He announced the news in a scathing Thursday press release in which he called the Haslams’ choice “driven by...

A new ad for Pennsylvania Democratic senator Bob Casey features a married couple with different politics but who find common ground on the incumbent senator. "On politics, we just don’t agree — except for Bob Casey. He’s independent. That’s right! Casey’s leading the effort to stop corporate greed-flation and price gouging. Casey bucked Biden to protect fracking and he sided with Trump to end NAFTA and put tariffs on China to stop them from cheating." First, don’t buy the spin that Bob Casey is some independent maverick; he voted with the Biden administration’s position 98.5 percent of the time. Second,...

A new political network funded by the cryptocurrency industry has spent more than $134 million trying to elect dozens of allies to Congress, mounting an unprecedented political effort to influence voters and secure favorable regulation. The spending comes from an organization called Fairshake, along with two other affiliated crypto-funded groups, known as super PACs, which by law can spend unlimited sums in politics.

None of the...

Is this the most-wanted cereal killer? An ex-FDA employee has revealed what he claims is the most harmful breakfast cereal on the US market. Dr. Darin Detwiler, who previously served as a food safety expert for the agency, told the Daily Mail that Kellogg’s Froot Loops is the worst of the bunch, pointing out that the rainbow rings are “heavily processed and contain high levels of added sugars, artificial dyes and preservatives, which are linked to health concerns.” Given the laundry list of bad-for-you ingredients in the bagged cereal, Detwiler says excess sugar is the least odious. A 1-cup serving...

CNN host Chris Wallace said Friday on “News Central” that there was “plenty of evidence” that former President Donald Trump is not fit to be the president. Host Brianna Keilar said, “Back to Trump and what we are sort of observing, and I wonder if you think as someone who, of course, yes, he’s going to be 78 years old if elected. He’d be the oldest person to become prime president. Are these questions, this criticism is it warranted?” Wallace said, “Well, people have to judge for themselves, but I think that there’s plenty of evidence out there, Brianna, that...

WARSAW, Oct 18 (Reuters) - Poland moved a step closer to legalising civil partnerships with the publication of a draft law on Friday that the minister responsible for the legislation hailed as a "historic day" in a country where gay rights have proved bitterly divisive. Donald Tusk's pro-European coalition government swept to power in predominantly Catholic Poland last year largely thanks to younger, liberal voters keen to draw a line under eight years of nationalist rule during which the struggle for LGBT equality was branded by those in power as a dangerous foreign ideology. However, some of those voters have...

The Fox News interview with Kamala Harris set a record for the 2024 campaign as the most-watched media appearance to date, drawing a total audience of 7.8 million viewers, outperforming Harris’ appearance on CBS’ 60 Minutes (5.7 million viewers), ABC’s The View (3.1 million viewers) and CBS’ The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. The interview with Fox News anchor Bret Baier on Special Report made news itself—both for Harris’ decision to speak to Fox, and for the often contentious questioning by Baier, leading Harris to object to the host’s talking over her when she was trying to answer his question.

After the months that Israel's security forces were hunting Sinwar through the underground maze he had built himself in Gaza, he was found by chance, walking above ground in broad daylight in...
