Donald Trump’s decision to federalize Washington, D.C., turned a long-simmering anxiety into open confrontation. On paper, the results look impressive: robberies and car break-ins down by more than 40 percent, overall violent crime dropping double digits in a single week. For some residents, that means finally walking home at night without scanning every shadow, after…
Sleeping without clothes allows your body to settle into its natural temperature rhythm, instead of fighting layers of fabric that trap heat and sweat. A cooler body signals to your brain that it’s time to rest, helping melatonin flow more freely and deepening your sleep. Over time, this can mean fewer restless nights, fewer wake-ups…
Zohran Mamdani, 34, was elected as New York City’s new mayor, becoming the first Muslim, first South Asian, and first Africa-born person to lead the city. He will be sworn in January 2026 as the 111th mayor, but new research suggests he may actually be the 112th. Historian Paul Hortenstine found that Matthias Nicolls, long…
Graham Platner’s ascent turns a sleepy Senate race into a referendum on how far democracy can bend before it breaks. He doesn’t talk about “rebalancing” or “reforms.” He talks about subpoenas, term limits, and stripping the Court of jurisdiction on abortion and voting rights. He names justices onstage. He calls their decisions “attacks,” not opinions….
Most McDonald’s employees are trained to fear one thing: the unknown customer who’s secretly judging everything they do. Mystery shoppers, or “Gapbusters,” show up unannounced, order like anyone else, and then file detailed reports that can affect bonuses, schedules, even job security. The only clue staff sometimes have? The customer who insists on getting a…
Bernie Sanders is trying to force a choice before it’s too late: let AI deepen inequality and militarize the planet, or harness it to rewrite the social contract. His Thirty-Two Hour Workweek Act is more than a labor proposal; it’s a line in the sand over who owns the gains of automation. Either workers trade…
On a Sunday meant for worship and ordinary rituals of faith, Richmond Road Baptist Church became the scene of an unthinkable loss. Within minutes, three families were changed forever: a state trooper wounded on the roadside, two men shot on the church grounds, and two women—mother and daughter—killed in the very place they expected to…
For years, Trump’s political power has been fused to a single idea: relentless stamina. He mocked Biden as a man who naps through history, bragged he could go without sleep, and turned late-night rallies into proof of his dominance. That’s why the Cabinet-room image hits so hard. In that frozen moment, the president doesn’t look…
For many, it begins as casual or medical cannabis use — a way to sleep, relax, or ease pain. Then, without warning, the body turns against them: waves of nausea, violent vomiting, searing abdominal pain. They cycle through hospitals, tests, and scans that show nothing, while bills pile up and doctors puzzle over symptoms that…
Anne-Leigh Gaylord Moe’s confirmation to the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida is more than a routine judicial appointment; it is a strategic brick in Trump’s long-term remaking of the federal courts. Confirmed 53–46 with a handful of Democratic defections, Moe brings years of trial and appellate experience, a tough-on-crime reputation, and…
