In the short term, they probably can. The latest crisis is less daunting than it looks. Despite the explosive allegations from Capitol Hill, the White House remains committed to Riyadh. In fact, there’s little choice. Some U.S. strategists had hoped that post-Saddam Iraq would replace the fractious Saudis as guarantor of the world’s oil supply. Forget it. If Iraq’s security situation gets any worse, its oil production could remain below 2 million barrels a day....
Johnson’s speech on Tuesday night was not made in a vacuum. This year, abortion foes won recent victories for so-called “reason bans,” like the one the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals viewed favorably a few weeks ago.

In 2019, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas praised one such law in a blistering concurrence....
According to the president, as of Monday almost a million people have requested tickets to attend the event on Saturday.

Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt has since said the event could be moved from its current venue of the BOK Center, which has a capacity of just over 19,000, potentially to an outdoor space....
The lawsuit was filed in an Oklahoma City state district court Thursday. Under the law, performing an abortion would be designated as “unprofessional conduct,” and a doctor’s license could be in danger of being revoked. All doctors who administer abortions would be required to have board certification in obstetrics and gynecology. Additionally, the procedure would be prohibited in cases where a fetal heartbeat can be detected, and the law stipulates that any doctor who performs an abortion past the threshold would be committing homicide, the AP reported....

Fighting 11 months after their initial encounter at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where Usyk majestically dethroned Joshua, each brought renewed intensity to their rivalry, which reached a sensational crescendo during rounds nine and 10 as the action ebbed back and forth. By that stage, however, Usyk’s sensational skills had largely negated Joshua’s intelligent body attack and opened up an advantage that was recognised by margins of 116-112 and 115-113 on two scorecards....

BA.2 caught scientists’ attention in the first months of 2022 after it overtook the already fast-spreading Omicron BA.1 sub-type to become the dominant variant in the United States and elsewhere. As we’ve seen, COVID rarely remains the same for long. Soon after BA.2 became dominant more mutations arose and another sub-type called BA.2.12.1 overtook BA.2. At the beginning of June, infections from two more Omicron sub-types, BA.4 and BA.5 were noted to be rising rapidly....

Sept. 11 and the COVID-19 pandemic, though fueled by disparate sources, challenge us similarly: How do we shepherd one another through a land we ourselves have never visited? How do we sit with one another in fresh grief when we are overcome by feelings we cannot yet identify? My experience as a young person leading young people through uncharted territory was wobbly at best. I remember hobbling on crutches up four flights of stairs in the elevator-less dorm to check in on students from New Jersey and New York, to ask about students from Washington, D....

Inspired by this vision, the government did more or less nothing over the next 16 years, while the 2.5 million visitors of 1980 turned into 4.1 million by 1996. Then came this January’s torrential storm, compounded by a premature warm spell, which sent a half-mile-wide torrent sweeping down the valley. Without even a draft environmental-impact statement, the flood wiped out bridges, roads, $55 campsites and 266 motel rooms and cabins....
