A recurring problem with contemporary books about the Islamic Republic is that authors often deny Iranians the agency they deserve.

The Color of Money is not the best film in its three leads' bodies of work (meaning costars Paul Newman and Tom Cruise, alongside director Martin Scorsese).

The Democratic Senate nominee in Arkansas, Hallie Shoffner, copped to employing illegal immigrants—or "undocumented" migrants, as she called them—on her family farm, telling a local podcast earlier this month that she’d "trade five Americans for just one" illegal alien "because of how hard they work."

Abdul El-Sayed gets really defensive when you mention his height. The Democrat from Michigan is 5-foot-8 (at most) in thick-soled shoes.
