Facebook Tweet Email Link Tel Aviv, Israel  —  Eliya Cohen is a survivor who can’t yet bring himself to live again. He hid under bodies as Hamas militants hurled grenades into a bomb shelter before they took him prisoner. He lived through 505 days of captivity in Gaza, chained and sharing scraps of pita and canned beans with other hostages. And he was released to his joyful family – and to find his girlfriend alive and waiting for him. But six months after he got out of Gaza, he says he cannot begin to recover. Not while other hostages are…

Facebook Tweet Email Link For months, the Democratic Party has been a massive vacuum. Its base has been crying out for someone to go toe-to-toe with MAGA and President Donald Trump and to rescue it from its post-2024 funk. Democratic motivation to participate in the midterms has been off the charts. But leaders who are able to seize on that have been all but absent. Until Gavin Newsom. Through happenstance and his oft-demonstrated political guile, the California governor is quickly raising his national profile. And you could forgive Democrats for seeing him as the potential future national leader they’ve been…

Facebook Tweet Email Link US President Donald Trump has ditched his call for a ceasefire in Ukraine, backing instead Russian President Vladimir Putin’s push for a permanent peace agreement. That has not stopped some European leaders from pushing for a temporary truce first, even though the US president has seemingly decided one is not necessary. It’s not that Kyiv and its allies don’t want peace. But they understand that the kind of deal sought by Russia can’t happen unless the most basic principle underpinning the global order – that a country cannot get what it wants by force – is…

Facebook Tweet Email Link When writer-director Christopher Landon departed “Scream VII” in 2023, there was what he says really happened and then there was a perceived story of what went down. Landon – helmer of popular horror tiles including “Happy Death Day” in 2017 and 2020’s “Freaky,” and the son of “Little House on the Prairie” star Michael Landon – left the “Scream” franchise shortly after then-star Melissa Barerra was fired from the project, following social media posts she shared around that time about the war in Gaza. “There was no movie anymore. The whole script was about her,” Landon…
