State of the Union addresses are usually sedate affairs, but the Supreme Court turned this year’s into must-see TV. The 6-3 decision invalidating the Liberation Day tariffs landed like a bomb last Friday.

No one thought it could happen, but Donald Trump believed. The president performed a miracle on Tuesday by compelling Democrats to stand and cheer for their country during his State of the Union address—by praising the USA women's hockey team and inviting them to the White House.

Rep. Ro Khanna (D., Calif.) said in an interview released Monday that he is "so careful" not to spread "conspiracy theories" about Jeffrey Epstein.

New Yorker reporter Tad Friend posed a question for Texas Democratic Senate hopeful James Talarico as the two sipped red wine together for a recent magazine profile: If the Devil tempted you with a super PAC to handle the political dirty work for you, would you accept?
ProPublica, which describes itself as "an independent, nonprofit newsroom that produces investigative journalism with moral force," but is in reality a left-wing investigative outlet bankrolled by left-wing foundations, left-wing donors, and anonymous benefactors, is facing a possible strike by workers who formed a union in 2023 but say management has been "unwilling to accept basic union protections" after more than two years of contract negotiations.
