Tough decisions are piling up at the Justice Department (DOJ), which is now weighing three criminal referrals from Congress directed at former Trump White House officials. The referrals pose thorny legal issues for a department that has historically defended senior administration officials' testimonial immunity in the face of congressional subpoenas. This week, the House voted to hold Peter Navarro and Dan Scavino in contempt for defying the Jan. 6 committee's subpoenas as the panel grows increasingly frustrated over the nearly four months that have passed since it approved a referral for former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. |

OPINION | Amid some hopeful signs in Russian-Ukrainian ceasefire talks, it may be useful to keep in mind that the West could gain substantial economic leverage to influence outcomes during and after Russia's war against Ukraine. How it uses this leverage could have far-reaching consequences. |
OPINION | The health care "system" — not much of a system at all but rather a vast, fragmented for-profit enterprise — is failing our nation's clinicians and is no longer defensible. So, when we call what's happening "burnout," the solutions put forth will tend to focus only on repairing the individual and not the system, a strategy that I believe is doomed to fail. |

For Brenda Lee Pryce, a retired South Carolina state legislator, Ketanji Brown Jackson's confirmation to the Supreme Court was "a moment where every little Black and brown girl can stick her chest out." For Nina Turner, who chaired Sen. Bernie Sanders's presidential campaign, it was a "magnificent moment." For the Rev. William Barber, an anti-poverty advocate, it was "an idea whose time had come." |
