A video showing an encounter between a teenager in a MAGA hat and an elderly Native American didn't tell the whole story. The reactions that erupted when the video went viral turned out to be a cautionary tale about jumping to conclusions.

The Chicago plan to end the shutdown: Make Nancy Pelosi and Donald Trump shovel snow together

Two people may be nothing alike. They may look different, vote different. They may think they hate each other. But when if they were to meet outside in the snow with shovels, it doesn't matter, writes columnist Mary Schmich.

800,000 Dreamers. 800,000 workers. 1 wall. Cut the deal.

The longer this absurd standoff lasts, and the more discomfort and inconvenience it inflicts, the more petty President Donald Trump, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the others appear. They aren't fighting over a principle; they are hoping to force the other side to flinch.
