During the trial, Murkowski, Collins and Romney joined Senators Richard Burr (R-NC), Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Ben Sasse (R-NE) and Pat Toomey (R-PA) along with all 48 Democrats and two independents in finding Trump guilty of inciting the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Among those seven Republicans who voted to convict the former president, five have now received censures from GOP groups in the states they represent. On Wednesday, Murkowski became the latest to be hit with a formal rebuke, after Republican officials in at least five Alaska state House districts approved resolutions to censure her, the Anchorage Daily News reported....

In the most comprehensive exhibit of pearls ever mounted, the American Museum of Natural History in New York explores the history, science and lore of the only gems that come from living creatures. Dedicated “to deepened cultural understanding and peaceful co-existence” in the wake of the terrorist attacks, the show–through April 14 of next year–suffered some blowback from Sept. 11. The Kremlin withheld a couple of pieces, the Louvre decided not to send Empress Josephine’s pearl earrings and scrambled flight schedules delayed the arrival of some pieces (Liz Taylor’s 10-gram, pear-shaped La Peregrina arrived just in time)....

With her new album, “No Ways Tired,” released through Nonesuch’s acclaimed American Explorer Series, it’s Bass’s turn to save you. Combining churchly elements like organ and choir with snazzy sax solos and Bass’s own barrelbouse blues piano, “No Ways Tired” is the kind of gospel that might seriously convert people: it needs to be believed to be heard. Bass’s voice leaps and exults through traditional hymns (“You Don’t Know What the Lord Told Me”), bursting with a spirit that couldn’t come from this world....

My husband was excited; he is already a father to a precocious 9-year-old boy, so his plan was different from mine from the start. Though I understand teenagers, 9 is an age that thoroughly confuses me. The word “infant” isn’t even fathomable. But as the days passed, I started seeing women with ripe bellies everywhere I went, women I’d never noticed before. I started seeing myself. So I did what’s required....

As usual, Rebecca wiped the food off her face and reached out for a hug. After checking for missing teeth, my wife and I hugged her as she fought off the tears and smiled.

In a news release announcing the launch of the organization, called Advancing American Freedom, Pence said Americans enjoyed “unprecedented prosperity” during Trump’s years in office but said the policies put in place to make that prosperity possible are now “under attack” by President Joe Biden’s administration and those on the “radical Left.” The organization listed several well-known conservative voices—including former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former Trump advisers Kellyanne Conway and Larry Kudlow—as members of its advisory board....

Speaking on Fox News Radio’s Brian Kilmeade Show on Tuesday, Pompeo also repeated the disputed theory that the COVID-19 outbreak began in a laboratory in the central Chinese city of Wuhan. “I think about it a lot,” the former secretary said when asked about the fact that the world was still no closer to learning the true origins of the pandemic. “There is increasing evidence that this did in fact come from the laboratory, although we don’t know that for sure,” Pompeo said while calling the disease the “Wuhan Virus....

Wideout DeMarcus Ayers made one catch and drew a crucial pass-interference penalty. Defensive lineman Johnny Maxey was in for 20 snaps. Each rookie was in his first NFL game. If Tomlin could play those two and 20 like them Sunday afternoon against the Browns, he might. But as he pointed out, he doesn’t have a training camp roster. So even if Tomlin wanted to rest every starter in what has become an entirely meaningless game — the Steelers have clinched a playoff berth and are locked into the No....
