It is tempting to dismiss the European Parliament elections as the most important elections that don't actually matter.Hundreds of millions of voters in 27 nations will turn out this weekend to vote, but the European Parliament is the least powerful of the European Union's institutions. It is often derided as a talking shop. Its 720 members have limited powers, and while some are rising stars, others are retired politicians or even criminals.But the European Union has never been more important in providing tangible benefits to its citizens, or to the world in being a force for stability and prosperity, since its birth as an economic alliance almost seventy years ago.

Hunter Biden, the president's son, is on trial in federal court for falsely claiming in a gun application that he had not used illicit drugs. Testimonies from his ex-wife and his ex-girlfriends describe his drug-fueled character; searching for his drug dealer on the streets; his large cash withdrawals from the bank.Hallie Biden, his brother Beau's widow who was dating him in the fall of 2018 when the gun purchase occurred, spoke of his erratic behavior, possession of rocks of crack and cocaine "the size of ping-pong balls, or bigger, maybe” and how she frantically urged him to go to rehab. She, like Mr. Biden, is in recovery.I write about addiction for the New York Times and have spoken to countless families who have shared harrowing experiences. I'm working on an article a...
