The polls have barely closed in New Hampshire. The New York Times is one of the sites that will be collecting results throughout the night; check here.
It is okay to be a little shocked that Donald Trump has, in all probability, won a presidential primary. Here are some charts to help you understand why Trumpism is such a BFD.
The interesting race on the Republican side is the fight for second place — with Marco Rubio, John Kasich, Chris Christie, and Jeb Bush(!) all having a fighting chance, the race could be very unsettled going into South Carolina.
For Democrats, the interesting races are the next ones: Nevada (which comes next for Dems) and South Carolina. Because those states are less white than Iowa and New Hampshire, they've been seen as Hillary Clinton's "firewall" to stop Sanders.
Many residents are already fleeing to Turkey (in another wave of the ongoing Syrian refugee crisis). Others are, the UN warns, at risk of starvation if the siege continues.
Assad's forces wouldn't have been able to do this without Russia, which has been bombing the city as part of the offensive — and, according to US officials, killing at least 150 civilians over the weekend.
But as regional expert Michael Hanna points out, that doesn't give the US a whole lot of options: "It’s probably true that the Russians only understand force, but should we go to war with Russia?"
As former administration economist Jared Bernstein writes, though, the budget is useful mostly as a marker for the next Democratic president: Some of the ideas in Bill Clinton's last budget were passed in Obama's first one.
One of the ideas Obama is hoping to plant in Democrats' heads: a system of wage insurance, to help people who are forced to take much lower-paying jobs after their skills become obsolete.
The list of things Obama is willing to cut is arguably even more revealing — including some things congressional Democrats tend to feel they have to go along with, like a program reimbursing local jails for holding unauthorized immigrants.
The US was the first (and, to date, only) country to put a man on the moon. But the Soviet Union beat us to sending a lander there. Few people remember that mission, but it was hugely important.
Barry Goldwater and Richard Nixon usually get credit for Southern racists leaving the Democratic Party. But socialist activists like Bayard Rustin, Michael Harrington, and Max Shachtman deserve credit too.
This piece on the firing of Kenneth Zucker, a psychologist who believes that prepubescent kids are too young to know if they're trans, is fascinating, well-reported, and worth reading regardless of what you think of Zucker's position.
"Now she’s sobbing, clutching her friend—who didn’t puke in front of cops and gets to stay. 'I won’t do it,' the friend swears. 'I won’t see Fetty Wap without you, I promise.'"
"Let’s put it this way: Imagine if Barack and Michelle Obama joined the board of a charity you’re involved in. You’d be happy to have such people in your community. Could you say that comfortably about Ted Cruz?"
