In a decisive result, Donald J. Trump was elected to serve a second term as president of the United States, defeating current Vice President Kamala Harris and becoming the second president ever to serve two nonconsecutive terms.

Recently, Gov. Glenn Youngkin found his greatest ally in his efforts to disenfranchise Virginia’s voters — the Supreme Court, which decided to delay their ruling on Virginia’s voter purges. This effectively allowed eleventh-hour removals to continue. For the past few months, the VDOE purged 1,600 voters from voter registration rolls under the pretense of removing noncitizens — a demographic that Youngkin incorrectly blames for mass voter fraud. In successfully defending these practices and garnering the tacit support of the Supreme Court, Youngkin once again abandoned his duty to protect Virginian voters’ rights, setting a dangerous precedent for future elections.

In the case of Mother, Amy Adams’ character at the center of “Nightbitch,” she spends her days slowly transforming into a dog.

They say senior guard Taine Murray outworks everyone and there he was, 9:33 a.m. the day after his head coach retired, shooting. He started with fakes and dribble pull-ups and then moved on to banging three-pointers.
