A bill making its way through the US Congress seeks to tighten scrutiny of Hong Kong’s autonomy. But it will do little to resolve the situation.
The impeachment investigation of US president Donald Trump has formally started, but much has changed since 1974, when Richard Nixon was forced out of office.
Investigations often damage the president’s approval rating, particularly if the inquiry drags on for a long time. But that may not matter to a historically unpopular president like Trump.
A quirk of mathematics gives voters in some small states, like Rhode Island and Nebraska, an extra edge over voters in other states. This happens not only in the US, but in other countries, too.
A former congressional staffer says withholding damning evidence from Congress and using civilians to carry out presidential or intelligence agency agendas links the Ukraine crisis to other scandals.

Conflict made its way to the Supreme Court this past session with two cases – one about the census, the other about gerrymandering. A court scholar says the two cases are intimately connected.
The 1929 immigration measure has become a focal point due to Trump’s crackdown on undocumented people, including families.
