The actress is a frequent and highly vocal critic of the President whom she has now deemed “cruel and bloodthirsty” in a rant in which she did not hold back. “He’s utterly schizoid, somedays he’s a ‘good-humored moron’, other days, he’s a ‘cruel and bloodthirsty fiend’,” the Hocus Pocus star tweeted Sunday night in response to a tweet which suggested Trump knows he is going to lose the election and is thus, acting to cause damage before he leaves office....

Alexandre Lacazette has just enjoyed his best-ever scoring season netting 28 goals for Lyon as Les Gones finished fourth in Ligue 1. Only Edinson Cavani scored more goals than Lacazette in the French top flight this season and that kind of form has naturally attracted plenty of attention. Paddy Power price Atletico as the Frenchman’s most likely destination with Los Rojiblancos offered at 8/15 (1.53) to have secured his services by the close of the transfer window....

White was about two weeks shy of her 100th birthday when news broke that she died at her home. Having rose to fame for her roles on The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Golden Girls, White’s career also includes her playing the part of producer for the show Life With Elizabeth, the sitcom that earned White her first Emmy. Decades after Golden Girls stopped making new episodes, White remained a beloved icon for people of all ages and her agent said he believed she’d “live forever” despite her increasing age....

The beloved actress has been in show business for 75 years, with her first role in the 1945 short Time to Kill. White has been a staple of film and television throughout the decades, with roles in The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Golden Girls, The Proposal, and Toy Story 4. To celebrate her birthday, here are 10 quotes from the comedic icon gathered from her IMDb page, Parade and Brainy Quote:...

This analysis is as common as it is wrong. While vouchers may well be unconstitutional on church-state grounds, the decision is clearly helpful for education–including public education. And in the long run it’s probably a win for liberals, not conservatives. To understand why, let’s back up and look at the last extremely contentious Supreme Court decision: Roe v. Wade in 1973, which legalized abortion in the United States. Before Roe, abortion rights were fought out in state capitals and through the democratic process; the anti-abortion folks were on the ropes, losing ground almost everywhere....

First, let’s define the sides. When normally opposing New York Times columnists William Safire and Anthony Lewis are on the same team (along with Rep. Bob Barr), you know the old left-right distinctions aren’t so relevant to the issue. Instead, we have civil libertarians squaring off against what you might call “civil securitarians” (championed by President Bush). In the tension between liberty and security, it’s a question of emphasis....

My Grandma Cel died a few years ago in her early 90s. She was the gentle and artistic matriarch of our family-the moral core of our universe. Cel was a classic flapper in the 1920s; a wife and mother in the ’30s and ’40s; a world traveler in the ’50s and ’60s, visiting remote regions of dozens of Third World countries; and a figure of uncommon grace and wisdom in the final decades of the 20th century....

Recall what Richard Nixon did in 1971. The recovery from the mild 1969-70 recession was slow. Nixon worried that high unemployment and inflation threatened his re-election. In August he stunned the country by freezing wages and prices. Strict wage-price controls followed. In 1972 he won re-election with nearly 61 percent of the vote. The economy was pumped up by tax cuts and low interest rates, and prices were suppressed....

Griping online has long been a favorite pastime among Net surfers. But now there’s a new twist: companies and CEOs are fighting back by suing online detractors for libel under defamation principles. Dubbed “cybersmear” suits, legal experts have noticed a recent increase in these cases, which total about 115 since 1993. “As a percentage of overall cases, cybersmear is minuscule,” says Blake Bell, an attorney for Simpson Thacher & Bartlett in New York who tracks the cases....

The lightweight, durable XO Laptop is sunlight-readable and shock- and moisture-resistant, important qualities to the large number of kids in the world whose classroom is outdoors. Better yet, the computers are only $100 each. Made with low-cost materials like glass fiber and low-tech production methods, the Mobility for Each One is a prosthetic foot that costs only $8 to produce. The prototype uses the same compression-propulsion technology in fancy prosthetics that even allows wearers to run....

