This November, voters in rural Perry County, Mo., will face a ballot with candidates for a bevy of local offices: state senator, state representative and circuit judge; two county commissioners, sheriff and many more. What they won’t face is a choice. Each of the 17 down-ballot races in Perry County has only one candidate.

Have the worst fears of the Berliner establishment finally come to pass? As soon as the curtain fell on Sunday’s elections in Thuringia and Saxony, the predictable reactions took centre stage. The Alternative für Deutschland’s (AfD) strong showing in the eastern states was seen as a threat to both the nation’s democracy and economy. Vladimir Putin was the real winner.

President Biden introduced a “potential marriage penalty” into the tax system when he ordered the IRS to conduct more audits of higher-income Americans, the agency’s inspector general said. In persuading Congress to allocate tens of billions of dollars for the tax agency to conduct audits, Mr. Biden promised that agents would focus on those with annual incomes of $400,000 or more.

Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba resigned on Wednesday amid a major government reshuffle that could see half of the cabinet changed 30 months into the Russian invasion. Kuleba’s resignation is the latest in a series of high-profile departures, which have so far included Oleksandr Kamyshin, who oversaw weapons production, and the justice, environmental, and reintegration ministers. In an evening address on Tuesday, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the government “needed to be...
