to finish in second was Ohio Gov. John Kasich, a relatively moderate candidate who might face a difficult time unifying the party behind him in the next few primary states.

CONCORD, N.H. — Donald Trump resoundingly won the New Hampshire Republican presidential primary Tuesday night, giving the billionaire mogul his first victory in an improbable and brash campaign that already has turned American politics upside down. Ohio Gov. John Kasich, on the strength of his optimistic focus on economic renewal and lifting people out of the shadows, finished a distant second, while former Florida governor Jeb Bush and Sens. Ted Cruz (Tex.) and Marco Rubio (Fla.) headed towar..>> view originalThe controversy at Mount St. Mary's goes national after professors ...
Mount St. Mary’s University in Maryland (Photo courtesy of Mount St. Mary’s) Professors from universities across the country — from Stanford to North Carolina Central to the University of Nebraska to Harvard — signed a petition Tuesday calling on the Mount St. Mary’s University administration to reinstate professors who had been fired. Within hours of being posted, the petition had more than 2,400 digital signatures, a symbol of the outrage from some in the campus community as well as in br..>> view originalSupreme Court freezes Obama plan to limit carbon emissions
The Supreme Court on Tuesday blocked a key part of President Obama’s ambitious proposal to limit carbon emissions and reduce global warming while the plan is challenged. The court granted a stay request from more than two dozen states, plus utilities and coal companies, that said the Environmental Protection Agency was overstepping its powers. The court’s decision does not address the merits of the challenge but indicates justices think the states have raised serious questions.

A prominent young Ohio activist killed himself on the steps of the statehouse Monday. MarShawn M. McCarrel II, a leading member of the state’s Black Lives Matter movement, shot himself outside the capitol’s entrance at around 6 p.m. The 23-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene, State Highway Patrol spokesman Lt. Craig Cvetan told the Columbus Dispatch. “We don’t have any evidence to know the reason why he did it,” Cvetan said.

NEW YORK — The Washington Wizards arrived at the 50th game of their season Tuesday night with five more losses than wins. That unsatisfactory reality for an expected playoff participant, fueled by injuries and maddening bouts of inconsistency, was a significant reason for their matchup opposite the New York Knicks on Tuesday night being removed from the national television lineup. The Wizards were not, however, the team sputtering the most between the two at Madison Square Garden. The Knicks e..>> view originalMarcus Johansson returns to the lineup against Predators
(AP Photo/Alex Brandon) NASHVILLE – Center Marcus Johansson will make his return to the Washington Capitals lineup on Tuesday night against the Predators. Johansson had missed four games with an upper-body injury. “Just get out there and move your feet, I think,” Johansson said. “The schedule is so tight, I don’t think it’s going to take long until you’re back and feeling like you’ve never been out. Just go out there and move your feet and try to keep it easy on yourself.” The Capitals have..>> view originalTrump disqualifies himself for the GOP nomination (again)
(Jabin Botsford/The Washington Post) The voting is underway in New Hampshire, and the polls show Donald Trump with a comfortable lead. If Trump does manage to win, he will have done so in spite of taking a heretical (for conservatives) position: He refused to state outright that he would do away with the Medicaid expansion, which is a big issue in the state.
