But for many workers today, that promise feels more like a mirage. What used to represent financial consistency now feels increasingly like…

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt is known, for better or worse, as more than just a mouthpiece for the Oval Office and President Trump. She’s a staunch defender of the current president’s policies, even when fact-checked. She’s become the brunt of many jokes for her brash and unfettered loyalty, but it’s usually based on…
A judge denied Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman’s last-minute motion on Thursday to delay Erik and Lyle Menendez‘s resentencing hearing. The hearing is now set to move forward as planned on Thursday, with the Menendez brothers appearing in virtual attendance from a prison near San Diego. Hochman’s Wednesday night motion contended that the hearing should be rescheduled to give the court and presiding judge Micheal Jesic enough time to obtain a risk assessment report of the brothers that was requested in February by California Governor Gavin Newsom and conducted by the state’s Board of Parole Hearings. Jesic clearly disagreed and rejected Hochman’s motion early Thursday. Hochman argued during a press conference Thursday morning that the report “constituted additional facts that the court should consider in deciding whether or not the Menendez brothers do pose a risk of danger to society.” “These additional facts are based on a review that the parole board does that is comprehensive,” Hochman stated.

“The Daily Show” host Ronny Chieng is starting to suspect the United States may be on the wrong side of history when it comes to the tariff war between the U.S. and China. Wednesday night’s opening monologue was entirely devoted to the issue, starting with Chinese President Xi Jinping’s response to American Vice President JD Vance repeatedly calling Chinese citizens “peasants.” “Let those American peasants wail before the 5,000-year-old civilization of the Chinese nation,” Xi said. “F–k, that went so hard,” Chieng said on Wednesday night. “Oh no, are we the Drake in this beef? Are we the certified peasants?” The late night host then countered that Xi’s 5,000-year-old flex isn’t as intimidating as Xi may think it is. “Half the people here don’t even think the Earth is that old,” Chineg said. “Also, let’s just be real. There’s no way that Americans are the peasants here. Do peasants have medical debt? Didn’t think so. Checkmate, China.” As the segment continued, “The Daily Show” played a news clip discussing Ch
Note: This story contains spoilers from “The Wheel of Time” Season 3, Episode 8. “The Wheel of Time” capped a successful, momentum-gathering third season with Rand (Josha Stradowski) proclaiming himself to the Aiel, Mat (Dónal Finn) confronting the series’ “horror elves” for the first time and a second book-deviating death in as many weeks – all to showrunner Rafe Judkins’ plan. For many viewers, Season 3 of “The Wheel of Time” was a major leap forward in the series compared to the first two entries. With the show earning the strongest reviews of the show’s run by the end of the season, Judkins told TheWrap it was a part of his initial pitch that the series would really hit its stride in the third year — which is proving true. “This is the point in the books where they became an explosive worldwide success,” he said. “It’s the part of the books where some of the most uniquely ‘Wheel of Time’ things happen because you’ve done all this groundwork to set up this world so that you can do an episode where you’re f