Joe Biden, Cory Booker, Julian Castro, Joe Sestak, and Marianne Williamson will all appear at the LGBTQ Presidential Forum, livestreaming from Coe College’s Sinclair Auditorium in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on September 20. All Democratic presidential candidates actively campaigning in Iowa have been invited to participate, with more expected to confirm in the coming weeks.

Both Sanders and Biden followed several state-level Democrats in demanding a 90-day or three-month moratorium in tenants paying rent to landlords. After nationwide U.S. confirmed cases of coronavirus surpassed 100,000 Friday, Biden concurred with California Governor Gavin Newsom’s executive order protecting renters from eviction as a direct result of medical or employment issues tied to COVID-19. Sanders offered his support on Saturday to New York State Senator Mike Gianaris, who is leading “#CancelRent” calls, and who proposed Senate Bill 8125A Friday to suspend rent payments for small businesses and tenants who’ve either had their paychecks eliminated or reduced by the coronavirus quarantine....

DHS said in a statement to Newsweek that the agency “conducted a thorough review of the July 2019 expedited removal designation,” and that recession “was consistent with the Department’s need to prioritize its limited enforcement resources … by utilizing expedited removal as a border enforcement tool for certain recent entrants.” The document to be published Monday in the Federal Registry comes as hundreds of thousands of migrants continue to try to cross the border every month....

White House officials Brian Deese, Arati Prabhakar, Cecilia Rouse and Jake Sullivan penned a letter Friday as a “roadmap to mitigate cryptocurrencies’ risks.” In light of strenuous implosions and collapses across the crypto market in 2022, they vowed on behalf of the Biden administration to continue to ensure cryptocurrencies cannot undermine financial stability, to protect investors, and to hold bad actors accountable. “Congress could also make our jobs harder and worsen risks to investors and to the financial system,” the letter reads....

Biden met with administration officials Monday afternoon to discuss solutions to deal with the high inflation many in the United States continue to grapple with. Reporters were allowed in the room for the meeting, and several lobbed questions to Biden at the end of it. Doocy pressed Biden on whether or not he believes inflation will be a “political liability in the midterms.” “It’s a great asset—more inflation. What a stupid son of a b****,” Biden sarcastically quipped, not appearing to intend for the remark to be heard by others....

Jarrett was asked during an interview on Fox News about who should feel “worse about their legal fate” in handling classified records. “I think President Biden is more at criminal risk here because Trump had the ability to declassify documents…he can do it on his own. He doesn’t have to tell anybody,” Jarrett said. Trump is being investigated by the Department of Justice (DOJ) for keeping hundreds of highly classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate....

Biden gave a scathing rebuke of his Republican opponent at a campaign stop in Bucks County, Pennsylvania Saturday morning. The Democrat criticized the president for downplaying the severity of the pandemic in the early stages—hours after the U.S. reported about 84,000 new COVID cases on Friday night. “I told him at the debate, we’re not learning how to live with it,” Biden said. “We’re learning how to die with it....

“This guy is brutal,” he told reporters as he arrived at the White House on Monday morning after spending the weekend at his Wilmington, Delaware residence. “And what’s happening in Bucha is outrageous, and everyone’s seen it.” “I think it is a war crime,” the president continued. Ukraine has accused Moscow’s military forces of carrying out a massacre in Bucha, a city located 23 miles northwest of the capital Kyiv....

Biden notched expected wins in New York, Illinois, California and other states along the east and west coasts. Trump won the coveted swing states of Florida and Ohio. Meanwhile, other key states like Georgia, Pennsylvania and North Carolina—as well as the midwestern states of Michigan and Wisconsin—swayed in the breeze. Here are the updated electoral college results after Biden took the lead over Trump, based on reports from CNN, Fox News, ABC and the Associated Press:...

Three new state polls published Wednesday found Biden leading Trump by single digits in Arizona, Ohio and Wisconsin. In two of the three polled states, the presumptive Democratic nominee’s lead was outside the margin of error. Among voters in Arizona, Biden was found to have a 4-point lead over the president, with 46 percent of state voters telling pollsters they would back the Democratic candidate. Eleven percent said they were either voting for a third party candidate, not voting at all, or still undecided....
