America’s leading universities have an antisemitism problem – and it starts at the top. This past week, university presidents and deans across the country wrote to their students and faculties to express concern in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on Israel by Hamas.

Obrador took aim at those who he said were exaggerating the destruction caused by the hurricane and suggested they were providing misleading information. The storm last week...
A former industry executive criticized the tentative deal struck between the United Auto Workers (UAW) and Ford earlier this week, accusing the labor union of having no regard for automakers. "First of all, this is not like other labor negotiations," Bob Lutz, who has worked for all three of the "Big Three" automakers facing strikes,...
While parts of the Northwest have already weathered their first winter storm this past week, that multi-foot blast of snow was not necessarily a sign of what’s to come this season.
