I haven't looked at the article. I, of course, have heard about it. But, conspiracy theorist sometimes I am a conspiracy theorist, but I only believe in the conspiracy theories that are true. And, by the way, Susie and I have joked in private and in public about that for a long time. For example, I believed in the crazy conspiracy theory back in 2020 that it was stupid to mask 3-year-olds at the height of the Covid pandemic, that we should actually let them develop some language skills.
It was "misconceived" for a Department of Housing official to repost a controversial video offering advice to young people moving back into the family home, the Housing Minister has conceded.
"Our mission is to give Oregonians the opportunity to reflect on the history of their country and state, and to talk about what kind of future they want," said Kerry Tymchuk, chair of the 15-member America 250 Oregon Commission that was created by the 2024 Oregon Legislature.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves says she can be trusted with the country's finances and has been "clear" about reasons for her decisions, following claims she misled the public in the run-up to her Budget. In an interview for BBC One's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, Reeves was challenged to explain why she had repeatedly warned about a downgrade to the UK's economic productivity forecasts.
One of the things I do sometimes is I fantasize about what would happen if such and such met such and such. How much would you pay to see a no holds barred between Pete Hegseth and Jason Crow? You know how long Pete Hegseth would last? Maybe a half a second. Jason was in the 75th Ranger Regiment, he said.
This is a major problem. And one of the many reasons why these ridiculous side shows and secret meetings need to stop. Allow Secretary of State Marco Rubio to do his job in a fair and objective manner.
The tirade came after his guest, retired Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling, pointed out Graham's past as a JAG lawyer in Iraq. Scarborough unloaded, calling the senator's remarks pathetic and sad: Lindsey knows better. I mean, and that's what's so pathetic about it. It's sad. I know Lindsey and I've known Lindsey for a long time. He's been a friend, but Lindsey knows better.
The 90-second video was first posted early on Tuesday from senator Elissa Slotkin's X account. In it, the six lawmakers - Ms Slotkin, Arizona senator Mark Kelly, and representatives Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander and Chrissy Houlahan - speak directly to US service members, whom Ms Slotkin acknowledges are "under enormous stress and pressure right now". "The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our constitution," Ms Slotkin wrote in the X post.
Broadcaster refuses to apologise during Oireachtas hearing Broadcaster and media coach Ivan Yates has said he has "some regrets" about his comments that Fine Gael should "smear the bejaysus" out of Catherine Connolly during the presidential campaign. But he has refused to apologise for the remarks, which he made in a podcast by Newstalk Radio, saying they were "weaponised" and "deliberately manipulated" by Ms Connolly's campaign.
I am often left scratching my head in confusion over some of the opinions held by people in this fine country of ours, most frequently when in relation to the Irish language. There are so many contradictions, such rampant self-shaming, and a severe under-appreciation of the beauty of it. This was made particularly evident during President Catherine Connolly's campaign and inauguration.
If it isn't you, then it's probably your neighbour, your friend, your elderly parent; trapped in an anxious, miserable limbo for months longer than they should have been, getting passed from pillar to post. The only thing we don't all know about waiting lists, it turns out, is that actually they're coming down. Barely a quarter of Britons knew waiting lists had fallen in Labour's first year in power, according to recent polling for the Health Foundation thinktank in September:
Pulte has gained notoriety in recent months for leading the crusade against several Trump political enemies including; Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook, Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and New York Attorney General Letitia James publicly accusing them of mortgage fraud. To date, only James has been criminally charged, and even the strength of that case has been called into question by legal analysts.
The couple shared that when the news first hit Kimmel was being taken off of the air, they decided to sit down with their 8-year-old son and 11-year-old daughter to explain the situation to them. "Our son asked if the president had done this, McNearney said. And we looked at each other, and we didn't know quite how to answer that question. I think I said yes,' Kimmel said. We did, we actually both said yes' at the exact same time, McNearney confirmed right after.
For all the headlines about an on-off relationship with Donald Trump, baiting liberals and erratic behaviour, Tesla shareholders are loath to part with Elon Musk. Investors in the electric vehicle maker voted on Thursday to put the world's richest person on the path to become the world's first trillionaire, despite the controversy that is now seemingly intrinsic to his public profile.
