Justice Samuel Alito has said he has a "pretty good idea" who was responsible for the leak of his unpublished draft opinion last year, which indicated that the Supreme Court was poised to roll back abortion rights, but does not have the proof needed to name somebody. In an interview with James Taranto, The Wall Street Journal's editorial features editor, which was published Friday, Alito said: “I personally have a pretty good idea who is responsible, but that’s different from the level of proof that is needed to name somebody. “It was a part of an effort to prevent the Dobbs draft ... from becoming the decision of the court.

WASHINGTON – Former Vice President Mike Pence's testimony before a federal grand jury is only one of the high-profile developments in the investigations of former President Donald Trump this week. Pence, as president of the Senate, was key to Trump’s strategy to overturn the results of the 2020 election. He testified Thursday before the grand jury in Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation of Trump’s role in the Capitol attack on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump’s other legal challenges include: READ MORE https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2023/04/29/donald-trump-legal-cases-investigations/11759603002/

Deliverance from demons is a booming practice among evangelical Christians, promising freedom from afflictions ranging from addiction to cancer. Elle Hardy reports from a session in Arizona. Amped-up Pentecostalism is a global affair, drawing significant teachings from places such as Brazil and Nigeria, where populations have a far more spiritual conception of the world and where good and evil are understood as operating in everyday lives. This view is gaining traction in the US, where the changing social and political landscape has led many evangelicals to feel increasingly besieged by the growing secular, liberal world around them.

It does depend on the poll and sometimes who carries it out, that's why this site is by far the best. It takes the averages of dozens of the latest polls and gives a far better picture of the true percentages. Currently Biden has a 43% approval rating. Trump at the same time of his presidency was 38.6% https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/biden-approval-rating/

Joe Biden used his time on the podium at the White House Correspondents' dinner to take some well-timed digs at Marjorie Taylor Greene, Tucker Carlson, and even Donald Trump - flexing his comedic muscles in the process. The jokes from the head of state came after he touched on the serious subject of the freedom of the press and the recent detainment of journalists like the Wall Street Journal's Evan Gershkovich, as well as WNBA star Britney Griner. Griner was among the various figured in attendance at the Washington Hilton auditorium to hear the president speak, and was even called on by Biden to stand during his speech, before being met with a round of uproarious applause. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12030043/Biden-takes-shots-Washington-Correspondents-Dinner.html

CAPE CANAVERAL, FLA. - Water may be more widespread and recent on Mars than previously thought, based on observations of Martian sand dunes by China's rover. The finding highlights new, potentially fertile areas in the warmer regions of Mars where conditions might be suitable for life to exist, though more study is needed. Friday's news comes days after mission leaders acknowledged that the Zhurong rover has yet to wake up since going into hibernation for the Martian winter nearly a year ago. https://www.ctvnews.ca/sci-tech/china-s-mars-rover-finds-signs-of-recent-water-in-sand-dunes-1.6376450#:~:text=Water may be more widespread,though more study is needed.

Counting millions of people is never an easy task, but the United Nations says its latest calculations show that by the end of this weekend, India will have more people than China, marking an epochal shift in global demographics. Most of the world has grown up with China holding the title of the world’s most populous country, but decades of restrictive policies limiting families to one child dramatically slowed China’s birth rate, allowing India to pull ahead. But having a chart-topping headcount is not necessary a title that most countries covet.

WASHINGTON — Before entering the 2024 presidential race as a Democrat, Robert Kennedy Jr. spent years cultivating the kind of following on the far-right that now has prominent Donald Trump allies urging the former president to consider Kennedy as his running mate. Kennedy inhabits an ambiguous ideological space. He's proudly running as a Democrat who supports abortion rights and gun control, but his views on vaccines and other issues — and frequent appearances on outlets from Fox News to Alex Jones’ Infowars — have made him popular among far-right conspiracy theorists.
