A week before Oregon’s primary election, the secretary of state’s office is moving to protect the integrity of its online system where campaign finance records are published after a web hosting provider was hit by a ransomware attack.

Joy Behar said during Tuesday's episode of "The View" that Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito not being able to leave his house easily because of the pro-choice protests happening outside his home might be a "good lesson" for him on "what it feels like to lose your freedom of choice." Guest host Alyssa Farah noted that she believed the protests occurring outside the houses of justices could be seen as "intimidation" and suggested the steps of the Supreme Court would be more appropriate. "I worry it could begin to look like intimidation when it's at someone’s doorstep," Farah said. "I...

The mortality rate in highly pathogenic avian influenza is nearly 100% for domestic poultry, but it’s killing wild birds now, too. Idaho recently identified its first such case in a great-horned owl. Colorado assistant state veterinarian Morgan McCarty said it’s mainly affecting waterfowl, like ducks and geese. “But we’re also seeing it in owls and eagles and vultures and hawks and crows across the United States where we have never seen the levels of virus in the wild birds that we’re seeing this year.” In Colorado alone, the state has recorded several infected wild birds, including a bald eagle, a...

If the congressional election were held today, 42% of respondents said they would vote for the Democrat nominee,...

Trinh Nguyen, 38, who has been jailed since the May 2 shootings in Newtown that killed 9-year-old Nelson Tini and 13-year-old Jeffrey Tini, was charged with first-degree murder Monday after her sons died Friday, Bucks County District Attorney Matthew Weintraub said.

The biggest baby formula supplier in the U.S., whose Michigan plant was shutdown nearly three months ago, claims the bacterial infection that killed at least two infants did not come from their products. In mid-February Abbott Laboratories issued a nationwide baby formula recall and ceased operations at its plant in Sturgis, Michigan amid reports of babies contracting bacterial infections from its products. An Abbott spokesperson told DailyMail.com Tuesday that 'thorough investigation' by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Abbott revealed 'infant formula produced at our Sturgis facility is not the likely source of infection in the reported cases...

ARI SHAPIRO, HOST: About a hundred years ago, a Japanese chemist named Dr. Kikunae Ikeda set out to solve a mystery - what made the taste of the soup stock dashi distinct from other tastes like salty, sweet, sour and bitter? He ultimately distilled a single compound from the stocks' seaweed. It was glutamate. Yet it was only recently that the taste associated with that compound was commonly acknowledged in the West. Chloee Weiner and Emily Kwong at NPR's science podcast Short Wave pick up the story. EMILY KWONG, BYLINE: Glutamate is just an amino acid, a building block of...

PALM BEACH, FL—Former President Donald Trump has declared his very first move after victory in 2024 will be to make himself head of the new Disinformation Governance Board. "Nobody knows disinformation more than do, and we're gonna get rid of it," said Trump. "The moment our great nation finally gets rid of Sleepy Joe—who has done so many terrible things—your favorite President will get right to work getting rid of the FAKE NEWS. And with the power of the Disinformation Governance Board, I will make everyone tell the truth about a certain STOLEN ELECTION!" Sources close to Trump say there...

When Lufthansa, Germany's flag carrier airline, left New York for Frankfurt, most, but by no means all, of its passengers were Jews, with about 80% of them being Hasidic Jews bound for Budapest. Because some of the Hasidic passengers apparently refused to wear their masks, once the plane arrived in Frankfurt, Lufthansa banned all but two Jews (men whose yarmelkes were hidden under baseball caps) from boarding their flight to Hungary. This openly antisemitic conduct was bad under any circumstances, but it was especially ugly coming from a German company. After all, in 1938, a year that was the prelude...

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Tuesday warned voters unhappy with soaring inflation and his stalled domestic agenda against turning power over to “ultra-MAGA” Republicans in the midterm elections as he increasingly tries to cast former President Donald Trump and his adherents as a political foil. Speaking Tuesday, Biden, who ran for office aiming to heal the nation’s divisions, said, “I never expected the ultra-MAGA Republicans who seem to control the Republican Party now to have been able to control the Republican Party. I never anticipated that happening.”
