Tear gas in Paris. Fires in Lyon. Projectiles in Strasbourg and Rennes. More than 6,100 arrests, most of them children. That was Tuesday in France, the worst day yet in a school protest movement that began in September and has curdled into something uglier. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu called it the school system’s “heaviest toll in decades.” He told lawmakers
Jack Smith went to a concert Saturday night. That should be the least interesting sentence written about anyone this week. For three years he was the most consequential prosecutor in the country. Merrick Garland picked him in November 2022 to decide whether Donald Trump would face federal charges. He decided yes, twice. Whatever you thought of those cases, they all

The audience was American students, professors, journalists, and voters.
Iran’s best weapon in this war hasn’t been a missile. It’s been a map. Hormuz is narrow. The world’s oil has to pass through it. Tehran knows that, and since February it has played the strait like a card: squeeze it, spook the markets, wait for Washington to deal. The card is losing its value. The U.S. Navy and the

Donald Trump won’t be on the ballot this November. He’d like his voters to forget that. “MAGA, pretend I am on the ballot,” the president wrote on TRUTH Social. In seven words, he named the Republican Party’s biggest midterm problem and offered his own solution. The problem is simple. The man who brings out the base isn’t running. The people

Only citizens vote in American elections. That’s the law, and until Friday, a federal judge was making it harder to enforce. The Supreme Court fixed that.

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
