The Wizards’ secret weapon this season? Continuity. (Katherine Frey/The Washington Post) The morning the sun rose over a still-unbroken Washington sports curse, John Wall stretched out on a courtside seat inside Madison Square Garden, pondering another Washington Nationals’ season-ending loss. His Washington Wizards teammates were buzzing through the end of their morning shoot-around, the charter bus purring outside ready to take on Manhattan. But Wall, devoted to his adopted hometown more t..>> view originalAnother last-ditch effort to tackle Obamacare stalls within hours of its ...
Yet another last-ditch effort to tackle the nation’s health-care system stalled within hours of its release by a bipartisan pair of senators Tuesday, with President Trump sending mixed signals and Republicans either declining to endorse the proposal or outright opposing it. The week began on Capitol Hill with a renewed sense of urgency to craft legislation following Trump’s decision last week to end key payments to health insurers that help millions of lower-income Americans afford coverage but..>> view originalMcCain endorses budget bill in win for GOP tax-reform effort
The White House’s push for tax cuts made crucial progress on Tuesday as Senate Republicans rallied behind a budget proposal the party needs to pass to keep alive its hopes of enacting sharp reductions in tax rates later this year.

NEW YORK — Alyssa Milano was in bed with her two young children when a friend of a friend on Facebook suggested something that struck her as a great way to elevate the Harvey Weinstein conversation. She took the idea to Twitter, posting: “If you’ve been sexually harassed or assaulted write ‘me too’ as a reply to this tweet.” That was Sunday night. By Monday night, more than 53,000 people had left comments and thousands of women had declared “Me Too,” sharing their stories of rape, sexual assaul..>> view originalKelly tried to keep his son's death out of politics.

For the past seven years, Gen. John F. Kelly has gone out of his way to keep the death of his son free from politics. He did not talk about him when — just four days after his death in southern Afghanistan — Kelly found himself commemorating two other Marines killed in combat, in a moving speech in St. Louis. In fact, according to a Washington Post report, he specifically asked the officer introducing him not to mention his boy, 1st Lt. Robert M. Kelly, who was killed instantly when he stepped ..>> view originalPresident Trump cooks up a soufflĂ© of dysfunction
I had dinner over the weekend at the “soft opening” of a buzzy new restaurant, where a pedigreed chef offers an ambitious menu at a price of nearly $40 per entree. It was more soft than opening. The bartender, asked for a cocktail, spilled rail liquors into a glass with abandon. The duck arrived so bloody it appeared to have gone from pond to plate without pausing before a heat source. The quail was foul, and the waiter — there was only one, and he spent most of his time attending to a solo di..>> view originalFederal judge blocks Trump's third travel ban
A federal judge on Tuesday largely blocked the Trump administration from implementing the latest version of the president’s controversial travel ban, setting up yet another legal showdown on the extent of the executive branch’s powers when it comes to setting immigration policy. The decision from U.S. District Judge Derrick K. Watson in Hawaii is sure to be appealed, but for now, it means that the administration cannot restrict the entry of travelers from six of the eight countries that officia..>> view originalThe irony of Trump's embrace of white evangelical voters
