LOADING ERROR LOADINGThe dealings to settle President Donald Trump’s lawsuit against “60 Minutes” may have been even more complicated and unseemly than was initially known. Advertisement“We did a deal for about $16 million plus $16 million, or maybe more than that in advertising. So it’s a combination of 16 plus 16 plus. So it’s like $32 [million] to maybe $35 million,” Trump said, according to a White House press pool report from The Washington Post’s Cat Zakrzewski. The $8 billion merger will require approval from the Trump administration’s Federal Communications Commission, which has led many to fear that the Paramount settlement is really about greasing the government’s wheels.

Elon Musk Has A Plan To Keep Civilization From Collapsing. So when I see billionaires like Elon Musk telling the world to have more kids or civilization will collapse, I want to scream. People think single parents live some glamorous sitcom life, but no one shows the scenes where you’re crying over the stove because you can’t afford gas and groceries in the same week. Without Medicaid to supplement my Medicare, I can’t afford the out-of-pocket costs for necessary care and medications. If you don’t contribute enough to their campaign coffers, they don’t care if you live or die.

If we’re not doing it, we need to do it, or we just finished doing it, or we’re going to have to do it soon. You’d think that because we can’t escape it, we’d have perfected it by now, but too many of us are doing it all wrong. That’s what we — Raj Punjabi and Noah Michelson, the co-hosts of HuffPost’s “Am I Doing It Wrong?” podcast — discovered when we recently chatted with Patric Richardson, aka The Laundry Evangelist. Richardson fell in love with cleaning clothes when he was just 2-and-a-half years old and is now the king of a laundry empire that includes sold-out laundry camps, a bestselling book, his own laundry products and an HGTV show, “The Laundry Guy.”One of the most shocking things we learned during our chat? We’re probably using the wrong kind of detergent and way too much of it, which could be hindering how clean our clothes get.

“El Salvador has confirmed what we and everyone else understood: it is the United States that controls what happens to the Venezuelans languishing at CECOT.

LOADING ERROR LOADINGIn interviews on Sunday, Trump administration officials did everything they could to downplay the Medicaid cuts in the president’s massive tax bill, given the electoral backlash Republicans could face. Work requirements are typically more popular, though support for them declines after people learn that most recipients are already working, and that these policies can increase administrative costs. Gig economy workers who have unpredictable hours, as well as people who provide caregiving for adult family members, are also among those who might not meet the work requirements.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) reacted to Congress passing President Donald Trump’s so-called “big, beautiful bill” with a passionate speech on the steps of Capitol Hill. “I think this is one of the saddest days in modern American history,” the congresswoman told reporters on Thursday, after the mega-bill passed the House, clearing the way for it to head to Trump’s desk.

As a death doula (also known as an end-of-life doula), I spend time with adults in hospice who are in their final weeks, days or hours. Becoming a death doula has taught me about what to expect at the end of life and given me the opportunity to help others do the same. The following year, wanting a better understanding of my father’s passing and of death in general, I researched the role of a death doula. Around the same time I completed my doula training, my 80-year-old neighbor died, and I adopted her 8-year-old dog, Gaia. Being a death doula has changed my view of death — understanding what happens at the end of life has reduced my fear of dying.
