Nine percent. That is what Kamala Harris draws as a first-choice presidential candidate in her own home state, according to a new poll from the UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies. In the place that knows her best, where her political identity was forged, fewer than one in ten Democrats are raising their hand for her. The survey, conducted March
There is a particular moment when a leader must address not only the enemy abroad but also the rumors gathering at home. Benjamin Netanyahu stepped before the cameras Thursday evening to do both.

War breaks out — and so do the court jesters. America’s late-night comedians responded to the outbreak of the Iran conflict with a week of disapproval and an even sharper imbalance in their punchlines.

Democrat Rep. Jared Huffman (CA) accused the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) of politically weaponizing religion by “rebuking” Democrats who support abortion, and the congressman suggested that these Catholic churches should
