Despite the many crises that have battered the small nation, Christians continue to enjoy religious freedom and significant political influence. Pope Leo XIV's visit to Lebanon over the weekend is a recognition of the importance of Lebanon's religious pluralism and a message to Christians not to abandon the region. In Iraq, large numbers of Christians fled after the U.S.-led invasion in 2003 and the rise of the Islamic State group that followed. A decade later, in 2014, IS declared a caliphate in large parts of Iraq and Syria leading to an exodus by Christians as well as followers of other religions. IS blew up churches in areas they once controlled in Syria and Iraq and confiscated many Christians' property. A recent church bombing in Damascus this year made some Christians who stayed in Syria consider leaving....

Federal prosecutors stumbled on the new avenue to charge crime in the nation's capital while seeking to follow through on President Trump's crackdown in Washington. A federal judge ruled on Nov. 20 that because of the complexities of local laws in the District of Columbia, judges in Federal District Court in Washington must accept indictments for federal crimes that prosecutors secured from a local grand jury. The decision appeared to grant prosecutors a new option amid an aggressive push to increase prosecutions for federal felonies. The ruling from James E. Boasberg, the chief judge of the Federal District Court, came after federal prosecutors used a local grand jury convened in…...

"I was copying and pasting all of my tasks into an AI agent such as Cursor or Claude Code, and I would let it do the work," Olsen told Business Insider. "So instead of having to work about 40 hours a week, I would work around 20 hours." Olsen's quiet use of AI to get ahead highlights a fleeting period of technological ambiguity unfolding in workplaces across the globe.
