White House preps fall immigration push
The White House is getting ready to launch a major fall blitz for immigration reform — this time, one that appears to be more about partisanship than partnership with Republicans.

US sending bankrupt Detroit $300 million. Think 'stimulus,' not 'bailout.'
The Obama administration is pledging nearly $300 million in federal dollars to Detroit to help shore up basic infrastructure priorities, such as improving public transit and police and eradicating blight. Just don’t call it a bailout – a term that's still toxic on Capitol Hill, on both sides of the aisle.
