Coroner Greg Furlong wrote on Facebook that the woman, a Jefferson County resident, died on Saturday. He added that his office was working with the Pennsylvania Department of Health on this...
A new poll shows that Democratic voters are more driven to cast their ballots in the November midterms elections out of their opposition to President Trump more so than the party's platform. The CBS News/YouGov poll released Sunday found that 54 percent of Democratic voters said they will vote for their Democratic candidate to Congress...
Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed on Sunday pushed back on questions about far-left streamer Hasan Piker, who he previously campaigned with. “There are Jewish voters in your state who are concerned about your relationship with Piker. You have condemned antisemitism but not called out his rhetoric directly. Why not?” CBS News’s Weijia Jiang asked...
The Phoenix, Ariz., Police Department on Sunday said a statue of conservative activist Charlie Kirk outside the headquarters of his organization, Turning Point USA (TPUSA), was vandalized days after the one-year anniversary of his death. Police told The Hill's sister network NewsNation that they received calls about vandalism to a memorial in the area of...
It may not surprise you to learn that I was a pretty good student. Not perfect, of course — I put everything off to the last minute and did a fair amount of late-night cramming when I was in high school and college — but when the grades went out, I was almost always near […]
Like most Marvel offerings, Thunderbolts* requires so much background knowledge that fine print seems appropriate, which may explain the asterisk at the end of the official name of the film. That typographical addendum, much discussed by Marvel fanboys during the promotional lead-up, turns out not to mean anything at all, unless one counts an in-joke […]
There’s a certain admirable honesty in those rebellious souls who turn away from religion entirely: the preacher’s daughter who gets a lip piercing and declares herself polyamorous, and libertarian firebrands such as the late Christopher Hitchens, who relished verbal battles with befuddled clergy. Stranger, however, are those cases who choose to remain in their chosen […]
Despite the label they give themselves, there is nothing “moderate” about the fiscal irresponsibility of blue-state Republicans as House Republicans try to complete their work on President Donald Trump’s “one big, beautiful bill.” These Republicans from states such as California, New Jersey, and New York are pushing for massive subsidies for the wealthiest taxpayers while […]
If you know who Lenny Bruce is, you’re old. You’re either a boomer or a member of the cohort that is now blamed for blowing it in the ’60s, despite the warning from Peter Fonda’s character in Easy Rider. Or you’re one of their children, a Gen Xer who resents the parental grip on family assets and […]
President Donald Trump’s obsession with tariffs is driven in part by a desire to restore industries to the American communities they have increasingly abandoned. Maybe we would all be better off, though, if Hollywood weren’t a beneficiary of these tariff bailouts. Trump announced a 100% tariff on foreign films in a Truth Social post this […]
An optimist will look at the discovery-law “deal” that Gov. Hochul struck with the New York Legislature during budget negotiations and point to some “wins.”
It was long assumed that an American pope was an impossibility. Vatican insiders would dismiss the idea of a pope from the world’s preeminent superpower as completely out of the question and barely even worth a thought. That was until around 7 p.m. Rome time on May 8, 2025, when Cardinal Dominique Mamberti emerged on […]
First the good news. A trade agreement between the largest and the sixth-largest economies on the planet is (in every sense) a big deal. Former President Barack Obama threatened to put Britain at the “back of the queue” if it voted for Brexit. In the event, Britain has ended up at the front. Now the […]
If you are ever graced with the opportunity to be in St. Peter’s Square when the white smoke billows out of the Sistine Chapel chimney, the moment your eyes lock onto the plume will be etched in memory throughout earthly life. I stood under the piazza’s colonnade, sweaty and lugging my cumbersome duffle bag. It […]
Here’s how Columbia University's leadership can atone for its sins last spring: Throw the book at pro-Hamas thugs who stormed and illegally occupied the...
