Read excerpt
The Republican senator thought he was going to dunk on his opponent. Instead, he ended up flat on his back in a wild moment on Capitol Hill on Tuesday. Get ready for a bizarre story that somehow includes basketball star Caitlin Clark. And it’s what the Washington media was buzzing about Tuesday.

Read excerpt
Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich was arrested while reporting in Russia on March 29, 2023. When he learned he was being charged with espionage, he was, believe it or not, relieved.

Read excerpt
Once again, a federal court has said President Donald Trump has gone too far in his attacks against a free press in this country.
