America needs more power plants, pipelines, mines and transmission lines. Washington can turn building them into years of paperwork, litigation and uncertainty over whether an approval will survive the next administration. A bipartisan permitting proposal would shorten legal challenges and strengthen protections when government reverses course. Even clean-energy advocates whose projects are trapped in the system have joined the push for reform. Families paying higher bills have a direct stake in the outcome: more construction can mean more supply and lower costs. Congress now has a chance to get projects moving.

Britain’s Conservatives survived the humiliation of Suez, changed leaders and won a larger majority three years later. Their recovery began with ending the adventure, repairing alliances and concentrating on prosperity at home. That history presents Republicans and J.D. Vance with an uncomfortable lesson: defending every decision can trap a party inside a war long after voters have lost patience. A credible recovery requires an answer about where the Iran war ends and what follows. Peace abroad and better living conditions at home helped Britain’s right recover. Republicans have to decide whether they can change course.

France’s riots expose a country struggling to keep order while paying for promises it can barely afford. Expensive energy, heavy debt, failed integration and collapsing confidence in political leaders have created a crisis that reaches far beyond the streets. Similar pressures across Europe are giving National Rally, Germany’s AfD and other insurgent parties an opening. Taking power would leave them with an enormous cleanup: weak growth, divided communities and welfare commitments governments have spent years avoiding. Europe’s establishment is losing credibility. Its challengers will have to prove they can repair what it has left behind.

A Nigerian man cooked meals for a terrorist group’s leaders for six months. He says he learned who they were after taking the job, was forced to remain and eventually escaped. An appeals court ruled that his cooking did not qualify as material support for terrorism; the Supreme Court will now review that decision. Feeding an armed group’s leadership keeps its operations running, this argument contends. His account of captivity deserves serious consideration, but his coercion claim remains unresolved. The Court must decide how the law treats substantial help given to terrorists, including help supplied without a weapon in hand.
