Would we use it enough to make it worth it? TBH, I don't even want to go get coffee elsewhere unless it's a super fancy, seasonal latte that I can't make at home. The touchscreen, which I didn't think I needed initially, is a huge reason that I would recommend splurging on this model. And the touchscreen walks you through each step, so the process doesn't seem so intimidating. This has been a truly delightful addition to my kitchen, and if you're on the fence like I was, do it, do it, do it!

Since she took her place as the head of the U.S. Department of Justice in February 2025, Attorney General Pam Bondi — who previously served as Florida's attorney general for more than eight years — has been the subject of dozens of misleading and false claims. A longtime supporter of Trump, their history goes back to 2013, when his foundation made a $25,000 donation to a political committee backing Bondi — a move he later said was a mistake. Her politically-charged tenure has generated a slew of online misinformation, much of it directed at the attorney general herself. Below are 19 misleading or false claims; for example, whether an image depicts a 14-year-old Bondi with Trump, whether she held an Israeli passport, whether she fired a DOJ employee for having a copy of the U.S. Constitution on his desk, and more.

Fresh snowfall during recent storms and wind-swept snowcaps on weak internal layers have created especially risky conditions along the entire Alpine crescent bordering France, Switzerland and Austria, Alpine Rescue said.

A former colleague of Nancy Guthrie remembers her as a dedicated writer and polite young woman during their time together at the University of Kentucky's student newspaper in the early 1960s. Jack Guthrie, who served as editor of the Kentucky Kernel from fall 1962 to spring 1963, worked alongside Nancy when she was the society editor. Guthrie described Nancy as a reliable presence in the newsroom, typically working at least three days per week. She was friendly, and she was in the office, usually our newsroom, at least three days out of five a week," Guthrie said. The former colleagues lost touch after college, with Guthrie only occasionally hearing about Nancy through news coverage of her daughter, Savannah Guthrie, who became a prominent television journalist.

In fact, up to 1 in 5 people who experience a warning stroke could have a stroke within 90 days if they don’t get medical attention, according to Dr. Ahmed Itrat, the stroke medical director at Cleveland Clinic Akron General. So what exactly is a warning stroke? Medically, it’s referred to as a transient ischemic attack and causes “sudden-onset transient symptoms of neurological injury which resolve on their own,” Itrat said. “I would say that basically all the same signs and symptoms of a stroke are the signs and symptoms of a transient ischemic attack,” Giglio said. Unfortunately, he added, many people wait too long to seek treatment for stroke and warning stroke.

CNN anchor Abby Phillips questioned President Donald Trump‘s alleged outrage to Republican lawmakers criticizing a racist video posted on his social media. “What does that say about Trump though?,” Phillips replied. “That it’s not the fact that the racist video was posted, but the fact that people called him out for it, that he is — that is putting them on his enemies list. That’s wild!”Sources said Trump’s anger was directed at Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala., and Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., who both offered criticisms of the video. Trump is said to have called Britt expletives and said that she was “dead” to him but both the senator’s office and the White House have denied their relationship being fractured.

The United States sent two aircraft carriers to the region last year, when it carried out strikes against Iranian nuclear sites. However, June’s “Midnight Hammer” operation was essentially a one-off U.S. attack, with stealth bombers flying from the United States to strike Iranian nuclear facilities. Retaliatory Iranian strikes also increase the risk of a regional conflict. The same official said the United States fully expected Iran to retaliate, leading to back-and-forth strikes and reprisals over time. Trump has repeatedly threatened to bomb Iran over its nuclear and ballistic missile programs and crushing of internal dissent.
