In an era of deep polarization, Mr. Mueller’s 448-page report quickly became yet another case study in the disparate realities of American politics. People of all political persuasions shared one feeling: disgust with the country’s leaders and a sense that important issues, such as health care, continued to be ignored. Unlike previous administrations, where officials feared blows to their credibility in public, President Trump’s press aides are generally performing for an audience of one — the president. The Mueller report showed that Justice Department leaders were more deeply under siege than previously known. The special counsel revealed that some claims in the dossier appeared to be false while others were impossible to prove. Republicans have vowed to investigate. The man who oversaw the design of the fire safety system at the cathedral said he was “stunned” at the fire’s speed. Experts said the system included delays that cost firefighters critical minutes. A look at a blaze that ravaged a symbol of Paris, prompted calls for people to unite in restoring it and spurred inquiries into how such a catastrophe could have been prevented. Mr. Buttigieg’s firing of popular black police chief Darryl Boykins unleashed a blizzard of claims, counterclaims, lawsuits and anguish in the minority community. In Britain’s celebrity pregnancy economy, Meghan Markle’s unborn child is inspiring wagers, luxury cookie tins and diamond-encrusted jars of diaper rash cream. Here’s what you need to know at the end of the day. A perceived victory for Russian interference poses a serious risk for the United States. A scrupulous report saved an unscrupulous president. Mueller laid out the evidence for members of Congress to take action against President Trump. Will they? They were able to define “collusion” to benefit themselves. Don’t let them twist meanings again with their “spying” investigation. A God who allows suffering is a mystery, but so is a God who suffered. The Mueller report won’t move the political needle. Trump supporters always knew he was a scam artist. We can save our broken economic system from itself. The missing piece of the report is a counterintelligence investigation that should set off alarm bells about our democracy and security. We should be grateful for his resistance to wrongdoing while working for the Trump White House. A burned cathedral, but not an angry, dissatisfied people. I’ll have to make it myself. Let’s just say they’re a little low. The Interior Department acted illegally when it sought to lift an Obama-era moratorium on coal mining on public lands, a court found. The move, which will reduce the number of directors to seven, is meant to improve corporate governance of the electric car company. The Seagram’s liquor heiress was one of two women who pleaded guilty on Friday in a racketeering case against the cultlike group that branded members. The man, John J. Kless, of Florida, made phone calls laced with slurs to the lawmakers, and to another member of Congress in California, on April 16, according to court records. Islamic State propagandists said the group was responsible for an assault that left eight Congolese soldiers dead. It was the group’s first Congo attack. The couple starved, beat and shackled their children to their beds. Their crimes were only discovered when one child found the courage to escape and call for help. The United States had condemned the Libyan militia leader Khalifa Hifter for trying to depose a U.N.-backed government. Now President Trump has backed him. Stewart, like many women, plays overseas in the W.N.B.A.’s off-season to earn more money. But the endless season takes a mental toll and, as an injured Stewart shows, a physical one. A proposed deal is meeting resistance from labor, regulators and some shareholders. But there is also political momentum in Germany for a tie-up. “Anthem: Homunculus” is a six-hour, 10-episode epic about a man and his teratoma. The tumor sings. As do Glenn Close, Patti LuPone and Cynthia Erivo. More Recent Articles |
