    ISIS has been driven from Raqqa, but Defense Secretary James Mattis says U.S. forces will stay in Syria to prevent the formation of "ISIS 2.0."

  • The fate of Republican tax-reform schemes now rests with the Senate.

"Across the states, just two in ten top earners were women."
  • Chicago is considering plans to criminalize loitering in any zone declared to be "frequently associated with prostitution."
  • Wisconsin high-schooler and dance-team member Kaiden Johnson has filed a Title IX complaint with the U.S. Department of Education over his being forbidden from participating in a dance-team competition with female teammates.
  • Jerusalem has built a half-mile long tunnel under the city to house 22,000 graves.
  • President Trump is facing criticism for quickly commenting on allegations about Minnesota Democratic Sen. Al Franken ("really bad") while staying silent on Judge Roy Moore.
