Dear Judge Barrett, Everyone who knows you says that you are a person of principle, conscience, and strong moral character. Having read much of your writing, I am inclined to agree with them. I therefore urge you to reflect on the profound moral questions that your judicial nomination process raises. I believe that if you do so, you will make the painful but necessary decision to […]
It was earlier reported that more than 15,000 positive COVID-19 tests had been “lost” in Britain’s tracking system since the NHS test and trace app was launched in September. The problem is currently under review. UK Secretary of State for Work and Pensions Therese Coffey on Monday said that the issue with “lost” COVID-19 tests won’t be repeated as a glitch in the system has now […]
With President Trump in Walter Reed Army Hospital, the public was inevitably going to worry, wonder, and speculate about his current and longer-term health. But his doctors are making a bad situation much worse with a cascade of confusing statements, half-truths, and rosy assessments at a time when transparency is vital. At best, his team is inviting confusion and fear after getting caught up in a […]
With the first Trump–Biden debate now smoldering behind us, the betting markets have picked their winner. That also means they’ve decided on a loser: President Donald Trump. Tuesday marked the first time the incumbent squared off face-to-face against his rival, Democratic nominee and former Vice President Joe Biden. The two septuagenarians bickered, insulted, belittled and at times screamed at one another at almost regular intervals, all […]
Back in early spring, Khristan Yates worked as a quality assurance analyst at a marketing company and loved her job. “I had one of the best jobs of my career,” recalls Yates, 31, a resident of Chicago. Yates, who’s a mother of two children, had moved into a bigger apartment just before the pandemic hit because she wanted to give her kids more space. At the […]
Tuesday’s “debate” was a trainwreck. A national embarrassment. A disgrace. If Joe Biden were looking for a pretext to skip the next two debates, he found it. It would be hard to blame him for concluding this is simply a waste of everyone’s time. We’ll see. From the start of this debate, Donald Trump interrupted Biden. Repeatedly. For a while there, it looked like Biden was […]

US diplomacy is turning into the not-so-subtle art of making demands and ultimatums, Sergey Lavrov has lamented, as the Americans go it alone in restoring anti-Iran sanctions under a 2015 deal that no longer legally applies. Washington’s reasoning behind bringing back the UN sanctions against Iran looks “funny,” as the majority of UN Security Council members – 13 out of 15 – do not support activating […]

Hours after it was revealed that President Donald Trump intentionally misled the American public about the threat posed by the coronavirus pandemic that has claimed nearly 200,000 lives nationwide, the president explained his actions by saying that he didn’t “want to scare people.” The daughter of a Trump supporter who died from COVID-19 told reporters on Thursday morning that she would rather her father have been […]

Frances Coppola, a CoinDesk columnist, is a freelance writer and speaker on banking, finance and economics. Her book “The Case for People’s Quantitative Easing” explains how modern money creation and quantitative easing work, and advocates “helicopter money” to help economies out of recession.

As Kenosha, Wisconsin, continues to reel from the police shooting of Jacob Blake, residents are increasingly turning their anger to so-called outside agitators who some say invaded the city to sow chaos amongst the protests—and even kill demonstrators. “They [outsiders] tore up our neighborhood, this is our neighborhood, this is where we shop at. These are not Kenosha people,” Lonnie Stewart, 60, told The Daily Beast. […]

As sentiment supporting Scottish withdrawal from the United Kingdom begins to rise following the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union, the ruling Conservative Party in Westminster is looking to promote the strength of the union.

I have spent most of my life as an attorney traveling to scores of countries around the world, but only recently did I set about systematically asking people what they thought of my country, the United States.

Speaking about health check-ups ahead of the November polls, Trump bragged about his “unbelievable” results in cognitive testing, insisting his rival Joe Biden would fail it if he took it. President Donald Trump said in an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity that he recently took a cognitive test and “aced” it, inviting Joe Biden, his Democratic rival in the upcoming presidential vote, to take the “same […]

The firm had earlier also said that it […]

Two-thirds of these – 34,700 cases in the wanted inventory – involved individuals whose whereabouts […]
Fever checks are a flawed way to flag Covid-19 cases. Experts say smell tests might help by Sharon Begley/STATnews Workplaces do it. Newly reopened public libraries do it. LAX does it.

As the tear gas clears across America, the nation is facing an unprecedented reckoning about systemic racism and, particularly, the criminal justice system. What makes this moment even more unique, though, is how it’s unfolding not because of presidential leadership—but, almost uniquely in American history—in spite of the president. There are moments when history unfolds quickly, when America’s foundational quest to strive toward becoming a more […]
