Obama's Top Intelligence Adviser Resigns

In recent months we have heard much about President Biden’s low poll numbers and Americans’ negative views of the economy. It is therefore not surprising that numerous media pundits have rushed to entertain the idea of a Trump victory in 2024. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] Let’s first start with some obvious caveats to keep in mind. First, a substantial amount of Biden’s lagging approval is coming from his own party: since 2022, between 15 and 22 percent of Democrats have neglected to voice approval for Biden.

Denver homeless advocates this month have demanded that city leaders step in to help 42 people who faced a potential return to the streets, two years after the city worked with service providers to move them into subsidized housing. The “rapid rehousing” vouchers they received, providing significant monthly rent support, are now expiring — highlighting what advocates see as a limitation in such short-term solutions to homelessness. Members of Housekeys Action Network Denver held up signs during the Denver City Council’s April 15 meeting that repurposed the In-N-Out Burger chain’s logo, with the wording: “Inside-N-Out on the street again.” Officials with the city’s housing department point to the overall success of the 2022 rapid rehousing program, which moved nearly 200 people into places of their own.

By now, you've heard about smelly Donald Trump sleep-farting in court daily, and I'm sure that Eric Trump heard about that, too. Eric told Fox News's Maria Bartiromo how great his father's "stamina" is and said he's "never seen anything like it in my life." That's a tell. Donald says that or says something is worse than "the world has ever seen" when he lies. "He's going all over the place," Eric said of his father, who has been golfing on his days off where, hopefully, he's not farting on his Mar-a-Lago guests.

Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf resigned on Monday ahead of a vote of no confidence on Wednesday that appeared he would lose.

When Michael Cohen takes the stand in Donald Trump’s criminal trial, as he’s expected to, it will mark a climax in the real-life tale of ambition and betrayal that has unfolded between the two men over nearly two decades.
