Auditors have slammed a homelessness nonprofit in San Francisco for being 'careless and irresponsible' with $240 million of taxpayer money, in the latest scandal to rock California's bloated charity housing sector. HomeRise, one of the city's main providers of homeless housing, 'misused' funds, lacked financial controls and engaged in other practices that 'heightened the risk of fraud,' says a damning city report. It's the latest in a slew of revelations about waste in California's so-called 'homelessness industrial complex' — a gravy train of funders, officials, and shelter owners more keen on swallowing public funds than solving the problem.

Vice President Kamala Harris continues trying to demonstrate her professed love for Gen-Z and young people on the campaign trail as she tries to reboot her image for the 2024 election. The Vice President tried to soften the administration’s support of a bill that would ban TikTok, and took a delicate approach to antisemitism among college pro-Palestinian protests and even filmed a Buzzfeed video about her 'hair journey.' Harris claimed the Biden administration did not want to ban TikTok even though she said the president would ‘absolutely’ sign the foreign aid package that includes the measure would ban TikTok if...

President Joe Biden will pound Donald Trump on the abortion issue in a rare visit to the former president's home state of Florida on Tuesday. Biden will be in Tampa one week before Florida's abortion ban goes into effect. Trump will be in New York for the second day of opening arguments in the hush money case against him. The president's campaign argues that once Florida's law goes into place – it bans abortions after six-weeks, which is before many women know they are pregnant – there will effectively be an abortion ban across the entire Southeast part of the...

Joe Biden is considering an executive order that would grant amnesty to the more than 1 million illegal immigrants who married U.S. citizens but were barred from receiving green cards. The President is looking at taking further actions to address both the southern border crisis and illegal immigrants living in the U.S. ahead of the 2024 election as a large chunk of Americans rank the issue as their top priority. Although immigrants, even those living in the U.S. illegally, are typically able to gain citizenship when they marry American citizens there are a number of reasons why they may have...

Papua New Guinea's leader has dismissed Joe Biden's suggestion that his uncle was eaten by cannibals there as 'loose' talk that does not reflect the US president's feelings for the country. 'Sometimes you have loose moments,' PNG leader James Marape said in an interview after Biden's contentious remarks, adding that the relationship was stronger than 'one blurry moment'. Biden said last week that his uncle Ambrose Finnegan was shot down over the Pacific during the second World War: '(He) got shot down in an area where there were a lot of cannibals at the time. They never recovered his body.'

The Democratic National Committee has conducted focus groups on Vice President Kamala Harris, according to a new CNN report, to understand why voters do not like her. Some voters in the focus groups said they did not like Harris, specifically citing her laugh for criticism. Others questioned whether Biden even likes her.

The concept of tolling drivers entering the state of Massachusetts has angered some Americans - including local politicians. New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu, 49, was among those to speak out, after the idea was floated last week by Bay State Transportation Secretary Monica Tibbits-Nutt.
