Like President Joe Biden, who recently invited Adams to the White House to discuss gun violence, the Democratic nominee hails from the more moderate wing of the Democratic Party. He is a former Republican and previously served in the New York Police Department, hardly the profile you would expect for the leading Democratic Party figure in America’s most populous city. Adams emerged on top in a crowded race by addressing a core concern of the city’s voters: rising violent crime....

Senator Elizabeth Warren, of Massachusetts, and Representative Cori Bush, of Missouri, introduced a new bill Tuesday that would direct the secretary of Health and Human Services to implement a ban on evictions as deaths from COVID-19 are at their highest levels since early March. The bill would also amend a section of the Public Health Service Act, granting Health and Human Services permanent authority to implement eviction moratoriums during public health crises....

As common as happy hours and America’s drinking culture have become, it’s hard to imagine a time when adults were unable to unwind with a beer or gin and tonic after a long day. But such a dry era, when people were prohibited from manufacturing, selling and transporting alcohol in America, did exist. In fact, Monday marks the 100th anniversary of the enactment of the Volstead Act, the law authored by U....

After going on a social media tirade in which he called out celebrities, the Kardashians, and fashion critics, West sat down for an exclusive interview on Tucker Carlson Tonight. Within their wide-ranging interview, West spoke about his support for Donald Trump, why he wore a “White Lives Matter” t-shirt at his Yeezy fashion show in Paris, and he also suggested that abortion and singer Lizzo’s weight were examples of the “genocide of the Black race....

The Somerset County salary board barred district attorney Jeffrey Lynn Thomas from collecting his $185,000 salary after being charged with sexual assault in September 2021. The board also determined that his salary will now be collected to acting district attorney Molly Metzgar. Thomas’ law license was temporarily suspended in October. This ruling follows a law that was passed by Gov. Tom Wolf in November that deems the office of district attorney as vacant if the person that currently has the mantle is disbarred....

Wyatt Dean Lamb, 27, faces a first-degree murder charge and 10 counts of child abuse after Athian Rivera, 2, was found dead in a dumpster on February 19 near the apartment where Lamb lived with Rivera’s mother, Kassandra Orona, and her two other children.

There. It was as if a dam had broken. Within hours other officials and experts followed. Tom Ridge, President George W. Bush’s director of Homeland Security, contradicted his previous week’s reassurance of the amateurish quality of the pathogen sent to Daschle, admitting that terrorists “intended to use this anthrax as a weapon.” Sheepish scientists conceded that, while they might know a lot about bacteriology, they’d known next to nothing about how mail is handled (shaken, pounded and compressed) or what size envelope pores are....

That’s because in June, the Supreme Court will rule on the constitutionality of Mississippi’s regressive 15-week abortion ban in the case of Dobbs v. Jackson. With the upcoming verdict, many legal analysts predict that the Supreme Court (SCOTUS) will gut the precedent set by Roe v. Wade, which has guaranteed safe and legal access to abortion for the last 50 years. Once federal protection is lost, 26 statewide anti-abortion laws will be codified into law, with many even more restrictive than Mississippi’s 15-week ban....

The protester, who wore a T-shirt reading “White Lives Matter Too Much,” was then chased away by those on site defending the statue, before the protester ultimately stood behind police officers who were present. One person from the crowd who was angry at the protester for his attack can be heard yelling “Now you want the cops…when it’s good for you now you want them,” as police stood between the crowd and the attacker....

According to VGC, on Monday, six members of the Scottish National Party tabled an Early Day Motion which called for legislative proposals that prohibit the resale of video game consoles and computer parts at a price greater than the “Manufacturer’s Recommended Retail Price.” For those unfamiliar, Early Day Motions are used by Members of Parliament who formally call for a debate in the House to spotlight specific issues. In this case, it’s the resale of gaming consoles....

Since the next-gen console was launched in November, both the regular PS5, priced at $499, and the PS5 Digital Edition, priced at $399, have sold out within hours as soon as stock drops have landed. Speaking on Wednesday as Sony announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2020, the company chief financial officer Hiroki Totoki admitted demand was likely to outstrip supply for the coming months. “It is difficult for us to increase production of the PS5 amid the shortage of semiconductors and other components,” Totoki said in a briefing....

Williamson has been named the “NBA 2K” next-gen cover athlete over the likes of Luka Doncic and Ja Morant despite suiting up just 19 games so far in his rookie season because of a knee injury. The No. 1 overall pick in last year’s draft remains one of the most exciting prospects in the league and a potential superstar for years to come. He averaged 23.6 points and 6.8 rebounds per game before the coronavirus pandemic halted the campaign....

Daquan James has been posting clips to his YouTube page, @daquanjames0, showing how the whopper patties and chicken are prepared. The first in his recent four-part series shows frozen burger patties, as he filmed stacks of boxes bearing the chain’s logo....

A clip posted to TikTok has revealed that the mammals suck up water through their mouth. The video, shared by Clevergirl757 last month, is captioned: “Who knew camels drank water like this? I thought camels lapped up water like dogs.” The footage shows a pair of the desert dwellers heading to a trough, where they dunk their heads, ensuring their lips are just below the water line and opening their jaws so they can take on large quantities of liquid quickly....

The find, believed to be central Germany’s first brewery, was excavated at the Ring Sanctuary of Poemmelte located in the Salzland district in the state of Saxony-Anhalt in August 2022. Poemmelte, dubbed the German Stonehenge, is a 4,000-year-old ring sanctuary and reportedly the first central European monumental complex of primarily sacred importance. Excavations in the complex, which have been ongoing for the past five years and have yielded more than 10,000 findings, will be complete in September 2022....

An animal lover has set up a TikTok page dedicated to the four-legged friends, suitably called Cute Donkey. They share numerous videos of the creatures in poor conditions, with overgrown, dirty and even curling hooves. Their most popular video, first shared late last month, has already amassed more than 19 million views, with people fascinated by the pedicure process.
