WASHINGTON – A whistleblower's complaint and a tight timeline are making it increasingly unlikely that the Senate will confirm Chad Wolf as secretary of the Department of Homeland Security before the election.

President Donald Trump formally sent the nomination late Thursday to the Senate after announcing his intention to appoint Wolf in a tweet last month.

But Republican senators, who are fighting to keep their majority in November, appear in no rush to launch a heated confirmation that will force uncomfortable questions about whether agency actions were driven by Trump’s political agenda.The Senate’s Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, headed by Republican Sen.

ANALYSIS: President Trump promotes ‘magic thinking’ as pandemic strategy

Donald Trump always claims to have a few good tricks up his sleeve.Only this isn’t a performance, it’s a pandemic that has killed nearly 200,000 Americans.Despite having two world-leading scientific agencies at his disposal — the Centers for Disease Control and the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases — Trump has decided he’s better served by ignoring facts and science.Instead, he has regularly embraced what could best be described as “magic thinking” — promising, or perhaps even believing the impossible, instead of dealing with reality.First came Trump’s public claims about the virus itself, which were never rooted in anything but his own wild guesses: “One day it will just disappear,” said Trump, promising the virus

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump was quick to spike the ball in celebration when the Big Ten announced the return of fall football at colleges clustered in some of the Midwest battleground states critical to his reelection effort, declaring, “I'm the one who got football back.”But his efforts to reverse last month's decision to postpone fall sports in the conference because of the novel coronavirus were far from the only factor that led officials to change course.The Big Ten — one of the power conferences that drives the big business of college sports — was under enormous pressure to restart the season from athletes, parents, coaches and college towns that rely on football Saturdays to fill restaurants and hotels and provide much-needed
