OPINION | The American people have spoken and issued a stinging repudiation of the Trump administration in the midterm elections.
Already, Vice President JD Vance has laid blame for his party’s poor performance on two areas of foreign policy, the Iran war and its Israel policy. Wider issues of affordability and the Trump administration’s policy on tariffs also likely loomed large in voters’ decisions.

OPINION | Researchers at the University of Lincoln recently found that everyday aggression (e.g., minor physical altercations) and lethal aggression do not lie on the same continuum. In other words, killing isn’t merely aggression turned up to its highest setting.

It is because of people like her father that she could vote at all.

They work stocking shelves despite having a college degree. They can’t afford a plane ticket home for Thanksgiving or even a meal at the fast-food chain where they work. They pay $90 to fill their pickup’s gas tank, vastly more than they did a year ago.
Young voters cited those economic pressures in turning on President Trump’s party Tuesday, and along the way positioned themselves as a potential new force in American politics. Their frustration, underlined by a sense that the traditional milestones of adulthood have moved well out of reach, helped drive the sharpest political realignment of any age group.

The Republicans’ defeat in the U.S. midterm elections was watched closely in Russia, where some observers are predicting it could herald more support for Ukraine when the Democrats take over Congress in January.
But if the Kremlin is hearing the ticking of a clock on its nearly 5-year-old full-scale invasion of its neighbor, it seemingly remains unperturbed.

The SS United States — a huge ocean liner that once ferried celebrities — is slated to be sunk to the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico next week, to become the world’s largest artificial reef.
It will be an auspicious end for the 990-foot ship, which smashed the transatlantic speed record for an ocean liner on its 1952 maiden voyage but spent more recent decades bouncing from owner to owner, struggling to find a new purpose and avoid the scrap heap.
