The process of awarding a Senate seat after a vacancy has become fraught with political peril.

Six weeks before President Bush leaves office, his administration is giving up on an eight-year effort to ease restrictions on coal-burning power plants.

In a sweeping critique, the federal government has been accused of not doing enough to identify potential health and environmental risks from engineered nanomaterials.

Dueling messages whipsawed a board, which will be asked to vote Thursday on whether to allow several popular drugs to continue to be marketed for asthmatics.

A case brought by a Muslim man accusing the former attorney general and director of the F.B.I. of complicity in post-9/11 abuses reached the Supreme Court on Wednesday.

Obama’s supporters appear to be using a tool which allows them to remove all questions about Blagojevich.

There isn’t much I like about Ann Coulter, but I have to admire her gall.

I read Coulter’s weekly column without fail, linking to it from Drudge just to see what outrageous, ridiculous point she’s trying to make this time.

This week the androgynous one is fulminating about the recount in the extremely close race in Minnesota, which has yet to yield a winner between Republican incumbent Norm Coleman and Democratic challenger Al Franken.

The House passed the measure, but it faces stiff resistance from Senate Republicans.

Aides to GOP senators say they may want to question him.
