Like most town halls, Ocasio-Cortez reiterated her goals as the representative for New York’s 14th congressional district, alongside messaging about the Green New Deal, her new “Just Society” legislation and the impeachment of President Trump. Toward the end of the town hall question-and-answer session, the alleged constituent stood up and spoke with fervor about the state of our world and climate change. “We’re not going to be here for much longer because of the climate crisis!...

Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) said on Facebook that it had received multiple calls from members of the public who had spotted the bear north of Durango—a city in the southwest of the state.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter on Thursday about his lengthy career, which includes creating iconic series such as Sex and the City and Beverly Hills, 90210, Star answered a question addressing French critics who had less than kind comments about the series. “Yes, no cliché is spared, not even the poorest,” the review for Premiere stated. The Premiere review also said that Star’s portrayal of French people was unfair, depicting them as lazy and sexist....

Eight different states have joined the investigation following incriminating reports that started with a Wall Street Journal story. Those reports said Meta Platforms, the new name for Instagram’s parent company, formerly known as Facebook, knew the potential harm the photo-heavy app presented to teenagers. In particular, the reports focused on the mental health and body image concerns for teenage girls, The Associated Press reported. Following the Wall Street Journal report, a variety of prominent media outlets took the rare step of coming together as a consortium in order to wade through documents leaked by whistleblower France Haugen....

“The word ’emergency’ is tricky to use because ’emergency’ is a word that anti-democratic people use all the time to justify non-democratic measures,” Yale philosophy professor Jason Stanley told Newsweek in an interview on Thursday. “But, what we have is a Republican Party that has just completely become the party of ‘us versus them.’ They have not just accepted this; they have become champions of it.” “Trump is trying to define America in a very negative way,” he said....

The claim comes from Allan Lichtman, a Distinguished Professor of History at American University known for his predictive model that has accurately forecast the winner of seven of the last eight U.S. presidential elections. “He’s got $400 million-plus in loans coming due. His brand is failing. His businesses are failing. He has a huge IRS audit. He doesn’t hold office anymore. He’s lost his Twitter. That’s a lot of baggage for somebody to run for president,” Lichtman told the Miami Herald newspaper columnist Andrés Oppenheimer, in reference to Trump....

On Friday evening, Congress delivered a major victory for the Biden administration, with the House’s passage of the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill, a key portion of the president’s legislative agenda, which has been stalled for months....
