For years, lawmakers at the state and federal levels have tried a variety of measures aimed at making kids safer on the internet, from kids-tailored design standards to age verification for individual websites. More recently, a new model has caught on in the states, and now it's gaining steam in Congress: putting the onus on app stores nationwide. The new approach to age verification orders mobile app stores to verify users' ages, then send that information to apps when users download them.
Andrew Yang has warned for several years that automation would upend the American workforce. In the run-up to his 2020 campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination, he predicted that self-driving cars alone could displace a million mostly male truck drivers with limited education - a shift that could "destabilize society" and even trigger "riots in the street," he told The New York Times in 2018. Seven years later, Yang says the crisis he feared is no longer hypothetical.
WASHINGTON -- Lawmakers from both parties said Sunday they support congressional reviews of U.S. military strikes against vessels suspected of smuggling drugs in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean, citing a published report that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order for all crew members to be killed as part of a Sept. 2 attack. The lawmakers said they did not know whether last week's Washington Post report was true,
At a Thanksgiving gathering with voters, another candidate in the same race fielded questions about affordability but also about moral leadership when it came to Israel's war in Gaza. A third candidate vying for the same seat devoted much of his campaign's launch video to lambasting the current member of Congress representing the district over the funding he's received from the pro-Israel lobby.
Returning to Washington on Sunday night, Trump was grilled on Minnesota Governor Tim Walz's call to release last month's MRI results, a demand the Democrat issued after the president labeled him seriously retarded online. Trump insisted the imaging showed nothing alarming, telling reporters: They were perfect like my phone call where I got impeached. Absolutely perfect. If you want to have it released, I'll release it.
MS NOW's Morning Joe crew warned that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth may have put himself in dangerous legal peril by bragging about a strike mission on a suspected narco-trafficking boat after reports he ordered SEAL Team 6 to kill everybody aboard and then allegedly struck survivors in the water. The Washington Post reported Sunday that the September mission, part of a Trump administration push against Venezuelan drug routes, escalated after a drone spotted two survivors clinging to the wreckage, prompting a second strike.
US President Donald Trump said on Sunday that his administration would maintain a pause on asylum decisions "for a long time." "We don't want those people," Trump said. "You know why we don't want them? Because many have been no good, and they shouldn't be in our country." The president said there was "no time limit" for the pause. The decision followed the shooting near the White House on Wednesday, which resulted in the death of a 20-year-old National Guard member and left another critically wounded.
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.