Kimberly-Clark is laying down $40bn to buy Kenvue in a massive deal that has puzzled some investors, as the maker of Tylenol struggles with weak sales, lawsuits and White House attacks linking its painkiller to autism. Shares of Kimberly-Clark dropped sharply after the Monday announcement as stockholders scrutinised the 46 percent premium being paid for the former Johnson & Johnson unit that has had a turbulent year.
What I worry about is they're going to get together after the next election and have some sort of appalling, Hamas-supporting, LGBT-supporting, nationalist party against the United Kingdom, trying to get us back into the EU, all the things the British people have rejected time and again. The only way to stop that is Reform. That means, including if you're a former Conservative, I'm afraid to say, you've got to join us.
Our sponsorship of the series has now been paused and the advert has been removed.

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground.
This is how authoritarian regimes do it. They create these kind of fake ideas that there's an enemy out there and it could be sitting next to you at one of these tables. So just somebody sitting at your table that you don't like might be one of those enemies, Pritzker said. So let's round them up, let's make sure they are the subjects of the laws that we're passing, because we don't like who they are. That is what authoritarian regimes do.
I have a lot of friends that have daughters that play soccer, play volleyball, run track, play softball, he said. You know what their parents don't want them doing, for good f*cking reason? Is competing with males. He then said Yee should do a little experiment, where she takes the gold medal times and performances for female athletes in the 2024 Olympics and compare those results against the men. It would be no contest, Carville said the women would get crushed in head-to-head competition.
REPORTER: Jay Jones has repeatedly said that he would, in Virginia- TRUMP: Who said what? REPORTER: Jay Jones, in Virginia TRUMP: Jay Jones, you mean the one that wanted to kill somebody's children and kill somebody? You mean the animal that wanted to kill somebody? Who should not be allowed to be running for that office? REPORTER: Yeah, he said he can't wait to see you in court.
The President is putting his ego over responsibility with this disregard for public safety, the Democratic governor said in a statement. Firing live rounds over a busy highway isn't just wrong it's dangerous. Vance and U.S. Marine officials at Camp Pendleton have said there was nothing unsafe about the artillery exercise and no need to disrupt traffic on Interstate 5, which is the main highway along the Pacific coast between San Diego and Los Angeles.
"It saddens me immensely to say that with your recent comments, and failure to understand their impact, I now barely recognize the person I have so long admired," Conway, a top Democratic donor, wrote to Benioff in the email. Conway was so disturbed by Benioff's comments that he contacted his longtime friend about them and they discussed the matter over the past few days, according to the email.
A bombshell report detailing virulently racist and antisemitic text messages shared among members of Young Republicans groups from across the nation has pulled back the veil on how the next generation of GOP leaders talk when they think no one is watching. "Can we fix the showers? Gas chambers don't fit the Hitler aesthetic." "I'd go to the zoo if I wanted to watch monkey play ball." "You're giving nationals [too] much credit and expecting the Jew to be honest." "I love Hitler."
Seven members of the Texas National Guard were sent home following their deployment to Illinois for failing to meet fitness standards and in the aftermath of viral photos that sparked widespread mockery.

Charles Spapens, mayor of Forest, a municipality of Brussels, issued the following statement, per The Brussels Times: "My responsibility and priority are the safety of residents, neighbors, demonstrators, spectators and staff at Forest National. Given the police's negative advice and the venue's unique location, it was my duty to make this decision." His decision came after a police risk assessment warned that Draiman's appearance could lead to violent demonstrations around the venue. It was also influenced by a national strike set to take place a day earlier in Brussels, as well as the anticipation of other demonstrations that may occur in the area.
The indictment accuses James on two felony counts: bank fraud and making false statements to a financial institution. New York Attorney General Letitia James, who led a legal case against US President Donald Trump over alleged fraud in his businesses, has been charged with lying on a mortgage application, drawing accusations of political vindictiveness by the White House. Her first court appearance is set for October 24.
I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities, In the aftermath of that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war: a death toll that now far exceeds 67,000; with the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals, and schools into rubble. Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language.
That's not the kind of country I want to live in. I want to live in a country where people are properly integrated. "It's not about the colour of your skin, or your faith, of course it isn't. But I want people to be living alongside each other, not parallel lives.
