Sometimes the mere announcement of a protest is enough. A gathering scheduled for August at the Powerscourt Hotel in County Wicklow was meant to bring together guests by invitation only. It is called Dialog, it has existed for 20 years, and it is funded by Peter Thiel. On July 3, it became clear that it would not happen. The Irish groups that had mobilized against ...
There are things no political opponent could ever make up. The President of the United States posts them himself from his verified account, in a series of images that would look like satire from one of his critics if they hadn't come directly from him.

At the annual Alliance Defending Freedom summit in San Diego, the speaker was introduced with a single sentence that made everything else almost unnecessary. Before he ever ran for Congress, Speaker Johnson ...
A man was seriously injured Friday evening in Yellowstone National Park after an enraged bull bison hurled him approximately 8 feet through the air. The incident occurred at the Bridge Bay Campground south of Fishing Bridge ...
Criticism of the AfD does not need extra ammunition. Its platform, its rhetoric, and its conduct in state legislatures and parliamentary committees provide more than enough material for sharp, evidence-based reporting.
