More than half a century after hats disappeared as an essential part of the American ensemble, they reappeared at the most recent season of fashion shows, with designers from Altuzarra to Chanel showing models with 1950s-inspired pillboxes and oversize portrait hats.Hats have become a funny little fashion gesture — a signal of personality, but mostly of dottiness. (Ha-ha! Look at this large arcane thing on my head!) They seem unlikely to permeate the world outside the bubble of fashion influencers and celebrities on the red carpet. When most of the world dresses in athleisure, why in the world would you…
GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — He’s argued his four criminal indictments and mug shot bolstered his support among Black voters who see him as a victim of discrimination just like them.He’s compared himself to Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who died in an Arctic prison imprisoned by Vladimir Putin, and suggested that he is a political dissident, too. And in nearly every public appearance, he repeats falsehoods about the election he lost.Candidates on the verge of winning their parties’ nominations generally massage their messaging and moderate positions that may energize hardcore primary voters but are less appealing to a broader audience.…
As the hangover from the 2024 legislative session lingers, some members are speaking out about this year’s failed comprehensive gambling effort now that the legislature has adjourned sine die.On Thursday, State Rep. Chris Blackshear (R-Phenix City), one of the gambling legislation’s chief sponsors, criticized the Senate Republicans who opposed his bill.State Sen. Chris Elliott (R-Josephine), one of those “no” votes on gambling, used his weekly appearance on Mobile radio FM Talk 106.5’s “The Jeff Poor Show” to react to criticism from the House of Representatives.The Baldwin County Republican lawmakers said the difference was due to Senate Republicans being more conservative…
Certain Democrats trying to cope with President Biden’s continually underwhelming 2024 poll numbers share an article of faith: the ceiling theory.All Biden needs to do is rally allies who are unenthusiastic about him — particularly young, Black and Hispanic voters — against Donald Trump. The former president’s ceiling, after all, has proved to be low; he didn’t crack 47 percent in either the 2016 or the 2020 election. And Biden has shown he can win a majority of the popular vote.There is some truth in that. But it overlooks something important that hasn’t gotten much attention: Polls show that Biden’s…
After landing in Atlanta for a fundraiser, former president and presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump met with voters and spoke to reporters. He responded to several questions on topics including his legal battles and Arizona’s Supreme Court ruling upholding a 19th century abortion ban.

Senate Republicans say former President Trump is making a mistake in setting too-low expectations for President Biden at their initial debate next month as he argues his successor at the White House “can’t put two sentences together.” They say Trump risks lowering the floor for Biden to the point that a decent performance, not a superlative one, will help the president. And they say it’s familiar frustration to them, as Trump also lowered expectations for Biden ahead of the first debate in 2020 — a move that backfired spectacularly. “It makes no sense,” one Senate Republican said on the condition…
ST. PAUL — A protest demonstration outside a fundraising dinner event featuring an appearance by former President Donald Trump featured an interesting twist.As a half-dozen orators spoke to about 50 people Friday evening during the event near Saint Paul RiverCentre, it became clear that although the protest was decidedly anti-Trump, progressives within the group also place blame at the feet of President Joe Biden for what they call racist and unjust policies. Nothing could make that more clear than both the protesters and Trump supporters chanting “F— Joe Biden” back and forth. Promoted as a pro-immigrant rally hosted by the…

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (DC News Now) — Larry Hogan, the Republican nominee for Maryland’s open U.S. Senate seat, said Friday that he’s “pro-choice” on the contentious issue of abortion that is expected to be a central focus in his race against Democrat Angela Alsobrooks this fall. “I’m not personally in favor of abortion, and I was raised as a Catholic, but I also have said for decades that I wasn’t going to make that choice for anyone else,” Hogan said to reporters on Friday at a campaign stop in Upper Marlboro. Hogan has also stated that he would support codifying…
Less than two hours after President Biden made his move Wednesday to upend the nation’s presidential debate tradition, two of CNN’s top political journalists were on the phone with Donald Trump’s high command.“We are sending you a proposal for a debate that will be in your inbox at 10 a.m.,” one of them told the Trump senior leadership, Susie Wiles, Chris LaCivita and Tony Fabrizio, in a call, before rattling off the terms of a June 27 meeting in Atlanta, according to a person familiar with the conversation.
