Putin signed decrees on Monday recognizing the self-proclaimed People’s Republic of Luhansk and People’s Republic of Donetsk in eastern Ukraine—the move was later approved by the Russian Duma....

A wide swath of mainly progressive Jewish-American organizations and activist leaders ridiculed the Republican former New York City mayor, who was raised Catholic by Italian-American parents, for denigrating the left-wing financier Soros as less Jewish than himself.

It was the site of the ghetto during the Nazi occupation of Poland, and it’s likely that the man may have been hiding when Nazis razed the area to the ground to quash a 1943 uprising. “We are here as the family for a person we don’t know,” Poland’s chief rabbi, Michael Schudrich, said at the burial of the remains, which were wrapped in a white cloth....

The canary in the coal mine is a practice that dates back to the early 1900s. British miners utilized the sensitive and vulnerable canary to detect high levels of carbon monoxide and toxic fumes.
