Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom are both drawing low levels of enthusiasm for potential 2028 presidential bids, with the California governor holding a lead over Harris among the state’s Democratic voters. The September survey, conducted by the UC Berkeley Citrin Center and POLITICO, found that 37% of registered California voters said they would be excited about a Newsom presidential run, compared with 28% who said the same about Harris. The figures mark a substantial decline from the February-March survey, when 48% of registered voters said they were excited about a Newsom bid and 41% were excited about Harris entering the...

This El Niño will have an epic tantrum. While still months away from reaching its peak, the super El Niño is already shattering temperature records. Data show that the sea surface temperature in the tropical Pacific has reached 3.07°C (around 5.5 F) — tying the record set by the 2015–16 El Niño — with scientists expecting it to get a lot hotter. “This month (September) is very likely to have the highest monthly anomalies on record,” Zeke Hausfather, co-author of comprehensive climate change reports for the United Nations, told Phys.org in an email. Based on an analysis of 14 different...

Microsoft Corporation has indeed announced new changes within its gaming division. Nearly three hundred employees will be affected by these layoffs. According to a statement by XBOX Content Director Matt Booty, the layoffs will take place at Halo Studios and several other studios — the full list has not been disclosed. They will also affect the management tier of XBOX and the central office. Layoffs are not the only changes Microsoft is implementing. Certain XBOX subsidiary studios are set for reorganization: Obsidian will now become part of Bethesda; the Microsoft Casual Game division, which works on games like Minesweeper and...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez issued a thinly veiled warning to the Democratic establishment, making clear she wouldn’t step aside for any other potential presidential candidates in 2028 — including Kamala Harris. “I don’t think that my decisions would come down to deference,” Ocasio-Cortez told The New York Times when asked which factors would weigh on her decision about whether to launch a White House bid. The 36-year-old New York Democrat — the youngest woman ever elected to Congress — has yet to announce a presidential campaign, but her comments make clear she isn’t waiting for a nod from Democratic leaders or a...

Maybe he has a different definition of “obsessed”? It’s flimsy, but it seems like the best explanation, after Tucker Carlson rejected claims he’s “obsessed with the Jews” and Israel on the Monday episode of his podcast. But the episode seemed to instantly disprove Carlson, because the Jews and Israel came up a whole lot. How many times? 281 times, to be exact. That included 215 mentions of “Israel” and 66 mentions of “Jew” or “Jewish.” There was a lone reference to Judaism too, for good measure. The lion’s share of those mentions came from The Grayzone reporter Max Blumenthal, his...

In the wake of the Lindsay Clancy Verdict and the Sydney Sweeney Pile-On and the Sophie Cunningham Point-ology it is time for a comprehensive and mandatory discussion of the issue of Women in the Public Square. WARNING to my liberal lady friends: You may not feel “safe” if you read this article. You will certainly experience it as “unwelcome.” Experts agree that the issue was raised by German sociologist Georg Simmel over a century ago. I first wrote about it 18 years ago. Simmel argued that it was not centuries of oppression that powered the feminist movement, but the new...

Israel is treating the new documentary “NAZA,” by the Israeli filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, less like bad publicity than a national security crisis. Eyal Zamir, chief of staff of the Israel Defense Forces, pledged to use “every tool at our disposal” against the documentary, which features anonymous interviews with 24 intelligence officers and soldiers, most involved in remote strikes in Gaza. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called for legislation that would let the state strip Abraham and Szor of their citizenship. Israel’s culture minister has asked the Interior Ministry to investigate them for treason. Activists and staff members...

Today, President Donald J. Trump addressed the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly and delivered a powerful message: American strength and resolve is back. President Trump declared that under his leadership, America is stronger than ever — and we will use that strength to confront our enemies, protect our interests, forbid communism, reject global control, and always defend our sovereignty.“Two and a half centuries after the cause of liberty found its home on this continent, I can report to you with pride that America is back, and our country is stronger today than ever before.” (Watch)“As President of...

Explanation: This shot captured an unexpected silhouette. Which is it? It isn't the sunspots, the small dark regions caused by concentrated magnetic fields visible around the Sun's bright disk. Sunspots typically last for weeks and were expected, since these spots were seen previously. It isn’t the International Space Station (ISS), the small dark structure on the middle left. This is because the featured picture was planned with sub-second timing to record the iconic structure passing before the Sun. It is the airplane. Just as this exposure was taking place in June, from Prasek in the Czech Republic, an airplane began...

Step outside in the right Richardson neighborhood and you will hear it before you see it: a high-pitched whirr cutting through the afternoon. Your neighbor just ordered something from Amazon, and it will arrive in 30 minutes. The sound, according to residents under the flight paths, does not stop after one delivery. Amazon's Prime Air drone program has moved well past the pilot stage in Richardson, Texas. The gap between the company's framing and what some residents describe living beneath it has become the defining tension of the rollout, according to New York Times reporting dated September 21, 2026. How...

Just when staffers at CNN thought the news giant’s path to the future was becoming more clear, new fog has set in. In recent weeks, the Warner Bros. Discovery outlet appeared to have found its groove. Yes, its linear ratings are down noticeably from the era when it won notice for its aggressive coverage of President Trump’s first term, and there’s serious questions about whether they will ever come back. But the company appeared to be making some gains with digital audiences with its recently launched “CNN All Access” subscription service, where CNN has been testing new programming formats. On...

Pike is set to become the first woman put to death in Tennessee since 1819 if Governor Bill Lee does not put a stop to the scheduled execution before 10 a.m. local time on September 30.

Maryland’s chief medical examiner has officially ruled that a Black man found hanging from a tree in Prince George’s County on Sunday morning died by suicide. The ruling came Monday, just one day after the body was discovered high in a tree in front of an industrial business on the 9300 block of D’Arcy Road in unincorporated Upper Marlboro, WTOP News reported. Police and fire crews arrived around 7:55 a.m. Sunday. The man was pronounced dead at the scene. Because of the height of the body and the need to wait for the medical examiner, many drivers passing by saw...

A bombshell sworn declaration filed in federal court is raising new questions about the Biden-era COVID-19 vaccine mandate imposed on America’s military. According to TrialSite News, Army Lt. Col.

Kennedy Jr. and reporting to War Secretary Pete Hegseth, filed a sworn declaration in Adirim v. U.S. Central Intelligence Agency et al., in the Eastern District of Virginia.
