Having previously been touted as the GOP's next presidential hopeful, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' White House bid has been floundering over the past few months, with even Republican figures casting doubt on the future of his campaign. DeSantis's unfavorable rating among potential voters has been steadily rising since late March, when he recorded a split 39.3 percent favorable rating.

The average cost of making damaged cars good as new has soared 36% since 2018, and may top $5,000 by the end of this year, according to Mitchell, a company that provides data and software to insurance companies and auto repair businesses. That big increase is the main reason that insurance premiums have been soaring — up 17% in the 12 months through May. New SUVs and pickup trucks, including a...

The summer after my second year of law school, I worked at a law firm in London, England. It was my first time there and I was giddy with excitement when the fancy car that collected me at Heathrow Airport deposited me in front of the fancy apartment building I'd be living in for the next month. After lugging my suitcase up the stairs to the front door, I was met by a sweet-looking elderly white woman; my landlord. I went to shake her hand. Looking sick to her stomach, she yanked her right arm behind her back and dropped...

Explanation: It seemed like the sky exploded. The original idea was to photograph an aurora over a waterfall. After waiting for hours under opaque clouds, though, hope was running out. Others left. Then, unexpectedly, the clouds moved away. Suddenly, particles from a large solar magnetic storm were visible impacting the Earth's upper atmosphere with full effect. The night sky filled with colors and motion in a thrilling auroral display. Struggling to steady the camera from high Earthly winds, the 34 exposures that compose the featured image were taken.

..... Responding to footage published online which shows the civilian firing towards the terrorist and neutralizing him. A few seconds later, the terrorist can be seen moving, and the civilian can be seen firing two more bullets within the span of a few seconds. Oppenheimer said, "An awful terror attack.
