Life Charming and Inspiring Stories from Hillary Clinton’s Oldest Supporters
Some women born before women in the United States got the right to vote, in 1920, are now casting their votes for Hillary Rodham Clinton. Like the symbolism Michelle Obama spoke of about being a black family waking up in a White House built by slaves each morning, the thought of women born into a…

Community Why the U.S. Presidential Election Matters for Israel’s Environment
Israelis are interested in the U.S. presidential election. But who ends up in the White House does not only impact the most obvious foreign policy initiatives – military aid, the future of the Iran nuclear deal, a potential two-state solution for Israelis and Palestinians.

News Gloria Steinem: Electing Hillary Clinton Won’t End Sexism

Life When Trump was on ‘The Nanny’
As I’ve told all who will listen, the strangest thing about this election, to me, has been less that my country might be going totalitarian (I’ve read enough Hannah Arendt to know that such things, unfortunately, happen) as who that would-be totalitarian leader is.

Life Megyn Kelly isn’t ‘Fascinated With Sex.’ Trump-Surrogate Newt Gingrich Might Be.
The problem, Americans had heard for years, was that we, unlike our more sophisticated counterparts across the Atlantic, expected puritanical saintliness from our politicians. Why couldn’t we just (tosses neck-scarf) look the other way, and focus on our leaders’ ability to do the job? And then, 2016 happened. All of a sudden, we have a…

Donald Trump’s taped boast about assaulting women — and later assertions from a dozen women that he acted as he said — have stirred a hornet’s nest of sexual harassment and assault allegations. For two decades, Jewish attorney Gloria Allred has been at the center of that discussion, representing clients who have accused powerful men…
