Politics
Trump's Huge Latino Gains Put a Big Crack in Democratic Coalition . . . Donald Trump's election victory scrambles one of the core assumptions of American politics in recent decades: That the Republican party is doomed to rely on an ever-shrinking core of white voters.

Students at Georgetown's McCourt School of Public Policy were reportedly offered treats like "milk and cookies" and "hot cocoa" as well as "Lego" toys and "Coloring and Mindfulness Exercises" to get their minds off the election results.

Trump to Renew 'Maximum Pressure' Campaign Against Iran . . .
