A breach among Ohio Republicans, who are split between President-elect Donald Trump and establishment-friendly Governor Mike DeWine, is being exacerbated by the Senate hunt for Vice President-elect JD Vance's successor. For the last two years of the term Vance won in 2022, DeWine, who supported a candidate backed by Trump this year in the fight for Ohio's second Senate seat, will designate a candidate to replace Vance's seat at least until a special election in 2026. He is already being heavily lobbied by competitors. DeWine spokesperson Dan Tierney told NBC News that his phone has been ringing nonstop. According to DeWine, he would rather pick a candidate who can win a GOP primary within two years. Additionally, the individual he chooses will probably have to pass a rapid litany of loyalt...

Following his loss in the 2022 election, Brazil's federal police nominated 37 individuals for prosecution, including attempted coup d'tat, including former president Jair Bolsonaro. Bolsonaro and others are charged with violently overthrowing the Democratic state of law, coup d'tat, and constituting a criminal organization, according to a statement from Brazil's federal police. Nearly two years of conjecture regarding Bolsonaro's involvement in the election-denying campaign that resulted in rioting by his supporters that swept through the city of Brasilia in January 2023, just one week after his competitor and current president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva took office, have come to a head with the release of the final police report. Many demonstrators claimed they intended to cause mayhem in ...

A 30-day restriction issued by the Federal Aviation Administration last week after gunfire struck a Spirit Airlines plane as it attempted to land in Port-au-Prince continues to affect all travel between the U.S. and Haiti, including critical assistance missions. As the chief program officer for Hope for Haiti, a nonprofit that fights poverty, Linda Thelemaque frequently visits the southern city of Les Cayes. She claimed that the Caribbean country, where gang violence already makes ground transportation between cities all but impossible, is now experiencing a logistical nightmare due to the inability to fly in supplies. According to Thelemaque, gang violence has become a major problem for us, effectively cutting off ground transportation. We are also dealing with higher expenses and delive...

The National Book Award for fiction was given to Percival Everett on Wednesday for his new book James, which is a retelling of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn from the viewpoint of Huck's enslaved friend. James turns the traditional Mark Twain work on its head by delving into Jim's inner experiences of the adventures, his ideas on racism, and his actions when white people weren't there. Everett discussed the significance of books and how they can unite people in trying times in his acceptance speech on Wednesday. In reference to the outcome of the presidential election, I was feeling quite depressed two weeks ago, and to be honest, I still feel that way. I must admit that I feel a glimmer of hope when I gaze out at all the enthusiasm for literature. Everett, who has written extensivel...
