Balenciaga has faced criticism over the past several days regarding images shown on its website that included toddlers holding the company’s teddy bear handbags. The stuffed toys appeared to be dressed in bondage gear, including fishnet shirts and studded leather harnesses and collars. On Sunday, reality TV star and businesswoman Kardashian, 42, took to Twitter to say she was “disgusted” and “shaken” by the controversial pictures. “I have been quiet for the past few days, not because I haven’t been disgusted and outraged by the recent Balenciaga campaigns, but because I wanted an opportunity to speak to its team to understand for myself how this could have happened,” she began the Twitter thread....

The timing couldn’t be better. Hispanic voting power was on every Democratic presidential contender’s mind as they assembled in Albuquerque on Thursday evening for the first of six debates organized by the Democratic National Committee. It’s no accident that the DNC chose New Mexico to kick off the campaign season. Once a solidly Republican state, it is now a swing state because of its rapidly growing Hispanic population. Its new Democratic governor, Bill Richardson, who served in the Clinton administration as ambassador to the United Nations and as Energy secretary, is on everybody’s short list as a potential vice president–in large part because he is Hispanic....

Reporters wanted to know why he made the film. “Aren’t you preaching to the choir?” one asked, noting the decidedly Democratic leanings of the crowd. (One of the film’s distributors joked at the screening that the only Republicans in the audience would be undercover agents from the Republican National Committee.) Moore recalled the question as he took the stage to welcome the audience. “First of all, it’s good to give the choir something to sing,” he said....

Television images canvassing Republican headquarters on election night showed so few black faces that a casual viewer could easily assume the GOP is a white-people’s party. Conversely, there is no Democratic Party without an energized black base, a fact of political life that too many Democrats would rather not confront. Race drove last weekend’s runoff election in Louisiana. GOP flyers distributed in black areas sought to depress turnout with the rumor, “If the weather’s bad, don’t worry, you can vote on Tuesday....

There is another chapter to Kerry’s war history that Republicans are examining, and that is his leadership in 1971 of Vietnam Veterans Against the War. Some GOP strategists envision television ads linking Kerry with Jane Fonda in order to undermine his credentials as a decorated war veteran. Highlighting Kerry’s antiwar activism is a risky strategy for the Republicans. To quote Kerry, who quotes the president: “Bring it on.” If the election turns into a debate over war records, Bush can’t win....

“A lot of the officers have in mind the possibility of this being a recurring annual or every four-year thing, which is why officers like myself are being outspoken about it, because we don’t want to go through this again,” Gonell said during an NPR interview published Thursday. Gonell also criticized the members of Congress who voted against certifying President Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory. Hours after the attack on the Capitol, 147 U....

Even as both offenses struggled, the Cardinals capitalized on three San Francisco turnovers for a 33-21 win at Levi’s Stadium. MORE: Week 5 Power Rankings The Cardinals (2-3) scored 17 points off the 49ers turnovers. Drew Stanton got the start at quarterback for the Cardinals with Carson Palmer dealing with a concussion.

To be fair, though, on Sunday the Cardinals didn’t look like anybody’s Super Bowl contender, again, or even a playoff contender. Even though they won. “I think a team that was done would’ve folded,” coach Bruce Arians said after his team survived the 49ers 23-20 on a field goal on the last play of the game.

It is the growing dilemma of our age. In an increasingly mobile society, grown children seldom live down the road from Mom and Dad, and often they’re more than a time zone away. Of the estimated 25 million Americans who serve as caregivers to an elder, more than a quarter are doing it long distance. And that number is expected to grow as more baby boomers take on the heart-wrenching task of mothering and fathering their parents....
