After a routine Supreme Court argument on Wednesday, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. asked the lawyer who had represented the government to return to the lectern.“You have just presented your 160th argument before this court, and I understand it is intended to be your last,” the chief justice told the lawyer, Edwin S. Kneedler, who is retiring as a deputy solicitor general. “That is the record for modern times.”Chief Justice Roberts talked a little more, with affection and high praise, thanking Mr. Kneedler for his “extraordinary care and professionalism.”Then something remarkable happened. Applause burst out in the courtroom, and…

A rehearsal of “The Central Park Five,” an opera about the Black and Latino boys wrongly convicted of raping a Central Park jogger, was just a few days old this month when the tenor who plays Donald J. Trump began to sing.“They are animals! Monsters!…Support our police! Bring back the death penalty!” he bellowed.The opera, which chronicles how the young men were forced to confess and later were exonerated, depicts President Trump as an inflammatory figure who, in 1989, bought several full-page newspaper ads that demonized “roving bands of wild criminals,” adding, “I want them to be afraid.”When the work…

The lone Republican vote in the Senate last month to protect consumers from bank overdraft fees came from an unlikely Democratic ally: Senator Josh Hawley, the archconservative from Missouri best known for calling out “wokeness” in all sectors of society, and for raising his fist to offer solidarity with supporters of President Trump hours before the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol.And yet the overdraft vote was hardly the first time Mr. Hawley had stood apart from his Republican colleagues. In 2023 he introduced a bill to cap out-of-pocket insulin costs at $25 per month, which died in committee for…

Sara Busse needed to make a hot meal for 40 needy seniors. She had promised a main dish, a starch, a vegetable, a fruit and a dessert.In the past, she had gotten many of those ingredients for free from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.This time, she had dried cranberries, crackers and vegetable soup.“What am I supposed to do?” she said. “What am I supposed to cook?”That put more pressure on charitable organizations that distribute groceries or meals to hold up their corner of the American safety net, dipping into reserves and scrounging for donations to replace the food they had…

Out of power, disorganized and stung by their November election losses, Democrats have struggled to mount a coherent response to President Trump as he has unleashed a blitz of contentious nominations, explosive executive orders and an unforeseen rampage by Elon Musk and his acolytes through the executive branch.Now, with Congress returning from its spring recess on Monday and Republicans under pressure to deliver on a legislative agenda, Democrats believe they have a prime opportunity for a reset. Republicans will be forced to begin providing politically charged specifics of their tax and spending program, handing the minority ample fodder for attacks.House…

Iké Udé will tell you that he is not a dandy, and that he wonders why Americans are so keen to categorize people. “I don’t think I should elect to call myself anything,” he said.If pressed, though, the elegant Mr. Udé, a New York artist born in Nigeria, will acknowledge that “dandyism is a discipline,” one that he does practice, even while refusing any label.Yet dandyism is all about refusal — of fixed identities, of mediocrity, of gender conventions, of the boundary between life and art. Dandyism blends literary and artistic creation with the art of personality, the careful cultivation…

Brittany Romano, 32, was not looking to start her own long-distance rom-com last September when she showed up to JetBlue’s lounge at Kennedy International Airport 10 minutes before her flight was set to board — but she did.That’s where she met Matt Harrington, 35, a schoolteacher from Pasadena, Calif. He had spied her rushing through security, and when she stopped in the lounge for her usual routine — “take a shot and use the restroom” — he sent her a tequila shot and took one himself. Then the two jogged to catch their plane, as it turned out they were…

JAKARTA :South Korean companies will increase their investment in Indonesia by $1.7 billion, Indonesian economic minister Airlangga Hartarto said on Monday after attending a meeting between a South Korean business association and President Prabowo Subianto.The planned increase is equal to more than 10 per cent of the $15.4 billion that Airlangga said South Korean firms had already invested in Southeast Asia’s largest economy, said Airlangga. Prabowo’s office said he met with more than a dozen South Korean companies that have invested in Indonesia, including holding company Lotte Corporation, steel firm POSCO Holdings, glass producer KCC Glass Corporation, and Hyundai Motor…

TOKYO :Japanese supermarket rice prices rose for the 16th straight week and doubled from a year ago, the agriculture ministry said on Monday, despite the government’s release of the staple grain from its emergency stockpile to lower prices. In the week to April 20, prices rose 3 yen from the previous week to average 4,220 yen ($29.38) per 5 kg, the data showed.As Japanese consumers reel from inflationary rice prices, Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba’s government last month took the unprecedented step of releasing stockpiled rice into the market for the purpose of reining in costs. That will continue every month…
