Benjamin Netanyahu: Israel's longest-serving PM fighting for survival

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's consummate political survivor, faces the fight of his life in Tuesday's election as he tries to convince voters he is still the only candidate capable of keeping them safe. In 1996, in the first election after the assassination of peace-negotiating Yitzhak Rabin, Netanyahu pulled off an upset victory by the tiniest of margins and at age 46 became the youngest prime minister in Israeli history.

Court rejects DOJ's emergency bid to separate Calif. ballots over noncitizen claims

A federal appeals court has rejected the Trump administration's late-breaking effort to force California to separate mail-in ballots from 20,000 purported noncitizens. A 2-1 ruling from a panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals concluded that the Justice Department improperly circumvented a lower-court judge who had scheduled a hearing on the matter on Tuesday and moved too slowly to seek emergency relief. [T]he United States failed to allow the district court adequate opportunity to consider its application for a Temporary Restraining Order, the majority wrote. The United States's claimed emergency, at least in part, is a self-constructed one. Judge Mark Bennett, a Trump appointee, joined Judge Gabriel Sanchez, a Biden appointee, in turning down the administration's emergency appeal. Judge Patrick Bumatay, another Trump appointee, dissented and said he would have granted the request. Though the outcome was foreshadowed in a hearing Sunday in which the judges appeared skeptical of their power to take up the Trump administration's case, the dissent by Bumatay created a surprising split. Bumatay said the Trump administration's view that a federal criminal law barring voting by noncitizens superseded California's election procedures would likely prevail in the end, and that every day without relief from the courts increased the likelihood that noncitizens' votes would be improperly counted in the midterm elections. The questiondoes the federal government have the power to stop this potential attack on the integrity of our elections? Bumatay wrote. Under both federal law and the Constitution, the answer must be yes. Simply, the federal government has a sovereign interest in safeguarding federal elections and ensuring that the votes of noncitizens do not undermine our electoral results. In a separate concurrence, Bennett rebutted Bumatay's position, arguing that the Justice Department would likely fail on the substance of its lawsuit. Bennett said the Trump administration has offered no workable plan of any kind as to how the remedy it seeks could be accomplished in practice without potential catastrophic consequences to California's ongoing election.

Trump administration attempting to prosecute former FBI Director James Comey again

WASHINGTON (AP) The Trump administration is attempting to prosecute James Comey for what it calls a decade-old leak of classified information, an effort the former FBI director's lawyers immediately dismissed as invalid and outside the time limit for when the Justice Department can file a case. The allegations from the Justice Department came in documents unsealed Monday in federal court in Washington that shed light on a fight that has played out behind closed doors over the last month. It comes as prosecutors try to bring what would be the third criminal case against Comey, a longtime critic and foe of President Donald Trump, since the Republican returned to the White House last year. Well, theyre back again, Comey said in a video statement released after the documents dropped. It would almost be funny if it weren't such an appalling abuse of the Department of Justice one that we cannot become numb to. Nothings changed with me; Im still innocent, Im still not afraid of these people and I still believe in an independent federal judiciary. The Justice Department, for its part, said it had filed what's known as a criminal information to extend the 10-year statute of limitations for bringing a case. Filing a criminal information to toll the statute of limitations is a widely recognized practice in federal court and has been approved by multiple Circuit Courts of Appeals. This is an ongoing criminal investigation, and we will not comment further, a department spokesperson said. Comey was the FBI director when Trump took office in 2017, having been appointed by then-President Barack Obama, a Democrat, and serving before that as a senior Justice Department official in President George W. Bushs Republican administration. But the relationship was strained from the start, including after Comey resisted a request by Trump at a private dinner to pledge his personal loyalty to the president -- an overture that so unnerved the FBI director that he documented it in a contemporaneous memorandum. Trump fired Comey in May 2017 amid an FBI investigation into potential ties between Russia and Trumps campaign. That inquiry, later taken over by special counsel Robert Mueller, found that while Russia interfered in the 2016 election and the Trump team welcomed the help, there was insufficient evidence to prove a criminal collaboration.

