“20 Days in Mariupol,” by Pulitzer Prize-winning AP video journalist Mstyslav Chernov, shows why helping Kyiv defeat Russia is vital to U.S. security — and that of its allies.

The phrase is code for eradicating the state of Israel, but some right-wing Israelis don’t shy away from similar calls regarding Palestinians.

Understanding of the contradictions of the Mideast conflict is required to navigate through the rivers of rhetorical hate.

The ousting of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy illuminates the choice that confronts Republicans in Congress and in the voting booth: chaos or the Constitution.
