Francesca Hong’s team is making press credentials for reporters at her election night party using sharpies and masking tape after quickly running out of printed passes for media — an example of her insurgent campaign’s remarkable rise despite extremely limited resources. Hong, who in campaign speeches this week has described herself as a “long shot” and “wild card” candidate, is polling far ahead of David Crowley, who had been endorsed by the sitting Democratic governor, Tony Evers. Hong sailed to the lead despite a massive fundraising disadvantage and a team that largely lacks experience working on a campaign this high…

Typhoon Dolphin made landfall in China on Sunday, held together better than meteorologists were expecting, and pushed inland, bringing heavy rains and flooding to central China and raising severe weather alerts in the national capital of Beijing. As the storm advanced, Chinese Communist Party censors worked furiously to delete “flood-related rumors” that were alleged generated with artificial intelligence (A.I.). Typhoon Dolphin is the strongest tropical cyclone to strike China this year, with rains and wind well above the standards for a Category 1 hurricane. Heavy rain has been a particular concern, as the storm made landfall in the eastern Zhejiang…

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) wants super PACs banned from having a hand in Democrat primary elections, namely the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). Sanders is calling on Democrat leaders to enact a ban after AIPAC spent money to try and defeat far-left U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed (D-MI) as the November midterms approach, the Hill reported Sunday. The senator has thrown his support behind El-Sayed, a Muslim whom Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) claimed “represents the politics of the future” for America. Sanders addressed the issue in a recent letter to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), House Minority Leader…

Hotly contested Democratic primaries in a pair of Upper Midwestern states tonight will test a half dozen Democrats eyeing 2028 presidential bids who have endorsed on opposite sides of key races. Endorsements have been a major way for Democratic leaders and wannabes to try to shape the party in their image and get key allies in positions of power, at a time when contentious primaries have laid bare the party’s generational and ideological differences. The results have started to reveal whose endorsement has power — and which potential future presidential candidates have a pulse on the party’s base right now.…

Former Mossad chief Yossi Cohen revealed Tuesday that Israeli spies had “toured” Iran’s heavily fortified Fordow nuclear site “many times” to understand the underground facility before its eventual destruction by U.S. forces — offering a striking glimpse into the depth of Israel’s intelligence penetration of the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program. “We toured the Fordow nuclear site many times in order to understand the site,” Cohen, who led Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency from 2016 to 2021, said at the Galilee Conference in northern Israel.

In an era defined by fierce geopolitical competition, FBI Director Kash Patel has charted a course that prioritizes pragmatism and results.By building selective yet substantive law-enforcement partnerships with China and Russia, the bureau is demonstrating that great powers can set aside deeper differences to confront transnational crime that endangers citizens everywhere. This development deserves recognition as a mature, interest-based approach, showing that effective governance in a multipolar world requires the capacity to cooperate wherever it delivers concrete gains.Breaking the ice with BeijingPatel’s engagement with his Chinese counterparts marks a clear departure from years of a near-total freeze in high-level law-enforcement…