Catholic bishop says recent White House visit was 'exploited' for political purposes

President Donald Trump prays during a roundtable discussion at the Trump National Doral Miami resort in Miami, Florida, on Oct. 22, 2024. Chandan KannaGetty Images A video of Catholic bishops praying around President Donald Trump during a meeting at the White House last week has sparked debate, with some bishops claiming their attendance was exploited for political purposes less than two weeks before the midterm elections . The 12 clergymen joined Trump on Thursday in the Oval Office, for what Archbishop Jeffrey Grob of Milwaukee has said was intended to be a private meeting to discuss matters such as immigration enforcement, religious worker visas, and human dignity. But in a public apology issued Sunday, Grob expressed deep regret over the meeting that he suggested was used as a political photo opportunity after White House officials shared images and footage of a moment of prayer. The video , which Grob claims was posted without the bishops consent, has been viewed over 1.8 million times on X alone. Grob said he had received many questions over the encounter and wanted to emphasize that the meeting was in no way an endorsement of the President, his policies, or his party. He said his invite to the meeting had been extended by Heritage Foundation, the think tank behind the conservative policy playbook Project 2025, and that he had been informed ahead of time there may be an opportunity to pray privately with the President. Several photos were taken and we were ushered out [after the prayer]. Unbeknownst to the group of bishops, a video was also taken. But permission for the public distribution or posting of either the video or photos was not given by the bishops, he claimed, insisting the bishops should never have been put in that position by the White House. The White House did not directly respond to questions over whether permission was obtained from the bishops prior to the video and photos being shared. Spokesperson Taylor Rogers told TIME there has never been a greater President for Catholic Americans than President Trump, and his strong record proves it, citing the pardoning of pro-life activists as one such example. https://x.com/MargoMartin47/status/2113343568823894180 Bishop William Joensen of Des Moines also issued a statement suggesting that the meeting had been exploited. Acknowledging that there are many things tied to this present [Trump] Administration that are blatantly at odds with our Catholic faith, Joensen said he attended the gathering as the advance communication he had received indicated that we were to have a conversation and that key officials would be interested in hearing our perspective. None of us bishops were unaware that our meeting was on the cusp of a national election, he said. Yet in no way did any of us intend by our involvement to endorse any political party or any individual candidate. He added: I wish I had been more shrewd and less simple, like those who exploited our meeting for partisan political purposes. I pray I am more prudent and wise going forward, even as I remain resolute in my openness to engaging and praying for political leaders at all levels. Archbishop James Golka of Denver, who led the prayer in the Oval Office, has also addressed the matter after people raised questions over the timing of the video. I understand that many people saw the video, posted by the Administration twelve days before an election, as an endorsement. That was never my intention, Golka told Denver Catholic magazine . The bishops of the United States teach that the Church cannot champion any candidate or party. I hold to that. He continued: Ive had a lot of people, really good friends, ask me, What were you doing? Why did you do that? I just answer: I was being a Catholic priest. We pray for people.' Other clergymen in attendance included the former Archbishop of Kansas City Joseph Naumann. In a statement to TIME, his successor,Archbishop Shawn McKnight, said Naumanns presence at the White House was in his own individual capacity and that his actions and presence at that event were not on behalf of, or representative of, myself or the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas. A separate statement from Archbishop Emeritus Naumanns office said of the event: The bishops were assured that no photographs would be made public. They came to have a discussion on important policy matters. As Catholic bishops, they pray with everyone, but do not endorse candidates or political parties. