Largely a political afterthought that borders on an electoral nuisance, independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. may be well positioned to capitalize on President Joe Biden’s abysmal debate performance on Thursday. Kennedy is not going to win the presidential election — in fact, he is not going to win a single electoral vote. But […]
Extreme weather events and natural disasters are colorblind. Hurricanes, tornadoes, and wildfires strike red states like Florida and blue states like California.

Maybe “Squad” Rep. Jamaal Bowman’s (D-NY) defeat in Tuesday’s primaries signals the high-water mark for the antisemitic protests that have so bedeviled America since the Oct. 7 attack on Israel.
