Trump Is Dominating GOP Primary Elections. Does That Mean Victory in the Midterms?
The challenge of the administration right now,... is the issues that they bring up, that Trump brings up, are not where voters are. They don’t need a ballroom, they don’t need a weaponization fund, they need lettuce to be affordable.”
There’s a way to leadership within the Republican Party with his blessing or without his opposition,
His endorsement is the most powerful endorsement in the history of American politics — look no further than his perfect record in the past year for proof,
The long-term thinkers on Capitol Hill are thinking about where you are in two, four, six years, not just the next six months and what they would tell you is that President Trump is a part of that calculus,

Fishermen endure the forces of nature: wind, rain and sun. But they also face pirates, and on top of that, now there is this bombing thing,
We live in fear of these strikes,... and because of that, many people have stopped going out to fish.”

Israel Captures Crusader Castle That Symbolized Its Long Lebanon Occupation
Israel Day Parade to Return to New York Against a Changed Backdrop
I said on the campaign trail I would not be attending the parade, and I have made my views on the Israeli government abundantly clear,
It is the mayor’s decision not to march, and it is my decision to march proudly.”
We’re not marching in favor of the government; we’re marching in favor of Jewish pride and Jewish identity,
As the mayor of our city, I take seriously my responsibility to protect the safety and well-being of every New Yorker and every event, regardless of my attendance,
My focus and my main concern is about those who are showing up and less about those who choose not to,

The author is older, the world seems weirder; he hates it and loves it,
Pope Leo is a prophetic voice crying in the wilderness, even if amoral politicians and avaricious corporate bosses refuse to listen,
While A.I. isn’t without risk, government control is likely to result in an even greater concentration of power,
N.J. Governor Calls for Calm After Protesters Clash With Police at Delaney Hall
The detention center has, for the past week, been the site of tense protests over concerns about living conditions at the facility
I do not know why these individuals attacked or what they wanted to accomplish, but I refuse to let these dangerous actions detract from New Jersey’s dedication to ensuring public safety, keeping people safe from ICE, and that the people detained inside Delaney Hall are treated with dignity,
How to Make Americans Read Again
Pulling Customs From ‘Sanctuary’ City Airports Would Cause Chaos, Business Groups Say
We have people from around the world and around the country that need to be able to fly into all different kinds of places,
If things don’t change, we’re going to have to make this step pretty quick,
We shouldn’t be processing international flights into their cities either,
If local law enforcement isn’t going to help, then we have to provide what assets we have,... Therefore we won’t be able to process international flights going to those airports, because those officers will be reassigned.”

His American political renaissance in the California governor’s race has bemused former British colleagues and rivals

To a certain extent, people on the East Coast in particular who look in don’t quite get the level of frustration bordering on rage in California with the conditions here,... it’s very obvious that the anti-Trump messaging is basically all that the Democrats have in California.”
Before the 2010 election, we had a policy conversation where we discussed making departure from the E.U. an actual policy commitment,
It’s from the producers of ‘Veep,’
It was policy by mouth feel. If it sounds good coming out of your mouth and it passes the speech test, or surviving the questions in Parliament test, then it’s good policy.”

India’s Hindu Right Has a New Hero: A 17th-Century Warrior King
He’s a protean, mobile, multivalent, polysemic kind of figure,
Shivaji would be highly confused by modern allegations that he was fighting for Hindus,

High-Speed Sailboats Race Past the New York Skyline
Out in the chop in the third-busiest port in the country, just minutes before that race started, Ms. van der Velden took a moment to spot the Statue of Liberty in front of her, the Brooklyn Bridge behind her, and that famous skyline
We’ve shortened the races and moved them close to shore where you can see the speed, which is breathtaking,
When people think of a sailboat race, they think of white triangles on a blue background far from shore, slow-paced, hard to understand, elitist,
