“I happen to believe that we have to tell the oil companies to stop ripping off the American people, and if they don’t, we should impose a windfall profits tax on them,” he added.

The pressing global need to slash emissions in the face of a growing climate crisis is driving renewed interest in nuclear power — and few places more so than in Canada's oilsands.

Is there a better way to do so than by literally filling my vagina with sparkles?

A pet cat who spent a harrowing three weeks on the loose in the Boston Logan International Airport has finally been captured and is set to be reunited with her family.

"Obergefell, like Roe v. Wade, ignored two centuries of our nation's history," the Republican senator said. This is not a proper way to wake up, on a Sunday but that's life in this shit hole theocracy.

Fuelled by hype and hysteria, the market in bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies went from an obscure niche to a $3tn industry. Then the house of cards collapsed.

Ricky Martin is reportedly facing 50 years behind bars in his domestic violence case, where the alleged victim is his 21-year-old nephew.

A Google executive said the company's data shows TikTok and Instagram are a threat to Google Search with Gen Z, and Google is working to keep up.

In the end, having to negotiate with a coal baron on transitioning away from fossil fuels was not the most reliable option. As you and the rest of the world know by now, Joe Manchin walked away from adding climate measures or tax increases to any party-line reconciliation package. What was once a transformative, multitrillion-dollar agenda to face numerous long-standing crises in domestic policy has narrowed to an exceptionally narrow drug price reform, the main part of which—price negotiation in Medicare—doesn’t kick in until 2026, two years after the next presidential election, and a two-year extension on ACA subsidies that were set to expire at the end of the year. Eighteen months of fruitless negotiation has come down to that. There’s going to be a ton to say about this in the coming days, and we’re certainly going to say it. We’re going to note that progressives who said that the social-spending and infrastructure plans had to be tied together or else the social spending wouldn’t happen were proven entirely correct. We’re going to reinforce that Manchin was never a viable partner in this enterprise, something that we’ve known for at least this entire year. We’re going to note that the Trump tax cuts—opposed unanimously by every Democrat in or out of Congress—are now looking incredibly likely to become permanent, without much of a fight. We’re going to try and draw lessons out of the policy and governance structures of the Democratic Party that led to this utter failure. We’re going to once again highlight, as we have for three years, the importance of executive action as the main path forward for progress in Washington. (The states are a different matter, and we’ll talk about that, too.)

Researchers said that for people aged between 15 and 39, the recommended amount of alcohol that could be consumed before risking their health was “a little more than one-tenth of a standard drink.”

This arrangement is gigantically dispiriting, because it reduces the range of political opinions I can responsibly express to a biennial yes/no vote on the Republican agenda. Even in this insipid game the odds are against me, thanks to gerrymandering and the inherent distortions of a senators-per-state system operating in a country that increasingly concentrates its population in cities, but as long as we all pull together in a herculean effort at the polls, we can make sure that nothing happens.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Infamous drug lord Rafael Caro Quintero, who was behind the killing of a U.S. DEA agent in 1985, was captured Friday by Mexican forces nearly a decade after walking out of a Mexican prison and returning to drug trafficking, according to the Mexico's navy.

Palisades Media Group, which serves as Netflix’s advertising agency, suddenly informed staff Friday the company would be closed permanently at day’s end, individuals with knowledge of the situation told TheWrap. Employees received a company-wide email that it was shuttering at close of business, a fraught development for Netflix, which is just beginning the second phase of its Emmy campaigns. At Palisades, the news came as a shock as the atmosphere had been business-as-usual, though the company has been falling behind in payments to vendors, according to knowledgable individuals. “They were closed because they’re embezzling and the FBI raided them,” a rival agency employee told TheWrap.

The White House is abandoning plans to nominate a Kentucky lawyer who opposes abortion rights and is backed by Senator Mitch McConnell to a federal court seat, citing opposition from Senator Rand Paul, Mr. McConnell’s home-state colleague.

Glenn Kessler, who writes the “Fact Checker” column, had a bizarre exchange with a reader after casting doubt on the accurate story of a 10-year-old who had been raped.

While street preachers boomed warnings of hellfire nearby, a throng of reporters surrounded Pink House Defender Kim Gibson in the Jackson Women’s Health Clinic’s driveway on June 24, 2022. Minutes earlier, the U.S. Supreme Court had rejected the clinic’s attempt to block a 15-week Mississippi abortion ban, overturning Roe v. Wade and dooming the Pink House to close. “What’s your reaction to the ruling from the Supreme Court?” a male reporter asked. “I’m thrilled, can’t you tell?” she said, narrowing her eyes behind a pair of Ray-Bans. “… What do you think? We’re looking at suffering and death, we are looking at suffering and death. How do you think we should feel?”

The deserted vessel was found ashore near Koh Tang Island in Cambodia after being blown by strong winds, and three lifejackets were discarded on rocks just 50 metres from the wreckage

“The only thing we are on Earth for is to reproduce,” patriarch Errol Musk has declared.

More than a century ago, the naturalist John Muir took President Theodore Roosevelt to camp beneath an ancient, gnarled tree in Yosemite National Park. The tree, known as the Grizzly Giant, was more than 2,000 years old, stood more than 200 feet tall and spread branches that were several feet in diameter. Soon after, Roosevelt, who described the tree and its surrounding grove as a “temple,” extended federal protections for the park in the Sierra Nevada of California. In the past several days, however, the Grizzly Giant has been threatened by the Washburn fire, which has torn through more than 3,700 acres of brush and timber in the southern part of the national park, and prompted evacuation orders for the tourist-driven community of Wawona, Calif. “We have to go to the ends of the earth to protect this tree,” said Garrett Dickman, a forest ecologist with Yosemite National Park, who is helping to manage the efforts to protect the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias, the largest and most popular of the park’s three clusters with more than 500 mature trees. In a 15-month period between 2020 and 2021, an estimated 13 to 19 percent of the world’s population of sequoia trees were killed or mortally wounded, according to a report by the National Park Service. The number is especially staggering, scientists say, given how few died in the preceding centuries. “The past couple years have been a real wake-up,” he added. “We never thought the giant sequoias would really burn.”
