Protestors and human rights activists have traveled to the border in recent weeks to try and help the stranded migrants. But Poland says they are on Belarusian soil and will not allow them to approach Polish territory or request asylum.

So, what will President-elect Joe Biden do in his first week? A pillar of Biden’s campaign was undoing the excess and overreach of Trump’s executive power with his own set of administrative orders, some on day one, others within his first 100 days.

The Chicago outfielder is reportedly doing fine, and Eaton’s X-rays have come back negative. Still, heading into a wall like that you have to wonder about his periphery. Is it the glasses? The green fence blending in with the stands? Eaton is just 5-8 so it’s any wonder if he would be able to even clear the fence had he timed his jump correctly. In any case, the 25-year-old product out of Miami of Ohio is no stranger to banging into the wall, albeit sometimes with much better results....

Laxalt is campaigning against Senator Catherine Cortez Masto, a Democrat elected in 2016. The state gave Democrats narrow victories in recent election cycles—President Joe Biden won by about 2.4 percentage points—but Cortez Masto is seen as the most vulnerable Senate Democrat ahead of the November 8 midterm elections. Laxalt, who was the state attorney general from 2015 to 2019 and unsuccessfully ran for governor in 2018, emerged as a bright spot for the GOP....

Suddenly it’s nearly impossible to pass a Spanish bookstore, movie theater or museum without being reminded of the bloody conflict. Last summer the Prado put on its first exhibition related to the Spanish Civil War, a collection of photographs depicting efforts to protect Spanish masterpieces from the bombs and mayhem of urban fighting. “The Sleeping Voice,” by Dulche Cachon, a book about women from the left who were imprisoned by Franco, quickly made the best-seller list....
