Donald Trump’s impressive 2024 victory, sweeping in a Republican Congress on his coattails, has prompted much talk about “realignment”—evidence of the arrival of a new, sustainable MAGA coalition in American politics, the triumph of working-class populism, or a widespread “turn to the right.” [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] Many of the same commentators touted the 2020 results as a repudiation of Trumpism, a historic Democratic victory that not only brought states like Georgia and Arizona into the party’s column for the first time in a generation, but heralded a new electoral map in American politics.

For people battling prostate cancer, the fight can feel like a contest between the disease and the doctors. Their body is the battlefield, but they may nonetheless feel marginalized—more bystander than active participant. “People sometimes feel like they’ve lost control of their own body,” says Lynda Balneaves, a professor in the University of Manitoba College of Nursing in Winnipeg, who studies the role of complementary and alternative methods (CAM) in cancer care.

PARIS — French President Emmanuel Macron on Friday named centrist ally François Bayrou as prime minister, after a historic parliamentary vote ousted the previous government last week. Bayrou, 73, a crucial partner in Macron’s centrist alliance, has been a well-known figure in French politics for decades.
