After conviction comes sentencing, but any time behind bars will be unlikely for Donald Trump. It’s not because his attempt to hide his tawdry tryst with Stormy Daniels in the weeks before the 2016 election wasn’t important — it was, and the subterfuge may have been crucial to his subsequent victory — it is because the minor level felonies he was found guilty of don’t warrant incarnation.

LOS ANGELES — When I used to complain about the divisiveness of American politics, my son, Henry, would often suggest I do something about it. Henry had been a poll worker during the 2020 elections, when he was 17. It was his first official job and he loved the experience. He even wrote about it in his college essays.

I live in Northern California, but I traveled to Texas to take the SAT on Saturday.

As I watched news coverage of Chicago police clearing a pro-Palestinian encampment from DePaul University’s campus on May 16, I felt a familiar dread.

As graduations wind down, the Class of 2024 faces its next milestone: securing that first job after college.

Donald Trump continued his ignominious career of firsts Thursday, becoming the only former U.S. president to be convicted of felony crimes — 34, to be exact — for falsifying business records to influence an election in a hush-money scheme involving a porn actor.

Americans deserve a government dedicated to America’s best interests, not the highest bidder. And yet, Sen. Bob Menedez, D-N.J., is on trial for giving billions of your money to Egypt in exchange for gold bars and fancy cars.

During John Roberts’ confirmation hearing as chief justice in 2005, he claimed that the “primary check on the courts has always been judicial self-restraint.” Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kansas, then queried rhetorically, “If you don’t restrain yourselves, who does?”

Faking it until you make it may be a common practice in some careers. But it’s clearly unethical for scientists and medical researchers. All the same thousands of fake papers are churned out by so-called paper mills and published every year, many of them in peer-reviewed journals.

Immigration has become such a divisive issue that many Minnesotans feel they are being pushed into one of two camps. They are either soft-hearts who empathize with downtrodden people seeking a better life in America or hard-heads who want to defend the nation’s economy and laws.

Having depended on hearing aids for nearly three decades, I’m astounded by the lack of Medicare coverage for devices that can solve a problem afflicting tens of millions of older Americans.

Of course Nikki Haley now says she’ll vote for Donald Trump. The blink of an eye ago she called him “unstable and unhinged,” an individual who’s “just toxic” and “lacks moral clarity.”
