Laughing gas could offer rapid-acting treatment for depression, a study has found. Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is a colourless gas that is inhaled and commonly used as a painkiller. The gas, which was banned for recreational use in 2023, can make people feel light-headed, dizzy and relaxed - but heavy use can lead to a vitamin B12 deficiency, which can damage nerves in the spinal cord.
The federal watchdog system at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that oversees complaints about civil rights violations, including in immigration detention, has been gutted so thoroughly that it could be laying the groundwork for the Trump administration to abuse people with impunity, experts warn. Former federal oversight officials have sounded the alarm at the rapid dismantling of guardrails against human rights failures at the same time as the government pushes aggressive immigration enforcement operations.
Natalie Greene, 26, a former aide to Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ), told police and the FBI in July that she and a friend were taking a late-night hike through a nature preserve in New Jersey when three unidentified men attacked her, binding her hands and feet with zip ties. She told the cops one of the men had a gun. Greene's companion on the walk, an unnamed co-conspirator in the case, called 911.
As the tumultuous first year of Donald Trump's second term as president approaches its end, it's difficult to assess his successes and his failures. For one thing, his governing strategy has been all but unprecedented. Most presidents who have just won an election are forced to choose whether they want to cash in their political chips to get big things done or build up political capital for future elections.
When you see SRG agents clearing the street, clearing the way for trucks, let's be clear, the words for that are facilitating ICE deportations. That is a violation of New York City sanctuary law, and it's not tolerable. It is not the job of the NYPD to facilitate the deportations of our neighbors, Lander charged. I really do want to ask the NYPD to remember who you're sworn to protect and serve, and it is the people of New York City.
In a video posted online last week, the lawmakers said, "Right now, the threats to our Constitution aren't just coming from abroad, but from right here at home." "Our laws are clear: You can refuse illegal order. ... You must refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution," they added. US President Donald Trump called the lawmakers' actions "seditious" and "treason."
He has not been summoned to appear in court; he is going as an observer for the pro-immigrant organization American Friends Service Committee. He has been doing this since May, when the first reports of immigrants being seized by ICE agents in immigration courts surfaced, including violent scenes and families being separated by masked officers. In a waiting room where several grave-looking individuals are holding folders filled with papers, the hearing calendar is taped to the wall.
When I was on the floor for those that don't know how it works basically they decided to bring this privilege motion up, and they decided that they wanted to kick [Rep.] Stacey [Plaskett] off of her committees because she had received a donation from Jeffrey Epstein. I had maybe 20 minutes. We researched the FEC, and because I like to speak with specificity, that's kind of what comes with being an attorney.
Listen, you're once again making assumptions, Mullin said. That's not even kind of accurate, I don't believe. All we're doing is talking about an assumption. This isn't been proven. It hasn't been said it was actually true. Mullin added, In this particular situation, you're talking about, once again, is alleged over an anonymous source, which the media is really good about, always trying to name some anonymous source. And then they make a big deal about it as though it's true.
Why would I want to wait six months when I can inject peptides and look like the best version of myself in 30 days? Walker Harrell speaks from behind a screen that pans down to show his body slim, muscular, the kind of physique many can only attain through a strict diet and exercise regime. Except, he tells his audience, hard work isn't how he achieved this. Instead, he says, he has been injecting peptides and by following the link
I am deeply, deeply concerned about what I've been seeingfor almost 10 years now. We see great division in families and friendships broken up over how strongly they feel about Trump, Alpert said. What I'm seeing is symptoms that in many ways mirror other disorders. People are anxious, they're angry, they can't sleep. One person even said she couldn't possibly enjoy a family vacation as long as Trump is out there.
The comic absolutely shredded Duffy on the latest episode of his podcast on Saturday, telling him to shut the f*ck up and fix the unending hell of traveling in the USA before giving out fashion tips. Hey Sean, f*ck you. Hey f* you, by the way. Shut the f*ck up. How about you get the planes in the f*cking sky, you scumbag, Dillon ranted. I'm sick of being lectured by this f*cking government that knows nothing about what's actually happening out there.
