If you don’t already recognize her for her brand’s viral lip liner, you might recognize Sarah Cheung as a short-form beauty content pioneer. Five years ago, she founded her own beauty brand, Sacheu, with the launch of two stainless steel skin care tools, a facial roller and a gua sha. At the end of 2025, Cheung was named to Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list in retail and e-commerce. The brow tint worked surprisingly well as a lip liner, but brow tints aren’t meant to be used as lip products and can cause dryness or skin sensitivity. As a self-described “product nerd,” Cheung saw an opportunity, and Sacheu’s “lip liner stay-n” was born.

LOADING ERROR LOADINGWASHINGTON – A Democratic senator introduced a bill Thursday to raise the federal minimum wage to $20 per hour by 2029, setting a new benchmark for progressives hoping to hike the wage floor. Unless Trump were to embrace a higher minimum wage this year, there’s no chance the Republican-controlled House or Senate would approve one. Congress hasn’t passed legislation to raise the federal minimum wage since 2007, under then-President George W. Bush. AdvertisementThe federal minimum wage remains just $7.25 per hour – the salary equivalent of $15,000 per year – and prevails in any state that doesn’t mandate a higher one. But he hasn’t shown much interest in the minimum wage during his second term, except to lower it for federal contractors.

In 2025, according to Sanders’ FEC filings, he spent at least $354,000 in campaign funds to pay for private jet services through Ventura Jets. The other private jet companies Sanders spent campaign funds on included N-Jet and Cirrus Aviation Services. During his failed 2020 presidential campaign, the Sanders campaign spent over $1.9 million on private jets, including Apollo Jets and the Advanced Aviation Team, a Virginia-based private jet company. According to the 2021 Transport and Environment report, private jets are up to 14 times more polluting than commercial planes. It is unacceptable,” Ocasio-Cortez said in 2023, in one example of the New York congresswoman herself railing against private jets.

From his Los Angeles home, Johnathan Perkins, a Black diversity, equity and inclusion director at UCLA, had a different take. Across more than 47,000 Bluesky posts, Perkins frequently derides the Trump administration, including posts this year criticizing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem amid Minneapolis immigration raids. Perkins, the former UCLA DEI director, said he plans to sue the university over his firing. (Jason Armond / Los Angeles Times)While a student, he entered the spotlight in May 2011 when he recanted an article he wrote in a campus law publication. In 2022, when employed at UCLA, Perkins tweeted that “no one wants to openly admit [we all] hope Clarence Thomas dies,” calling him “Uncle Thomas”.

What Clients Say Instead of “Experience-Led Living”“Most clients don’t walk in saying, ‘I want experience-led design,’” Wilk says.

FacebookTwitterPinterestLinkedInEmailA recent report in the Washington Post highlighted a striking reality: economists, researchers, and policymakers cannot agree on the true size of the U.S. housing shortage. In practice, however, the inability to define the scope of the shortage introduces real risk into housing policy, development strategy, and long-term affordability. When the housing market collapsed, builders dramatically reduced activity. A functional housing market requires turnover inventory. Affordability Is the Clearest SignalWhile economists debate the numerical size of the shortage, affordability offers a more tangible diagnostic.

Meanwhile, their governing politicians are left only to hope that the reduced available power will still be sufficient for their citizens.

Vladimir Putin and Jeffrey Epstein APVladimir Putin’s aide has dismissed claims that Jeffrey Epstein was a Russian spy. “This so-called ‘honey trap’ set for the elites of the Western world, primarily the US.”Tusk offered no evidence to support his claim, but suggested the “unprecedented paedophilia scandal was co-organised by Russian intelligence services” to hurt Warsaw. AdvertisementTusk announced that his government would launch an investigation into what it believes were potential connections between Epstein and Russia’s intelligence services – and the possible knock-on consequences for Poland. The files suggest Epstein was in contact with some young women from Russia and may have tried to introduce a 26-year-old Russian woman to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the former prince. Epstein also alleged that Bill Gates sought treatment for a sexually transmitted disease caught from “sex with Russian girls”.

Similar actions, including immigration agents entering private property without a warrant issued by a court, have drawn concern from civil rights groups across the country amid President Donald Trump's mass deportation efforts. Courts in Colorado and Washington, D.C., have issued rulings like Kasubhai’s, and the government has appealed them. But the judge heard evidence that agents in Oregon have arrested people in immigration sweeps without such warrants or determining escape was likely. The daylong hearing included testimony from one plaintiff, Victor Cruz Gamez, a 56-year-old grandfather who has been in the U.S. since 1999. Cruz Gamez testified that he was driving home from work in October when he was pulled over by immigration agents.

Peppa Pig Peppa Pig and brother George, who will wear a hearing aid in upcoming episodes of the cartoon after the family learns he has moderate hearing loss in one ear. I’d grown up as a child of deaf parents, but television never showed families like mine. That’s why the new Peppa Pig storyline, in which George (Peppa’s younger brother) is revealed to be deaf, feels so powerful. And as a child myself of deaf parents, I know that seeing stories like this could have helped my parents feel more visible when they were raising me.
