OPINION | Last month, the U.S. government indicted the Southern Poverty Law Center — a venerable civil rights organization known for relentlessly fighting against White supremacist groups — on multiple federal charges. The center was almost certainly targeted because it called out hate speech by right-wing groups, not due to any legitimate law enforcement priority.

OPINION | After years of efforts by radical greens to strangle America’s oil, gas, and coal industries — while forcing the nation to accept costly, land-devouring wind and solar — the U.S. is once again emerging as a global energy superpower.
And this time, it’s not just fossil fuels: In fact, nuclear power is taking center stage.

The grim-faced captain had bad news for the people gathered in the lounge of the MV Hondius. One of their fellow passengers had died.
“Tragic as it is, it was due to natural causes, we believe,” the captain, Jan Dobrogowski, told them on April 12. He added that the ship’s doctor had said the man was “not infectious, so the ship is safe.”

U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers opened the last day of testimony in the titanic trial between Elon Musk and Sam Altman’s OpenAI with a simple question: Should a trophy of a golden donkey’s backside be entered into evidence?
The judge held the statue in her hands with a bemused look. Dario Amodei, then a team lead for AI safety, had helped award it to a company intern years earlier, after Musk called the person a “jacka--” for challenging him over AI safety at a company meeting.

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) is fighting for his political life in Louisiana’s Republican primary on Saturday as he faces a challenge backed by President Trump, the latest attempt by the president to purge the party of politicians he views as disloyal.
Trump endorsed U.S. Rep. Julia Letlow (R-La.) over Cassidy, in an unusual attempt to dislodge an incumbent senator. Cassidy voted to convict Trump in his second impeachment trial, stemming from the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

President Trump was riding the early high of his return to power last year when he took his first major foreign trip and declared that he would make a sharp break from years of U.S. nation-building around the world.
Exactly one year after that visit to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, he came to China at a very different moment in his presidency, with inflation spiraling and no easy way out of a conflict with Iran. The fight has ensnared the U.S. military, driving energy prices up and Trump’s approval rating down.