Well I was told I was asked by Honduras, many of the people of Honduras, they said it was a Biden setup, responded Trump. I don't mean Biden look, Biden didn't know he was alive, but it was the people that surround the Resolute Desk, surround Biden when he was there, which was about very little time, and the people of Honduras really thought he was set up and it was a terrible thing.
President Donald Trump on Saturday said that the airspace "above and surrounding" Venezuela should be considered as "closed in its entirety," an assertion that raised more questions about the U.S. pressure on Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro. His government accused Trump of making a "colonial threat" and seeking to undermine the South American country's sovereignty. The White House did not respond to questions about what Trump posted on his Truth Social platform,
United States President Donald Trump declared on Saturday that Venezuelan airspace had been closed, without offering any further details, spiking tensions between Washington and Caracas amid months of military build-up in the Caribbean. Venezuela has accused the US of a colonialist threat in Latin America, as millions of people in the country remain on edge. President Nicolas Maduro had earlier warned that Washington was fabricating claims as a pretext to justify military intervention in Venezuela.
Well, let me give advice to any young man that's out there. I'm married now, I have children. But I wasn't married that long ago, I was single, I was on the market. If you are a young man - it's very important in election season - who's looking to impress the ladies, to be the alpha, to be attractive ... The best thing you can do is wear your Trump support on your sleeve. Show that you are a real man. Show that you are not a beta. Right? Be a proud and loud Trump supporter and your dating life will be fantastic.
Are we in the middle of an AI bubble? Ask a lawmaker, and they probably won't have a definitive take for you. "If I knew that, I'd be in a different line of work," Rep. Ro Khanna, a Democrat who represents much of Silicon Valley, told Business Insider. The AI bubble debate has been raging in the tech world since August, when OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said that investors had grown "overexcited" about the technology.
A wave of bills introduced this year in state legislatures across the country sought to censor Palestine-related education in public schools. Several passed with the support of pro-Israel Democratic lawmakers, a trend that educators and First Amendment advocates told Truthout reflects the alignment of pro-Israel groups with MAGA forces. As these efforts continue, many said they fear public education could be reshaped far beyond social studies classrooms and the topics of Israel and Palestine.
Home prices have risen more than 50% since the pandemic. About a third of American households now spend more than 30% of their income on housing. In 2014, the median age of a first-time homebuyer was 31. In 2025, it was 40 the highest on record. The core of the problem is simple: Too much money chasing too few homes. How many more homes does America need? I've seen estimates ranging from 2 million to 5 million.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), a longtime Trump ally who recently split with the president, made headlines last week by announcing her plans to resign in January. Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.), a Trump critic, told Axios he nearly resigned over the Trump administration's 28-point peace plan for the Russia-Ukraine war. "I have made the decision, after conversations with my beautiful bride and my girls over the Thanksgiving holiday, to focus on my family and return home after this Congress," Nehls said in a statement.
Earlier this year, the Trump administration reversed the convention that nobody would be snatched by immigration and customs enforcement, or ICE, by a school, church or hospital. Since then, teachers have reported classrooms a third empty, as parents are too scared to send their kids in volunteers walk them there and back. In the Rogers Park area of Chicago, a group of citizens are organising to resist such immigration raids. Sometimes, it's simple non-violent tactics, such as slowing officers down.
Screenshot The White House is expanding its battle with the fake news media by launching a media offender of the week feature to their website. The new part of the White House website is dedicated to calling out what it describes as fake news media. The first offenders at plate are The Boston Globe, CBS News, and The Independent. The website claimed it exposed the bias of these outlets against President Donald Trump.
Tariffs have made our Country Rich, Strong, Powerful, and Safe. They have been successfully used by other Countries against us for Decades, but when it comes to Tariffs, and because of what I have set in place, WE HAVE ALL THE CARDS, and with a smart President, we always will! Wars have been stopped, and stronger relationships with other countries have been built, even though they are not allowed to rip off the United States anymore.
