Kerry and Madeleine Albright, along with Leon Panetta and other former top national security officials, entered the fray over President Trump’s travel ban early Monday with an unusual declaration stating that it “undermines” national security and will “endanger U.S. troops in the field.” The six-page joint declaration was addressed to the U.S. Court of App..>> view originalApple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft and 93 other tech companies ...
Apple, Google, Twitter and Microsoft are among nearly 100 tech companies who filed a legal brief opposing President Trump's immigration ban. The brief says Trump's executive order represents a sudden shift in the rules governing entry into the U.S. and inflicts harm on American companies. (Reuters) This story has been updated.

Fresh challenges to President Trump’s court-frozen immigration order took shape Monday with two former secretaries of state claiming the White House was undermining national security and nearly 100 Silicon Valley tech companies arguing it will keep the best minds from coming to America. The powerful new voices were added with another legal showdown coming as early as Monday. The suspension of the order, meanwhile, has allowed those previously banned more time to try to reach the United States. ..>> view originalThe five best Super Bowl commercials
Super Bowl LI may have been full of surprises, but the commercials? Not so much. It was a lackluster year with many forgettable ads. (It didn’t help that several of the Super Bowl’s most reliably funny advertisers, including Doritos and Butterfingers, dropped out.) Other advertisers — with the exception of a few that were motivated to tackle the recent immigration order head-on — seemed disinclined to take risks. It’s been a fraught couple of months, so perhaps that’s why this year’s commercial..>> view originalA Recent History of People Walking Thousands of Miles to Washington
Opal Lee may not have known it when she crossed the DC line at the end of a 133-day hike in honor of Texas’s slaves, but she was taking part in a long tradition: marching to Washington in service of a cause. Over the years, marchers have included high-profile groups—15,000 veterans in the Bonus Army March of the 1930s, the American Indian Movement’s Longest Walk from Alcatraz in 1978. Variations evolved, such as tractorcades that saw thousands drive John Deeres onto the Mall in the late ’70s. H..>> view originalTrump's continued defense of Putin confounds Republicans
(Bastien Inzaurralde/The Washington Post) President Trump offered a fulsome defense of Russian President Vladimir Putin over the weekend, leaving Republican lawmakers frustrated and flummoxed yet again by the president’s warm feelings toward the rival nation. In a Fox News interview, Trump, who during the campaign repeatedly praised Putin, again said that he respected the Russian leader and hoped to get along with Moscow, and he seemed to equate the United States with its adversary when..>> view originalThe Trump administration has sprung a leak.

Every presidential administration leaks. So far, the Trump White House has gushed.
