After a week that brought tough economic news and polling showing Americans’ views of the economy are still sour, most say President Trump has focused too much on tariffs — which they believe will end up raising prices — and not enough on lowering prices. This has Americans collectively skeptical right now about the ability of Mr. Trump’s policies to make them financially better off, a sentiment that was key to the success of his 2024 campaign.Yet that’s balanced out for Mr. Trump today by continued majority approval on immigration and on his deportation program, specifically. That comes especially — but not exclusively…

As early as the 19th-century Gold Rush, when miners arrived on riverboats to stock up with supplies before heading into the mountains, Sacramento’s reputation has been more way station than destination.It’s the place for a bathroom break on the way to Lake Tahoe. It’s a career stop, for ambitious politicians, on the way to Washington. And for millions of Californians, it’s a civics-lesson pit-stop on the way to the rest of their lives: the last time they came to Sacramento was for that fourth-grade field trip to the State Capitol.So it’s fitting that as the Sacramento area finally gets a…

The latest forced evacuation orders come as Israel ramps up its military operation in Gaza after breaking the ceasefire.Israel has announced new forced evacuation orders for Rafah in southern Gaza, as the military said it plans to expand its renewed assault on the enclave.

Two special congressional elections on Tuesday in Florida were supposed to have been cakewalks for the Republican Party. Instead, one contest has turned into the unlikely scene of a multimillion-dollar spending brawl — and of pre-election finger-pointing on the right over how the race ever became a race at all.The seat, in Florida’s Sixth Congressional District, was most recently occupied by Michael Waltz, who resigned to serve as President Trump’s national security adviser and who has found himself in the middle of the Signal-leak episode. It was not remotely competitive last fall when Mr. Waltz coasted to victory by 33…

NEW YORK — The New York Yankees’ bats were certainly alive during Saturday’s 20-9 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. And some of them looked a bit different than usual — though the league says they’re legal.Early in the game, in which the team hit a franchise-record nine home runs, YES Network’s play-by-play broadcaster Michael Kay mentioned that several Yankees players were using newly designed bats, including shortstop Anthony Volpe and second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr., who both homered in the game. These bats feature a barrel closer to the hands rather than near the end of the bat, which is the…
