I Visited Off-Grid 'Hippie' Communes To See If They Have Life Figured Out. A home made of cob and stone at Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage in Rutledge, Missouri (July 2023). During my week at Dancing Rabbit, people welcomed me into their homes, sharing “family dinners” and even a birthday party. Intentional communities tend to have incredibly low rates of crime — theft isn’t common when you know all your neighbors. Still, after my months of immersive research on intentional communities was done, I didn’t end up joining any of them.

Morocco is a country of great strategic importance to the UK whose energy future depends on stronger ties with Morocco, said Labor MP Joe Powell in an Op-Ed published Thursday in the UK HuffPost. The UK and Morocco share a deep historical relationship spanning over 800 years, making it one of the world’s oldest diplomatic partnerships. In return, the UK exports cars, refined oil, and metals to Morocco, demonstrating a mutually beneficial relationship. Furthermore, Morocco is playing a key role in the electric vehicle (EV) battery supply chain, becoming strategic hub in the global transition to clean energy. As the UK seeks to deepen trade and energy partnerships, Morocco stands out as a valuable ally, offering exciting opportunities for sustainable growth and technological advancement, said the Labor MP.

LOADING ERROR LOADINGPresident Donald Trump issued a memorandum on Thursday ordering the Department of Justice to investigate online political fundraising platforms with the intent of targeting Democratic Party fundraising platform ActBlue. This, however, is the first time that he has taken aim at a part of the machinery of the Democratic Party. It is the clearest effort yet by Trump to use the power of the presidency to destabilize and hobble his political opposition. Over the next 20 years, it grew into the main platform used by nearly all Democratic Party politicians and party committees to raise political contributions. ActBlue reports raising over $16 billion for Democratic candidates, party committees and other causes in the 21 years since its founding.

The billionaire has provided the White House with political cover while DOGE pursued a cost-cutting drive that has made it deeply unpopular among career staffers. The cabinet will have more autonomy and will no longer need Musk’s sign-off on every decision, said one of the sources. FILE - Elon Musk flashes his T-shirt that reads "DOGE" to the media as he walks on South Lawn of the White House, in Washington, March 9, 2025. He has installed top lieutenants at key government agencies, while dispatching former staffers of X and SpaceX across a swath of federal agencies to oversee deep staff cuts. One possibility is Amy Gleason, who in February the White House named as acting administrator.

Meghan Markle on stage during the Time100 Summit Jemal Countess via Getty Images for TIMEMeghan Markle has responded to one frequent criticism of her recent lifestyle series on Netflix. Last month, the Duchess of Sussex took the lead in With Love, Meghan, in which she welcomed different guests – including her A-list friend Mindy Kaling and, naturally, her husband Prince Harry – into her makeshift home, while offering tips on cooking, gardening and entertaining. While it was popular with Netflix users, it’s fair to say that critics weren’t exactly bowled over by With Love, Meghan, with many reviews pointing out that the former Suits star hadn’t actually used her own home to film in. AdvertisementHowever, Meghan has said she had good reason for this. Speaking at the Time100 Summit in New York, The Times quoted her as saying: “People said, ‘Why didn’t you film the show in your house?’.

LOADING ERROR LOADINGExecutives from three of America’s biggest retail chains warned President Donald Trump that things could get ugly if his aggressive economic agenda proceeds as planned, according to a new report from Axios. Advertisement“The big box CEOs flat out told him the prices aren’t going up, they’re steady right now, but they will go up,” an administration official familiar with the meeting told Axios. But he was told that shelves will be empty.”According to a separate official briefed on the meeting, Trump was told that if he doesn’t change course, the impact could be noticeable in as little as two weeks. The CEOs words seemed to have some sway on the president. The following day, Trump told reporters that tariffs on China will “come down substantially” from his previously announced 145% rate.

I was moving my mom into assisted living. But we knew she wouldn’t be interested in moving to assisted living. Assisted living?

Andrew Harnik via Getty Images Experts say Donald Trump uses name-calling to discredit his critics. This can’t be said, though, for Donald Trump, who purposely name-calls (like when he labels his critics and opponents “haters,” “fake,” “bad people” or “crazy”). AdvertisementAd hominem attacks may disqualify you from high school and collegiate debates, but Trump has successfully used them since 2015, according to Mercieca. It’s the same for Trump, who uses this kind of language to discredit those who don’t share his beliefs. It’ll come as a surprise to absolutely no one that Trump uses terms like “bad people” or “evil people” or “crazy people” as a way to avoid accountability.
