‘We Can’t Indulge These Insane Lies’: Arizona G.O.P. Split on Vote Audit

For weeks, election professionals and Democrats have consistently called the Republican-backed review of November voting results in Arizona a fatally flawed exercise, marred by its partisan cast of characters and sometimes bizarre methodology.

Opinion | For Trump, Hamas and Bibi, It Is Always Jan. 6

And within 48 hours of fighting that is exactly what happened. Bibi frightened Bennett away from forming a coalition with an Israeli Arab party, not to mention centrist and progressive Israelis, and Mansour Abbas was put in an impossible situation by Hamas by looking like he was collaborating with Israeli Jews who were hammering Palestinians […] More

Violence Shakes Trump’s Boast of ‘New Middle East’

WASHINGTON — It was, President Donald J.

The G.O.P.’s Big Cancellation – The New York Times

Mr. Potato Head is under siege. So are the Muppets, baseball and Coca-Cola. Even a horse fell victim. “It was like a cancel culture kind of thing,” the trainer of Medina Spirit told Fox News after the Kentucky Derby-winning horse failed a drug test. In the Biden era, wailing about cancel culture has emerged as […] More

In Elise Stefanik, the GOP Installs a Trump Convert

Even as she was allying herself with Mr. Trump, Ms. Stefanik was playing a leading role in countering his effect on the Republican Party, which lost its House majority that year in part because suburban women were alienated by him.
