Donald Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS may be settled by his own administration — creating a $1.7 billion taxpayer-funded compensation fund for Trump and his political allies. Legal scholars say there is no precedent for a president controlling both sides of a federal lawsuit in which he

DHS has sued the Catholic Diocese of Las Cruces to seize 14 acres at the base of Mount Cristo Rey — a sacred pilgrimage site visited by 40,000 faithful annually — for border wall construction. The party that spent decades wielding religious freedom as a political weapon is now using eminent domain a
