Republicans appear primed to win the narrowest of House majorities — around 220-215 or 219-216 — despite winning a majority of the votes nationwide and edging Democrats by around four percentage points. If they do ultimately win by around four points, it would mean Republicans improved on their margin from the 2020 election by around seven points, but they were only able to add about 2 percent of seats, as the Cook Political Report’s Dave Wasserman notes. This has understandably led to some griping and head-scratching among Republicans who wonder how they’re struggling to win the House despite that swing....

The findings, published in the journal Pharmaceutics, could not be timelier or more in demand: Over 150 people die every day...

The existence of the informants came to light over the past few days in a flurry of veiled court filings by defense lawyers for five members of the Proud Boys who are set to go on trial next month on seditious conspiracy charges connected to...

As he walks through the gates he points out the cell on the second floor where he was locked up. And when he recounts what happened here it's clear that it is a painful experience. (snip) Each image is dated - it all happened in March shortly after the invasion when they captured Kherson city. On the walls of the prison graffiti reads "Zelenskyy we are coming".
