OPINION | For the first time since 1987, San Francisco's congressional seat is up for grabs. With Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) stepping aside, the race ahead of the June 2 Democratic primary poses a familiar question: Should this be a routine succession or an insurgent upset?
|
OPINION | George Washington's tenacity in winning our war of independence (with French help), after losing many battles, forms the dramatic arc of Ken Burn's gripping documentary, "The American Revolution."
Looking ahead to this year's midterm elections, Democrats should take the long view like Washington. As important as it is to win the House and possibly the Senate in November, it's even more crucial for Democrats to take back the White House in 2028. |

Secretary of State Marco Rubio made an unapologetic defense for American might and pursuit of national interests Saturday while seeking to recast President Trump's sharp disputes with Europe as a form of tough love with the U.S.'s closest allies.

Working in strict secrecy, a government scientist in Norway built a machine capable of emitting powerful pulses of microwave energy and, in an effort to prove such devices are harmless to humans, in 2024 tested it on himself. He suffered neurological symptoms similar to those of "Havana syndrome," the unexplained malady that has struck hundreds of U.S. spies and diplomats around the world.
The bizarre story, described by four people familiar with the events, is the latest wrinkle in the decade-long quest to find the causes of Havana syndrome, whose sufferers experience long-lasting effects including cognitive challenges, dizziness and nausea. The U.S. government calls the events Anomalous Health Incidents (AHIs). |
