Gender politics obscure tragedy in Clancy trial (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A Massachusetts jury is now deliberating the fate of Lindsay Clancy, who, horrifyingly, strangled her three children — ranging in age from 8 months to 5 years — and whose defense has argued that she was not criminally responsible for those acts because of severe mental illness. Clancy, who suffered from postpartum anxiety and depression and repeatedly sought psychiatric help, has received support from some women who believe she deserves compassion as an overwhelmed mom let down by an unsupportiv
Vendetta against Fauci is a disgrace (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dr. Anthony Fauci is hardly above criticism. But the appearance by the former chief medical adviser to the president of the United States turned into bizarre theater before a Senate panel last week. Fauci refused to answer questions, invoking the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, while Senate Republicans castigated his alleged mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic. For Fauci’s detractors, mostly on the right, this was a belated attempt to hold an arrogant bureaucrat accountable fo
'The Odyssey' provokes outrage from 'woke right' (opens the original)

The primary victories of Darializa Avila Chevalier and Claire Valdez — members of the Democratic Socialists of America, or DSA, who unseated more moderate Democrats in congressional districts in New York — have caused both excitement and anxiety. The victory of another DSA-affiliated candidate, Melat Kiros, against an incumbent in Colorado has been cited as a sign that the socialist sweep i
Momentum changes as Ukraine seeks peace through strength (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Just a few months ago, it seemed all but certain that Ukraine was slowly but inexorably losing its war against the Russian invasion. Russia, it was widely believed, was going to overwhelm Ukraine’s defenders with its crew advantage — and with Vladimir Putin’s ruthless willingness to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of Russian lives to his goal of capturing, at the very least, the Donbas region of Eastern Ukraine. Those of us who cautioned against counting out Ukraine were often accused of wishful
