Opinion: With His London Tweets, Trump Embarrasses Himself - And America. Once Again

Jennifer Rubin, The Washington Post | Sunday June 04, 2017

The stoic determination and decency of the British people and their leaders was on full display in the hours after the latest horrific terrorist rampage. The Brits fought back, launching drinking glasses and chairs at the savages who attacked them.

Blog: The High Price Of Trump's Visa Policies

Yasmine Bahrani, The Washington Post | Tuesday May 30, 2017

The month of May is graduation time here in Dubai, too. The seniors at the university where I teach happily toss their mortarboards into the air and pose for selfies, as seniors do annually. But this year something is different: When I ask the new grads where they will go for their summer internships or jobs or even vacations, I'm hearing much more uncertainty than in...

Opinion: The End For Indian Outsourcers - Or A Chance For Rebirth?

Vivek Wadhwa, The Washington Post | Monday May 22, 2017

The Indian information technology industry generates $150 billion in revenue but is facing an existential crisis largely of its own making because it became complacent and overconfident even as technologies and markets changed.

Opinion: My Patient Was 25 And About To Die

Jeremy Topin, The Washington Post | Wednesday May 17, 2017

What do you do when you know someone is going to die? I'm not talking about death when it comes at the end of a long protracted illness or a terminal diagnosis. Or the final act at the end of a long life, when the body and mind have ultimately given way. I'm talking about when you realize the 25-year-old woman in front of you, whom you met five minutes ago, has no ide...

Opinion: Op-ed By Preet Bharara On Trump: 'History Will Judge This Moment'

Preet Bharara, The Washington Post | Monday May 15, 2017

The most dramatic hearing I helped to arrange as chief counsel to a Senate subcommittee took place 10 years ago Monday, when James Comey, then deputy attorney general in the George W. Bush administration, described how he and FBI Director Robert Mueller intervened at the hospital bedside of Attorney General John Ashcroft.

Opinion: The 'Mother of All Bombs' Isn't That Big. Why Did It Unsettle Us So Much?

Jeffrey Lewis, The Washington Post | Tuesday April 18, 2017

On Thursday, the United States dropped a bomb in Afghanistan, near a place called Achin. The GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast blew up a cave complex used by Islamic State fighters - and, shortly thereafter, the media. The coverage of the MOAB was an incredible mix of hysteria and hardware pornography. "Fox & Friends" even soundtracked the gun-camera video of the ex...

Opinion: Inside The Jared Kushner Channel To China

Josh Rogin, The Washington Post | Monday April 03, 2017

Ahead of Thursday's summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping, the Trump administration is engaged in a relatively conventional process involving interagency teams debating the messaging, policies and priorities for the U.S.-China relationship. But separate and above that operation sits a key channel for high-level interactions between the White House and Chinese leade...

Opinion: Indian Americans Won't Be Safe As Long As The White House Is Inciting Fear

Raj Haldar, The Washington Post | Tuesday March 14, 2017

In September, a few days after the first presidential debate, I was on tour preparing to give a performance in Lawrence, Kansas - a quaint college town that seemed to wear its liberal free-spiritedness on its sleeve. As one concertgoer later pointed out to me, surrounding Douglas County is one of only two blue strongholds in an otherwise conservative state.

The Washington Post | Friday March 10, 2017

Peter W. Stevenson, The Washington Post | Monday February 27, 2017

Ivanka Trump doesn't hold an official position in her father's administration. But you wouldn't know it from the visuals coming out of the Trump White House.

Opinion: My Transgender 7-Year-Old Has A Message For Donald Trump

Jen Aulwes, The Washington Post | Sunday February 26, 2017

Last spring, when I heard Donald Trump say that Caitlyn Jenner could use whatever bathroom she wanted at Trump Tower, I breathed a sigh of relief. There weren't many things Trump and I agreed on, but this was one. Surely, I hoped, if he became president, he would extend the same courtesy to my 7-year-old daughter, Henry.

Opinion: I Didn't Think I'd Ever Leave The CIA. But Because Of Trump, I Quit.

Edward Price, The Washington Post | Tuesday February 21, 2017

Nearly 15 years ago, I informed my skeptical father that I was pursuing a job with the Central Intelligence Agency. Among his many concerns was that others would never believe I had resigned from the agency when I sought my next job. "Once CIA, always CIA," he said. But that didn't give me pause. This wouldn't be just my first real job, I thought then; it would be my ...
