The needling, for Trump, is unending. Former first lady Michelle Obama delivered one of the most memorable lines of the Democratic convention Tuesday night when...

Democrats at their party's convention in Chicago have unveiled an education platform that combines old priorities such as universal pre-K and free community college with slams against Republicans over Project 2025 and “private-school vouchers.” Instead of new policies, Democrats focus their platform on the accomplishments of the past four years and measures such as President...
