These days, American politics is a highly charged and dramatic landscape - and nowhere more so than in the White House press room, which can, on occasion, feel like part reality show, part bear pit. Rarely a day goes by where a press room moment doesn't go viral, for any number of reasons. And, as RTÉ's new Washington correspondent, Galwegian Jackie Fox cannot wait to immerse herself in the belly of the beast.

I remember stepping out of Austin-Bergstrom Airport last July, and the heat hit me like opening an oven door. Not the dry, manageable warmth I knew from Southern California, but something thick and heavy that made my shirt cling to my back before I even reached the rental car. That moment was my first real hint that moving from California to Texas would be more than just a change of scenery.

I've spent my whole life exploring new places. Growing up, my family moved all over the US, from my birthplace of Cincinnati to Boston, Dallas, and various other cities. As an adult, I've continued that trend, moving to progressively smaller cities over the years, before settling in my current home: a New Hampshire college town of under7,000 people. I've never once moved because I disliked where I lived; in fact, each place was exactly what I wanted at that time in my life.

The biotechnology company Thermo Fisher Scientific is closing its Franklin facility, impacting up to 80 workers, the company said. In a statement to Boston.com, Thermo Fisher said it is closing its chemical analysis facility by the end of 2026. Most of the work will move to other U.S. facilities, as the company adjusts operations to meet current customer demand. The company said impacted workers will receive job transition support, with many employees relocating to other Massachusetts-based facilities.

"When I think about the best cities for young adults, I start with what recent high school and college grads actually value: access to jobs, reasonable housing costs, walkable or active social scenes, and the ability to build independence without being financially stretched from day one," says Danielle Andrews, realtor with Realty One Group Next Generation. But where exactly are these young person-friendly spots?

"I feel like it was easier to connect with other transplants," she said. "Everyone seemed to revolve around hobby-based communities."

Growing up in the midsize city of Vancouver, Canada, I always dreamed of living in a big metropolis - a cultural hub where something was always going on, with endless places to explore. For a while, I did. When I started dating a Brit, I moved to his hometown of Birmingham, England, the second-largest city in the UK population-wise, with over a million residents.

Leaving my hometown was another part of my letting go of my daughter, a process I began the day that I put her in the arms of her new parents. Seeing 6-month-old Hanna reach for her adoptive mother had helped to convince me that everything was as it should be - as it was supposed to be. Our connection had been severed. It was time for me to move on. We were now both free to live the rest of our lives.

When I moved to Charlotte, North Carolina, to be with my boyfriend in 2018, I fell hard for city life. After growing up in a small town in Virginia where weekend plans meant driving an hour to DC, I loved having museums, comedy shows, bars, and restaurants just a short walk away. We lived between Uptown and South End, able to walk to work during the day and hit our favorite spots at night.

I used to love coming home from vacation. The way the plane would swoop over London's skyscrapers and the River Thames before landing at Heathrow. Returning to my favorite places, people, and my job. Until one day, I burst into tears on a flight home from Italy. When I turned 30, I thought I had it all with a great career in London managing communications for TV networks.

Living in a place where it's cold and dark for several months at a time can take a toll on even the toughest person. During Alaska winters, I'd go to work in the dark and come home in the dark. Summers bring almost 24 hours of daylight, but that doesn't necessarily mean sunshine, as Alaskan summers can also be quite rainy. The light made sleep extremely difficult, too.

Since I met my husband in 2005, we've built a life on the move. Both of us work remotely - him as a software engineer and me as a travel writer - and we've lived in many parts of the world, including Singapore, US, UK, Netherlands, Bali, Spain, and Mexico. As a digital nomad family, we set up temporary home bases in each country and travel from there.

I got married, had kids, started a career as an expat career coach, and spent many years working and traveling around the world. My ex-husband and I always dreamed of moving to Europe once our children were older. When we divorced, I looked ahead at the rest of my life and thought, "I'll be damned if I spend the next 30 years in New Jersey."

Indian Larry hog-shop owner Bobby Seeger told The Post that his business will simply be relocating after the building that currently houses it is sold - with him eyeing a new spot in Williamsburg just two blocks away. "It's never going to go away. We'll relocate," Seeger said of his business - named after Larry Desmedt, a k a Indian Larry, the late motorcycle builder and stunt rider made famous by the Discovery Channel. "What are you going to do? You can dance, tap, cry," Seeger said of critics.

