In the end, Christie’s attacks against Trump, whom he called unfit for office, appear to have distanced him from the party’s base. “It’s clear to me tonight that there isn’t a path for me to win the nomination,” Christie said. “I’m going to make sure that in no way do I enable Donald Trump to ever be president of the United States again, and that’s more important than my personal ambition.” Ahead of Christie's announcement, he was caught on a hot microphone candidly discussing two rivals, Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis. “She’s going to get smoked, and you and I both know it,” he said of Haley. “She’s not up to this.” He added of DeSantis: “DeSantis called me, petrified.” Haley and DeSantis, who are virtually tied for a distant second place behind Trump in national polls, will [take the stage tonight in Iowa for a one-on-one debate](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRngaeSP0TjaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vbGl2ZS8yMDI0LzAxLzEwL3VzL3ByZXNpZGVudGlhbC1lbGVjdGlvbi1kZWJhdGUtaW93YT9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9uZV8yMDI0MDExMCZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMTIyMDUmbmw9dGhlLWV2ZW5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE1NDgyNyZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZZ2SIp9lXglCXlIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD). The event will be a prime opportunity for one of them to pull ahead as the party’s clear alternative.

The Houthi attacks, in solidarity with Hamas in its war against Israel, have forced the world’s largest shipping companies to reroute vessels away from the Red Sea, creating delays and extra costs felt around the world through higher prices for oil and other imported goods. The Biden administration said last week it would hold the Houthis responsible for the attacks, a warning that some military officials interpreted as the government possibly considering retaliatory strikes on Houthi territory in Yemen. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who is on a tour through the Middle East, said today that “there’ll be consequences for the Houthis’ actions,” but declined to elaborate.

It is often sold as a dietary supplement and promoted as a mood booster and focus aid. But its effects can be similar to an opioid’s. The F.D.A. recently issued a nationwide alert telling people not to take tianeptine and warning that it had been associated with overdoses and deaths. But the agency’s enforcement powers are sharply limited by law, and many tianeptine products have long skirted labeling requirements.
