| The other Mueller finding: How one state addresses Russian hacking risk Posted: 25 Apr 2019 02:15 PM PDT ![The other Mueller finding: How one state addresses Russian hacking risk]( "The other Mueller finding: How one state addresses Russian hacking risk") Amid all the debate over whether the Mueller report incriminates or exonerates President Donald Trump, one salient point is being largely overlooked: Russia interfered in the 2016 election to undermine American democracy as a whole. The intent of Russian meddling was to sow discord in the U.S. political system, said special counsel Robert Mueller in his report to the U.S. Justice Department. "I guarantee you that Russia is working on hacking this election right now," says Seth Moulton, a decorated Marine and Democratic congressman from Massachusetts who entered the presidential race this week on promises to bolster national security and restore America's moral authority in the world.

| By playing Korean peacemaker, Putin seeks to revive Russia’s Far East Posted: 25 Apr 2019 01:44 PM PDT ![By playing Korean peacemaker, Putin seeks to revive Russia's Far East]( "By playing Korean peacemaker, Putin seeks to revive Russia's Far East") President Vladimir Putin flew from his Kremlin control center across seven time zones of Russian territory to play host – on his own home turf – to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in the Pacific port of Vladivostok on Thursday. With nuclear talks between the United States and North Korea in at least temporary disarray since they broke down in Hanoi two months ago, Mr. Putin sees an opportunity to insert Russia into the peace process for the first time since the Group of Six negotiations on the Korean crisis, of which Russia was a member, fell apart almost a decade ago. President Donald Trump raised expectations with his extraordinary outreach to the North Korean leader, but after the Hanoi debacle it may now seem to Mr. Kim that he needs to gather a few friends into his corner before facing Mr. Trump again.

| As Joe Biden jumps in, the ‘front-runner’ concept gets scrambled Posted: 25 Apr 2019 12:49 PM PDT ![As Joe Biden jumps in, the 'front-runner' concept gets scrambled]( "As Joe Biden jumps in, the 'front-runner' concept gets scrambled") The speculation over whether or not former Vice President Joe Biden would join the crowded 2020 Democratic primary field officially ended Thursday when he released a video declaring his bid for president. The announcement was almost a formality. From the start of the campaign cycle, the press has treated Mr. Biden – a five-term U.S. senator and popular two-term vice president – as though he were already running.

| ‘Mr. Game 7’ scores again: The everyman at helm of Carolina Hurricanes Posted: 25 Apr 2019 12:33 PM PDT !['Mr. Game 7' scores again: The everyman at helm of Carolina Hurricanes]( "'Mr. Game 7' scores again: The everyman at helm of Carolina Hurricanes") My 20-something nephew says he saw Justin Williams, the captain of the Carolina Hurricanes hockey club, on a plane on the way home to Raleigh, North Carolina, before this season. On Wednesday, now sporting stubble and a game-day suit, the player known as "Mr. Game 7" laced up in another elimination match-up in Round 1 of the Stanley Cup playoffs as his wet-behind-the-ears Hurricanes squad faced the defending Stanley Cup champion Washington Capitals, all but three of whom had Game 7 experience. Mr. Williams has more Game 7 points – 15 – than any other player in the history of the game.
