Less than a year stands between the two parties and future Senate control as Democrats look to build off electoral wins earlier this month and Republicans work to hold on to the chamber. The road to nabbing back the majority is steep for Democrats, who need to flip four seats. But the party is feeling upbeat, buoyed by a recruiting class that gives them opportunities across the map, key gubernatorial and statewide victories in off-year elections, and the potential of a fertile political environment. |

OPINION | There's something strangely satisfying about watching competent hands braid Challah. Three, four or six strands are gently woven into golden symmetry, then baked into something between sculpture and sustenance. But this patient process reveals a redemptive quality that no industrial bread could ever possess. It teaches us that not all beauty is visual or immediate — some is metabolized through time and yielding.

OPINION | My parents were about to celebrate their first Thanksgiving and my mom was getting ready when I decided to pop out a week early. Instead of Thanksgiving dinner, my mom had to go give birth. Of course, Thanksgiving became a favorite holiday for my mom just for that reason. Like many immigrant parents, the day is one to give thanks for the fact that they made it here and were able to thrive in this country. |

A property tied to Andriy Yermak, the chief of staff to President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine and the country's lead negotiator on President Trump's peace plan, was searched on Friday as part of a sweeping corruption investigation.
Mr. Yermak is widely seen as the second most powerful person in Ukraine. The search of the property came after weeks of calls from opposition members of Parliament for Mr. Yermak's resignation, over his close ties to figures in a corruption scandal that revolves around a kickback scheme involving the state nuclear power company. |
Guests were sent scrambling on Nov. 9 when the hotel-and-apartment rental company Sonder abruptly shut down during their stays. Their keycards suddenly stopped working, locking some customers out with their belongings still inside. And when they sought help from Sonder workers and loyalty-program representatives at Marriott, which had been offering Sonder rooms under a licensing deal, they discovered that they were sometimes breaking the news.
It was just another day for U.S. consumers. |
Black Friday bargains no longer tempt people to leave Thanksgiving tables for midnight mall runs. Brawls in store aisles over toys and TVs with limited-time discounts are spectacles of holidays past. Online shopping and retailers launching discounts weeks before the turkey feast subdued that kind of fervor.
But the sales event still has enough enthusiasts to make the day after Thanksgiving the one when U.S. stores get the most shoppers coming in the door. For that reason, Black Friday still rules as the unofficial start of the holiday shopping season. |
The best days on Palm Beach used to be when President Donald Trump was far away, at least for those who value the peace, quiet and lifestyle to which the millionaires and billionaires of this island are accustomed.
No street or bridge closures. No restrictions on boat or air travel. |
