“Israel comes to me in my dreams”

From her faux-folksy accent to her bizarre declarations in support of Israel, Haley Stevens’ failed campaign became a political sideshow in the 2026 blue wave cycle even before her career-imploding endorsement of defeated Republican Mike Rogers.

“The song does not ask us to choose between brokenness and praise. It holds both.”

It’s been a decade since the iconic voice of Leonard Cohen fell silent.

Bassist Larry Klein, who first met Cohen at his 1982 wedding to Joni Mitchell, remembers Cohen through perhaps his most famous song, Hallelujah, which has entered the fabric of American life. In it, he sees Cohen’s poetry, humanity, and struggles with the almighty.
