Feldman: No Matter What Barack Obama Said, The Nsa Is Still Spying On You

KYIV, Ukraine — North Korean troops recently deployed to help Russia in its war with Ukraine have come under Ukrainian fire, a Kyiv official said Tuesday. It is the first time a Ukrainian official has said that Pyongyang’s units were struck, following a deployment that has given the war a new complexion as it approaches its 1,000-day milestone.

As millions of Americans vote, Harris has people rooting for her from thousands of miles away in a village surrounded by rice paddies and coconut trees, where her mother’s family has ancestral ties.

On January 20, 2025, the President-elect is expected to follow a tradition: to have coffee at the White House with the outgoing President before riding in a motorcade down Pennsylvania Avenue for the inaugural ceremony at noon. If that person is Donald Trump, there will be a mass of MAGA diehards assembled on the National Mall with their own expectations: that he deliver on his campaign pledge to smash our system of government and upend Official Washington.

Whether Democratic candidate Vice President Kamala Harris or her Republican challenger former President Donald Trump is elected the 47th President of the United States is widely expected to come down to seven key swing states—Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Nevada—as Harris and Trump race to the magic number of 270 electoral votes (a simple majority) in the Electoral College.
