Where’s Fetterman? It’s a good question. The new senator from Pennsylvania has been on a lengthy absence following physical and mental health struggles.

In an information vacuum, such as the one surrounding John Fetterman’s long absence, things are bound to get crazy … and they have. Oh god yes, Fake Fetterman conspiracy, let's go pic.twitter.com/rRuw2wPcpw — Populism Updates (@PopulismUpdates) March 24, 2023 That’s right,...

WALDO, Fla. (AP) - The tiny town of Waldo in north Florida has such a notorious reputation as a speed trap that AAA erected billboards to warn drivers about it, but all that may be about to change. On Tuesday, weeks after the police chief and interim chief resigned due to state investigations into ticket quotas, mishandling of evidence and other issues, Waldo's City Council disbanded its police force.

Searchers Focus on April 5 Signals as Confidence Fades Over April 8 Detections Searchers preparing to resume the underwater hunt for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 increasingly suspect that some of the electronic signals detected last month didn't come from the jetliner's black-box flight recorders, a senior Australian naval officer said. The doubts—based on further acoustic analysis of the transmissions by Australian authorities over recent weeks—represent another potential setback in the two-month-old operation. An initial underwater search in the southern Indian Ocean has already failed to find any sign of the missing plane, while a costly air-and-ship search of the ocean's...

For a man who won office talking about change we can believe in, Barack Obama can be a strangely passive president. There are a startling number of occasions in which the president has been missing in action - unwilling, reluctant or late to weigh in on the issue of the moment.

Each of these instances can be explained on its own terms, as matters of legislative strategy, geopolitical calculation or political prudence.
