WASHINGTON (AP) — The House of Representatives is entering uncharted territory after a far-right effort to remove fellow Republican Kevin McCarthy from the speakership succeeded thanks to support from Democrats.

Yes, miraculously, they found her seemingly unharmed, hidden in a cupboard in a Ballston Spa-area residence. Like all of us, I exhaled. Charlotte’s disappearance had unnerved our region since our phones buzzed with the Amber Alert Sunday morning, asking us to do all we could to help. Charlotte’s case struck close to home for many reasons. For one, she vanished from the…
