The most hotly contested statewide primary in Texas on Tuesday centers on the future of state Attorney General Ken Paxton, the Republican who spearheaded a notorious failed legal challenge to the 2020 election results and, with a slew of corruption allegations hanging over his campaign, is now facing the prospect of being pushed into a runoff for the GOP nomination.

President Joe Biden and US officials got the intelligence right: They said Russia would invade Ukraine, despite Russia's assurances to the contrary. After a supreme miscalculation on how the pullout from Afghanistan would go, misguided intelligence on the run-up to the war in Iraq and many other mistakes, this is an important moment for the US intelligence community.

The way the conflict in Ukraine has unfolded across social media has made it hard for many people to figure out what's real and what's not. Cell phone videos from locals have circulated on Twitter, Facebook and TikTok, but some of the videos alleging to depict the situation on the ground in Ukraine have turned out to be fake.

Voting ends in the first primaries for the 2022 midterm elections in a matter of days.

The Supreme Court is transforming the law in America, rolling back a half century of constitutional rights, from abortion to voter protections. It would seem the six-justice conservative engine could not be daunted by a single change in the three-justice liberal wing.

Ukrainian staff of the US Embassy in Kyiv are asking the State Department for urgent help as their country comes under attack by Russia.

Spending by candidates at Trump properties underscores his enduring popularity in GOP politics and one way the former President continues to personally benefit from his time in office.

Joe Biden has been president for a little over a year. And that year was not kind to him.

Despite its Trump-loving crowd, the annual Conservative Political Action Conference became a venue this week for top Republicans to set themselves apart from each other and, in some cases, from the former President as they sharply condemned Russian President Vladimir Putin and his full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

The US will impose sanctions on Russian President Vladimir Putin, the White House announced Friday.

By invading Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin violated his neighbor's sovereignty and threw the notion of international law out the window. Afraid of one organization, NATO, Putin ignored the principles of another organization, the United Nations, as well as an agreement known as the Budapest Memorandum.

The chairman of the Republican Party in Georgia on Friday told the House select committee investigating the January 6 riot that the Trump campaign had directed the party in 2020 to put forward an alternate slate of electors after then-President Donald Trump lost the state's vote, according to a person familiar with the testimony.

Joe Biden has nominated Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court to replace retiring Justice Stephen Breyer, fulfilling the President's promise to pick a Black woman. Now, the nomination process enters a new phase.

Senate Republicans have launched their attacks on Ketanji Brown Jackson, Joe Biden's Supreme Court nominee. While Democrats praised the qualifications of Biden's choice, potentially the first Black woman to serve on the court, Republicans criticized her educational background and questioned her record.

For the first time, the NATO Response Force has been activated as a defensive measure in response to Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine.

US intelligence officials are concerned that Kyiv could fall under Russian control within days, according to two sources familiar with the latest intelligence.

President Biden has selected Ketanji Brown Jackson as his nominee to the Supreme Court, setting in motion a historic confirmation process for the first Black woman to sit on the highest court in the nation. Follow here for the latest news, analysis and reactions.

As President Joe Biden rifled through binders filled with pages of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's qualifications as a part of his decision-making process, he also focused on something as valuable as her sparkling resume: her life story.

President Joe Biden's decision to nominate Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court, as CNN first reported, kills two birds with one stone: It satisfies -- and Biden hopes energizes -- liberals while also giving Senate Democrats a nominee they can confirm without much fanfare (and maybe even with a few Republican votes).
