For all the work that’s gone into addressing the charges against President Donald Trump, it’s hard to argue they rise to the level of impeachable offenses. The charge of obstruction of Congress could just as easily be presented as a justifiable defense of executive power for which ample precedent exists.

While U.S. policy toward Ukraine is legitimately a subject for congressional oversight it is hardly the stuff of which previous presidents were threatened with removal from office....

Pelosi made a deal with a group of moderate Democrats that the bill—which includes funding for roads, bridges, high-speed internet, rail and transit, drinking water upgrades and other priorities meant to shore up the nation’s infrastructure—would be voted on Monday.

However, progressive lawmakers have said they would not vote for the bill unless the House and Senate approve a $3....

Despite leaving a post with the Serie A club at the end of the 2017-18 season and seeing Carlo Ancelotti appointed as his successor, Sarri remains tied to a contract in Naples.

A collaboration between NASA, the European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency, the long-delayed, $10 billion dollar telescope promises to revolutionize our understanding of the universe by enabling scientists to gaze further into space than ever before and unlock the secrets of the very first stars and galaxies.

When the rover landed on Mars and beamed its first photo back from the surface, the account tweeted: “Hello, world....

The astronauts, Nick Hague and Andrew Morgan, are both flight engineers for the Expedition 60 mission aboard the International Space Station (ISS)—which is jointly operated by NASA and the Russian, European, Japanese and Canadian space agencies.

As its name suggests, the Parker Solar Probe, which was launched in August 2018, is not primarily built to study Venus. The instruments on board are designed to observe the sun as the probe circles close to Earth’s nearest star, peering into its fiery depths. NASA said in 2021 that the probe got close enough to touch the star’s atmosphere. In the past couple of years, the probe has also proven useful for observing Venus with its on-board Wide-Field Imager for Parker Solar Probe (WISPR) camera....

As a result, drivers and crew chiefs have no certain idea what racing with the radically different package will look like when the elite of the Cup series compete for the $1 million top prize on the 1.5-mile intermediate speedway.

Alex Bowman eked out a spot in the second round by virtue of his second-place finish at Charlotte Motor Speedway, but his work isn’t done yet.

However, if Kyle Busch has proved anything in his illustrious NASCAR career it’s he can win anywhere, and he will for his second straight win after taking home the checkered flag at the Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday. Busch also claimed victory at Pocono in July, so he not only carries momentum from this season into the race, but he has historical success at the track. At the same time, Kevin Harvick will look to get back on the winning track after coming in last in Charlotte....

One of the best handicapping strategies for Richmond races is to see what happened in the most recent races at Phoenix or New Hampshire. Although Richmond’s three-quarter-mile layout is considered a short track, it is most comparable to the two one-mile flat tracks.
