Authorities have charged a man with lurking near the New York City home of an Iranian dissident with an assault rifle. The Republican Party's embrace of Donald Trump's election lies will be tested in Arizona. Voters are choosing between candidates who say they wouldn't have certified the results of the 2020 campaign and those who argue it's time to move on. And there’s nothing more annoying than getting a stain on a piece of clothing- especially if it’s new.
