Parents who send their kids to New York public schools have lots to worry about. Is he really learning? Is she really safe? And: Is the school gender-transitioning my child behind my back?

Fans barely outnumbered cameramen and security guards as the Dodgers honored...

Former Attorney General Bill Barr said Monday the indictment against his former boss Donald Trump for allegedly mishandling classified documents is “entirely of his own making” and “not the result of unfair government prosecution.” “For the sake of the country, our party, and a basic respect for the truth, it is time that Republicans come to grips with the hard truths about President Trump’s conduct and its implications,” Barr wrote in an article for The Free Press. “The effort to present Trump as a victim in the Mar-a-Lago document affair is cynical political propaganda.” The former AG went on to...

What a horrible way to start your era. Historically, the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears have one of the best rivalries in the NFL, but in the past four seasons, it’s been nothing but dominance for the Pack.
