Back in 1942, Congress last officially declared war. Since then, presidents have sent troops overseas over 100 times without that same approval. The Constitution says Congress should handle war declarations, but presidents argue they can act fast when they see a threat. A 1973 law tried to fix this
Backlash delivered exactly what wrestling needs when big shows fall short. While WrestleMania sometimes struggles to keep up quality, this smaller event brought sharp action and moved important storylines forward. Two rising stars won matches, another performer grew stronger despite losing, and a ne
Back in the 1990s, Gap jeans were as common as sneakers on a school bus. The brand’s plain but durable pants were everywhere—malls, school halls, TV screens. Then shopping centers started emptying out, and Gap’s minimalist look lost some of its glow. Instead of sticking to what once worked, the comp
Back in the 1970s, China was struggling to feed its people. Factories were rare, and most citizens survived on government-assigned housing with little income.

Back in February, a government group decided to check if a well-known morning chat show broke some old rules about fair play. The problem started when a politician running for office in Texas showed up on that show. Officials say daytime and late-night programs aren’t real news, so they should give
Back in 2009, scientists warned that car and truck fumes were filling the air with dangerous gases. These gases trap heat, make smog worse, and harm people's lungs. The government agreed and set rules to cut down on these emissions. But recently, the EPA decided to ignore those warnings by scrapping
Back in the 1980s, Iran made life difficult for ships moving through the Strait of Hormuz by using mines, missiles, and speedboats. Now, it’s doing it again—but with drones. This time, the stakes feel higher because cheap, easy-to-use drones let Iran reach farther and strike faster than before. The
Back in February 2026, Medpace shocked investors by missing its own book-to-bill target. Instead of reaching the expected 1. 15x ratio, the company reported just 1. 04x.
