Donald Trump’s decision to federalize Washington, D.C., turned a long-simmering anxiety into open confrontation. On paper, the results look impressive: robberies and car break-ins down by more than 40 percent, overall violent crime dropping double digits in a single week. For some residents, that means finally walking home at night without scanning every shadow, after…
Beets are considered a superfood because their natural nitrates turn into nitric oxide, which relaxes and widens blood vessels. This improves circulation and oxygen delivery, helping with energy, endurance, and clearer thinking. Their high fiber content supports digestion, reduces inflammation, and helps steady blood sugar, making them useful for balanced energy and gut health. Beets…
Sen. Cory Booker, often mentioned as a rising Democratic leader and possible 2028 presidential candidate, is now married. The New Jersey senator wed real estate professional Alexis Lewis in two small ceremonies in November 2025 — one at a federal courthouse in Newark and another in Washington, D.C. Booker first announced their engagement in September,…
Sleeping without clothes allows your body to settle into its natural temperature rhythm, instead of fighting layers of fabric that trap heat and sweat. A cooler body signals to your brain that it’s time to rest, helping melatonin flow more freely and deepening your sleep. Over time, this can mean fewer restless nights, fewer wake-ups…
Zohran Mamdani, 34, was elected as New York City’s new mayor, becoming the first Muslim, first South Asian, and first Africa-born person to lead the city.

Graham Platner’s ascent turns a sleepy Senate race into a referendum on how far democracy can bend before it breaks. He doesn’t talk about “rebalancing” or “reforms.” He talks about subpoenas, term limits, and stripping the Court of jurisdiction on abortion and voting rights. He names justices onstage. He calls their decisions “attacks,” not opinions….
Most McDonald’s employees are trained to fear one thing: the unknown customer who’s secretly judging everything they do. Mystery shoppers, or “Gapbusters,” show up unannounced, order like anyone else, and then file detailed reports that can affect bonuses, schedules, even job security. The only clue staff sometimes have? The customer who insists on getting a…
Bernie Sanders is trying to force a choice before it’s too late: let AI deepen inequality and militarize the planet, or harness it to rewrite the social contract. His Thirty-Two Hour Workweek Act is more than a labor proposal; it’s a line in the sand over who owns the gains of automation. Either workers trade…
On a Sunday meant for worship and ordinary rituals of faith, Richmond Road Baptist Church became the scene of an unthinkable loss. Within minutes, three families were changed forever: a state trooper wounded on the roadside, two men shot on the church grounds, and two women—mother and daughter—killed in the very place they expected to…
For years, Trump’s political power has been fused to a single idea: relentless stamina. He mocked Biden as a man who naps through history, bragged he could go without sleep, and turned late-night rallies into proof of his dominance. That’s why the Cabinet-room image hits so hard. In that frozen moment, the president doesn’t look…
