That’s the headline from a Wall Street Journal report Thursday, and it landed at a moment when the war with Tehran is already at a boil. The intelligence, according to people familiar with it, points to a plan American officials hadn’t been tracking before Israel flagged it.

The threat, notably, has not yet

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee joined a growing list of party leaders demanding Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner get out of the race, after a woman came forward with a detailed account of sexual assault. Platner won his primary this summer as part of a wave of progressive newcomers.
