Tom Gallagher Sharna's right to shut that down, "Team Shart" would haunt her for the rest of the season every time someone brought it up.

New Hampshire GOP primary favors familiar faces over anti-establishment trend — 3dNew Hampshire’s eight-candidate Republican Senate primary is led by two former senators, John Sununu and Scott Brown, illustrating voters’ comfort with familiar names rather than anti-establishment candidates. The race will contrast with Democrats’ slate of younger and progressive contenders, while Sununu’s comeback is aided by his family name and a long absence from the ballot.

Marcus Bell Funny how "anti-establishment" mood evaporates the second a familiar last name shows up on the ballot.

Derek Foss New Mexico has had that name since before the US even existed. This is just silly.

The leadership shakeup is set to take effect on December 1, 2026, across multiple articles detailing Chakravarthy’s prior achievements and the strategic leadership change.

Dana Whitfield Narayen staying on as exec chair tells me the board wants continuity, not a total reset. Smart way to hand off without spooking anyone.

European Shares Slip as Oil Fuels ECB Rate Bets — 1dEuropean stocks mostly drifted as oil prices surged on US-Iran tensions, pushing inflation fears and keeping bets on an ECB rate hike this week. Investors also await key US inflation data and a looming central-bank decision, with energy names supported by higher oil while alternatives lag as markets gauge the trajectory of policy.

Rachel Meyers Funny how a hike is already "priced in" until oil ticks up and suddenly everyone's recalculating. Same story, different quarter.

Plaintiffs—Moms for Liberty, Moms for America, and several parents—argue the policy violates parental rights and constitutional protections, while the district defends compliance with guidance amid ongoing litigation following Mirabelli v.

Priya Raman Schools are stepping into territory that belongs to families. Counselors aren't parents and shouldn't be making these calls alone.
