However, shortly after CBS News announced his new role within the network, the Department of Justice released its latest batch of Epstein files, which contained lewd, boorish email exchanges between him and Epstein. Ashton decried Attia’s Epstein ties, calling for “a higher ethical standard” for patients. “When someone uses terms like, ‘Pussy is low carb,’ I don’t really think it’s about, ‘Is it criminal?

LOADING ERROR LOADINGJERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet with U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington on Wednesday about the U.S. talks with Iran, his office said Saturday, as concerns remain high about possible regional conflict. “The prime minister believes that all negotiations must include limiting the ballistic missiles and ending support for the Iranian axis,” Netanyahu’s office said in a brief statement.

That’s what makes publications like Still Here so vital in the continued fight against HIV/AIDS, particularly in their focus on Black women. Still, statistics show the virus remains a major threat, especially to Black women.

Trump’s posted several things before that even many members of his own party were comfortable labeling racist and beyond the pale. The White House doesn’t seem to have done that.

Authoritarianism expert Ruth Ben-Ghiat says Donald Trump is falling into the same trap that has undone authoritarian-minded leaders throughout history. Andrew Harnik / Getty ImagesDespite declining approval ratings, Ben-Ghiat argued in a guest essay for the New York Times that the president is making the age-old error of believing his own hype. “I have seen this brand of strongman megalomania and the adverse effects it can ultimately have on leaders and their governments,” wrote Ben-Ghiat, the author of Strongmen: Mussolini to the Present. Contributor / Getty ImagesBen-Ghiat has long drawn parallels between Trump and past dictators.

.there’s at least a chance that we could see the return of Kirko Chainz to the sidelines in Minnesota. Cousins spent six seasons with the Vikings from 2018 to 2023. He played the best football of his career with the Vikings under Kevin O’Connell and would almost certainly be the best veteran option available on the free agent market. Well, unless you count Aaron Rodgers, but I’m not counting Aaron Rodgers because. Now, at age 37, it will be interesting to see whether or not he’d entertain a return to Minnesota to, potentially, close out his career.
