And once again, the former president is facing a persistent gender gap. It is unusual that both Republican and Democratic presidential campaigns are focused on the same slice of voters, but as the race narrows, both Harris and Trump have found themselves pulling out the…

Nigeria’s unique elephant population, comprising both forest and savanna species, has drastically declined from an estimated 1,200-1,500 to just 300-400 individuals over the past 30 years.

In his Monday column, Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer reported there’s “pessimism in that building on the direction of that team right now.””Part of the issue to this point, as I’ve heard it, is the way…
