2023 news quiz: Test how well you remember the year
Wait, 2023 is almost over already? How did that happen? Where did the time go? As each year goes by, it’s easy to forget everything that happened, especially in a year as packed with news as this one. The war continued in Ukraine. A new war started in the Middle East. U.S. politicians positioned themselves for the 2024 presidential election. And that barely scratches the surface of everything that happened. Take this quiz to see how well you remember — or how much you forgot.

What the internet is saying about the FBI searching Trump's Mar-a-Lago home
Citing two sources, Peter Schorsch of FloridaPolitics.com reported the execution of a search warrant at Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach.

What the Internet is saying about the leaked draft abortion opinion
A leaked draft of a Supreme Court opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade has sparked a renewed debate about women's rights, the legitimacy of the court and the politics of abortion access.

Others looked at the political consequences, diving into whether this is a good or bad development for Democrats.
The Facts About the Slave Trade
To the Editor: Ethan Kapstein ("The New Global Slave Trade," November/December 2006) offers a picture of human trafficking that is filled with factual errors, dubious claims, and faulty analysis. He has uncritically accepted the main claims of leading anti-prostitution activists and the Bush administration and totally ignored serious scholarly research on both human trafficking and the politics thereof.

Statehouse fight over Indianapolis bus rapid transit is resurrected in a new way