"T his building gets us closer to the people," says Portland Opera artistic director Alfrelynn Roberts. She's showing off the organization's new location, occupying three floors in downtown Portland's World Trade Center complex. After the 2024 sale of its longtime southeast home base, Portland Opera announced a strategic decision to move across the river in early 2025. Continued activation of downtown Portland is important to Portland Opera, and its new location makes them a nucleus.

While the decision initially felt right, I entered months of self-doubt and indecisiveness. In retrospect, it's obvious to me that my lack of clarity was social media-fueled - after all, it can make life feel like a competition over who can look the coolest and most successful. My own desires felt clouded by what I saw through small, digital windows.

Kevin was the new kid when we met in 10th grade. I was busy dancing; he was busy joining the football team. Eventually, our circles overlapped, and we started dating. By 11th grade, however, I dumped him. He wanted to do football camps all summer instead of hanging out with me. But by senior year, we got back together, and the rest is history. We've been together for over 15 years and have been married since 2018.

Walleye Capital's Chief Strategy Officer Jonathan Brenner is leaving the firm, the latest in a string of senior exits at the $9.4 billion hedge fund. Brenner, who joined in 2018 in a marketing and investor relations role and was promoted to partner in 2022, will exit the firm after a transition that will last through the first quarter of 2026, according to a quarterly investor update sent last month. A copy of the letter was seen by Business Insider.

When I was pregnant, we moved to a new town, to a wreck of a house we planned to do up. My mum, who was ill, moved in with us, and then I was the carer of a newborn and a dying parent at the two extremes of life, but sharing many of the same needs, and often at the same time.

Bob's got its start in the 1950s when an entrepreneur named Bob opened a modest donut shop on Polk Street. In the 1970s, Elinor, a single mom and Korean immigrant, bought the shop and ran it while raising two kids. After her sudden passing in 2001, her son Don and his wife Aya, just in their early twenties and raising three young children, took over.

Hayley and Helaman Perry-Sanchez put off their move to Cambridge, Massachusetts, as long as they could. Helaman was accepted to Harvard Business School in 2020, and though he was excited to pursue his MBA, the Perry-Sanchezes weren't as eager to relocate to the East Coast. After meeting and marrying while they were in college in Utah - and subsequently leaving the Mormon church together - Hayley, 27, and Helaman, 29, had found jobs and built a life in Seattle.

Travis, previously an Air Force flight surgeon, had matched into a military-sponsored orthopedic residency in Houston. With a 1-year-old and a newborn in a brand-new city, Erin paused her career as a labor and delivery nurse to support her husband's residency and get the family settled. Unpacking was the easy part. Making the unfamiliar feel like home was the real challenge.

I moved to the Hamptons, in spite of it being the Hamptons, and later to the Cotswolds, in spite of it being the "Hamptons of England." The status-symbol side of these places was never what drew me in. The Hamptons and the Cotswolds are completely different from one another, but there's a reason they're both so popular: They're fantastic. They have beautiful houses, interesting people, and great restaurants and stores.

Franck Detcheverry, Miquelon's 41-year-old mayor, trudges up a grassy hill. The view isn't too bad, huh? he jokes. The ocean sparkles 40 metres below the empty mound. The sound of a man playing the bagpipes, as if serenading the sea, floats up from the shoreline. This hill will be the location of his new home and those of all his fellow villagers.

Most residents of Buena Vista Mobile Home Park in Palo Alto will be forced to move out of their homes for eight months while utility lines running through the park are upgraded, according to the Santa Clara County Housing Authority. The Housing Authority informed residents of the Buena Vista Mobile Home Park that they will have to move out by February as the complex's utilities are renovated, said Director of Real Estate Flaherty Ward.

On the surface, our life was great. My husband and I both had thriving businesses. I was an accountant, and he was a home inspector. We had a lot of external things that defined success, like two brand-new cars sitting in the driveway, a beautiful 2,000-square-foot two-story house that we spent a lot of time renovating to be perfect. From the outside, it looked like we had it all together. But the truth is, we weren't really happy.

Former Sinn Féin councillor turned state witness Jonathan Dowdall is due to be released from jail in little over two weeks' time, on October 29, and he and his family will then be relocated overseas as he enters the Witness Security Programme.
