Would this party animal lie to you? Photo: Matt - Dunham - WPA Pool/Getty Images Just when it seemed as though U.K. prime minister Boris Johnson might have escaped the worst fallout from his relentless COVID-lockdown partying, more photos have emerged to remind the British public of his relentless COVID-lockdown partying. On Monday, ITV News published four photos of Johnson that show him making a toast at a gathering at 10 Downing Street on November 13, 2020, at the beginning of a strict lockdown period the PM himself had instituted days earlier. The occasion was the departure of Johnson’s communications head, Lee Cain. Bottles of liquor and various snacks line the table in front of Johnson as he carouses with unidentified fellow partygoers at a time when the rest of the country was forbidden from any household-to-household contact.

Greene’s divisive politics face test in Republican primary

Marjorie Taylor Greene faced her first reelection vote Tuesday in a GOP primary race that tests how her conservative Georgia constituents judge her turbulent freshman term.

Greene remained on the primary ballot Tuesday in Georgia's 14th Congressional District after a failed effort to disqualify her by opposing voters. They argued Greene engaged in insurrection by encouraging the Jan. 6, 2021, riot that disrupted Congress’ certification of Joe Biden’s presidential victory.

On a Tuesday evening in April, nearly half a century after Joe Biden first publicly mused about running for president, an unsettled cross section of the Democratic Establishment assembled at Pinehurst, a golf resort in North Carolina. Inflation was at a 40-year high, Biden’s disapproval rating sat at 56 percent, and editors at the New York Times were readying a front-page report about how his signature achievement — $1.9 trillion in coronavirus-relief spending — has “barely registered with voters.” The lobbyists, donors, staffers, and elected officials were gathering for the spring policy meeting of the Democratic Governors Association, and the scheduled sessions concerned such topics as health care and diversity in governance. But between panel discussions, in the hallways and at the cocktail reception on the … [Read more...] about There Has to Be a Backup Plan. There’s a Backup Plan, Right?
