Republicans were clutching their pearls on Monday night after President Trump’s youngest daughter, Tiffany, showed up to the State of the Union address in a fitted white dress — with many considering it a show of solidarity with female Democrats and women from the suffrage movement. The move was mostly done by female lawmakers on the left, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, but women from both sides of the aisle had been asked to participate. Tiffany was the only female member of the Trump family who wear white. “Welcome to the resistance,” joked one Twitter user...

A photo of the author On the day of college graduation, I told my friends and family the news: I was leaving the country I had lived in since childhood. “I just need a change,” I told them, but they knew there was more. Was it some romance gone awry, they wondered? Some impulsive response to a broken heart? And I was running from heartbreak. My relationship with the United States of America is the most tumultuous relationship I have ever had, and it ended with the heart-rending realization that a country I loved and believed in did not love...

Speaking of French president Nicolas Sarkozy’s wife, who was famously photographed from behind on the steps of a Spanish palace in April, Mrs Blair said: ‘I am very happy to not have been in Downing Street when Carla Bruni came on an official visit.

TIME: Michelle is being compared to Jackie Kennedy. Is that an apt comparison? Swimmer: No. I understand it because it's being called Obamalot, instead of Camelot. I think it's off the mark. I think the Kennedys really represented this fantasy-like, ethereal presentation. I think times are very different right now. I think the Obamas have a heavy dose of reality. I think Michelle Obama is very much a modern First Lady. Jackie played her role of First Lady fabulously, and certainly she did many, many good works, but Michelle is highly educated, very successful, was a corporate executive for years,...

"This is my team that came with me from Chicago," Michelle said, pointing to her communications staff and policy people. "This is my team who works here already," she went on, indicating the ring of veterans around the room. Many of the household staff had served for decades; some had postponed retirement because they wanted to serve an African-American President. snipThree generations, two adorable girls and a dog — no First Family has lived with the weight of hope and hype that has landed on the Obamas. Clothes they wear fly off the shelves. Dog breeders from Germany to Australia...

Okay, I expect I might be zotted, which is fine, maybe I should be. And maybe I just need to get my glasses readjusted. But I've noticed it on more than one occasion recently, so I thought I'd ask. Are Bush's suits fitting properly? This evening I happened to catch a glimps of him giving his speech about Iraq, and it looked strange to me. It looked like his suit was too big for him. I tried to go back to www.whitehouse.gov to see some pics, but the pics all look fine. And I wouldn't have paid any attention to...