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), meanwhile, has distanced itself from the gathering. A spokesperson for the group told TIME that the meeting was not organized by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and emphasized it was not affiliated in any way. Trump described the meeting as really good when speaking with reporters Friday, calling the bishops a nice group of people who mostly prayed in the Oval Office. Amid the online discourse, White House Faith Office director Jenny Korn defended the gathering, describing it as not politics, but policy in action ending with meaningful prayer with, and for, the President. The controversy comes as the Trump Administration seeks to maintain support among Catholic voters ahead of the midterms. According to data circulated by the Pew Research Center in 2025, 20% of U.S. adults describe themselves as Catholic. Trump's approval rating among Catholics has fallen to 30% as of October 2026, compared to the 47% he held when he returned to the White House in January 2025, per the D.C.-based think tank. When asked about the drop in support from Catholic voters in an Oct. 22 interview, Vice President J.D. Vance, a Catholic convert, said that while he believes Catholics, and Americans in general, are not displeased with the direction of the country, he acknowledges that a lot more work needs to happen. The Catholic vote is absolutely critical in electoral politics in the United States, and particularly in the midterms, says David Gibson, director of the Center of Religion and Culture at Fordham University. He adds that while certain religious groups may stick more with a particular political party, the Catholic vote can shift between Republicans and Democrats much more easily than any other religious bloc. Trump won a majority of Catholic voters in the 2024 Presidential election, taking 55% of the Catholic vote to former Vice President Kamala Harris 43%, according to the Pew Research Center. With Republicans attempting to retain control of both chambers of Congress amid tight races , Catholic voters could prove an important voting bloc. Yet the Administration has also faced growing tensions with Pope Leo XIV in recent months. Trump and the first American-born Pope have repeatedly clashed over policy disagreements, particularly Leo's opposition to the Administration's immigration crackdown and the Iran war . The dynamics are shifting. For the past few years, the white Catholic vote was very solidly with the Republicans and with Trump, but Catholics are growing disaffected with him, says Gibson. Now you have an American Pope, from Chicago, the Midwest, and he is widely popular . American Catholics identify with him, and Trump has not ceased picking fights with the Pope, and American Catholics [could be] getting kind of fed up with it. American Catholic leaders have raised concerns over Trump's policies In January, three Catholic Cardinals issued a rare joint statement on the morality of U.S. foreign policy. Archbishop of Chicago Blase Cupich, Archbishop of Washington Robert McElroy, and Archbishop of Newark Joseph Tobin said the events in Venezuela, Ukraine, and Greenland have raised basic questions about the use of military force and the meaning of peace. They argued that the building of just and sustainable peace is being reduced to partisan categories that encourage polarization and destructive policies. The statement bolstered remarks Pope Leo had made earlier that month, in which he warned against a diplomacy based on force. Trumps war with Iran has prompted further warnings from American Catholic leaders. Archbishop of Oklahoma City Paul Coakley, who serves as president of the USCCB, earlier this year joined Pope Leo in urging Trump to pursue a negotiated settlement to the war. The Trump Administrations immigration enforcement practices have also prompted debate. Upon returning to the White House, Trump rescinded previous government guidance that restricted immigration arrests in sensitive locations, including schools, churches, and hospitals. Immigration enforcement efforts subsequently intensified, with arrests reported outside churches, drawing backlash from religious leaders. In November 2025, the USCCB approved a special message opposing indiscriminate mass deportations by an overwhelming vote of 216 in favor and five against. The bishops also raised concerns about detention conditions, family separation, the loss of legal status, and the lack of access to pastoral care. The message was later echoed by other Catholic leaders across the country. In December 2025, the Catholic bishops of Wisconsin issued a statement that expressed strong concern over what they referred to as the indiscriminate nature of the current federal immigration enforcement. Gibson says that although the USCCB used to have a somewhat friendly relationship with the Republican party, particularly on the pursuit to overturn Roe v. Wade , relations have grown increasingly frayed during Trumps return to the White House. He points to the USCCBs argument that the Administration has denied visas for priests and bishops, and the announced cuts to the resettlement of refugees for Catholic charities. However, Catholic bishops have diverse views on politics and the Trump Administration. Last year, Bishop Robert Barron was among those selected to serve on Trump's Religious Liberty Commission. The 2025 National Study of Catholic Priests found that from a sample of 1,164 priests, 30% identified as somewhat to very liberal, 36% as moderate, and 34% as somewhat to very conservative.
