Candidates on the verge of winning their parties’ nominations generally change their messaging as part of a so-called pivot. Not Donald Trump. The former president is instead doubling down on often-incendiary rhetoric that offends wide swaths of voters. That’s even as some of his most loyal allies have suggested he shift his focus. His advisers say they are pivoting the mechanics of their campaign. But they're not trying to tell Trump to change what he says. Says one senior adviser, Chris LaCivita... Читать дальше...

Haiti’s government has declared an emergency and a nighttime curfew in a bid to regain control of the streets after an explosion of violence over the weekend in which armed gang members stormed the country’s two biggest prisons. The 72-hour state of emergency went into immediate effect Sunday night as Haiti’s government said it would set out to find the killers, kidnappers and other violent criminals that it said escaped from the prison. At least nine people have been killed since Thursday as gangs step up coordinated attacks in the capital. Читать дальше...

Former President Donald Trump could learn Monday whether the Supreme Court will let him appear on this year’s ballot as he tries to close in on the Republican presidential nomination. The justices are expected to decide at least one case Monday, with signs pointing to resolution of the case from Colorado that threatens to kick Trump off some state ballots because of his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss. Any opinions will post on the court’s website beginning just after 10 a.m. Eastern time Monday. Читать дальше...

A poll finds that a growing share of U.S. adults doubt that 81-year-old President Joe Biden has the memory and acuity for the job. That means Biden's coming State of the Union address could be something of a real-time audition as he bids for a second term. According to a new survey by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, 63% of U.S. adults say they lack confidence in Biden’s mental capability to serve effectively as president. That's a slight increase from January 2022, when... Читать дальше...

Asian stocks are mostly higher ahead of China’s top annual political gathering, while Japan’s benchmark surpassed the 40,000 level for the first time.

Elsewhere, residents in areas where fires are now out have begun clearing scorched property as losses mount. Читать дальше...

Joe Biden has made more use of immigration “parole” than any American president to bypass an uncooperative Congress, but he’s hardly the first. The presidential power faces a key test in this year's race for the White House. It has been a centerpiece of Biden’s strategy to channel immigrants through legal pathways and discourage illegal crossings. That's a radical difference from his rival Donald Trump. Biden granted parole for at least 1 million temporary visits, which generally include eligibility to work. Читать дальше...
