In the early hours of Sunday morning, Hezbollah launched approximately 150 rockets into northern Israel, most of which were intercepted, according to Israeli officials. Hezbollah claims to have launched numerous Fadi 1 and Fadi 2 missiles at the Ramat David airbase in Haifa. The operation came in response to the fatal two-day pager and walkie-talkie explosion campaign widely attributed to Israel, the group claimed on Telegram. According to the Associated Press, one rocket caused damage...

At least two students at Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania have been suspended from the swim team after a report that a racial slur was scratched onto a student’s body, officials said. Officials received “a deeply concerning report of a racial slur being scratched on to a student using a plastic or ceramic tool,” officials at the liberal arts school said in a statement last week. “This is a serious report, which is being actively assessed through the student conduct process,”...

A student-athlete at Gettysburg College allegedly scratched a racial slur on a swim teammate’s chest with a box cutter in a disturbing incident that has sparked an investigation at the small Pennsylvania liberal arts college, according to school officials and one of the swimmer’s families.   The student who wrote out the slur on his peer’s body is reportedly no longer with the school and the student with the etched word on him was initially barred from swimming for the small school...

Astudent accused of scratching a racial slur into another student's chest is no longer enrolled at Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania, the college has said. On Sunday afternoon, Anne Ehrlich, vice president for college life, provided the update in a campuswide email to students at the private liberal arts school in Gettysburg, according to The Gettysburgian student newspaper.

Online dating may be partially to blame for an increase in income inequality in the US in recent decades, according to a research paper. Since the emergence of dating apps that allow people to look for a partner based on criteria including education, Americans have increasingly been marrying someone more like themselves. That accounts for about half of the rise in income inequality among households between 1980 and 2020, researchers from the Federal Reserve Banks of Dallas and St. Louis...

Swiping dating app profiles goes beyond figuring out who gives you the ick — it may also encourage wealth disparity. Nearly 60 million Americans report using dating apps like Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge, where you can filter by age, career, education, and other marketable traits. But using the apps to find the ‘one’ means you could be contributing to income inequality, according to research from the Federal Reserve Banks of St. Louis and Dallas and Haverford College....

With an end-of-month deadline to avert a government shutdown approaching, House Speaker Mike Johnson unveiled the latest plan to temporarily fund the government on Sunday after congressional leaders reached an agreement on a short-term spending deal following the House's rejection of Johnson's opening gambit last week. "Since we fell a bit short of the goal line, an alternative plan is now required," Johnson said in a letter to colleagues announcing the new plan on Sunday. Last...

Multiple MAGA supporters are angry over the short-term spending bill that House Speaker Mike Johnson announced on Sunday to avoid a government shutdown, which does not include a Donald Trump-backed election measure. The stopgap move, set to fund the government through December 20, notably excludes The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE Act), which would require proof of citizenship in the voter registration process. Last week, Trump publicly urged...

Congressional leaders announced a bipartisan agreement Sunday on a short-term spending bill that is expected to be approved and sent to the White House this week to head off a possible partial government shutdown when the new budget year begins Oct. 1. The House is set to vote early this week on a three-month continuing resolution that will fund the government at the current fiscal year’s spending levels until Dec. 20. The bill does not include the controversial Safeguard American Voter...

Of course not. As Freud never said, sometimes a plan to deport illegal immigrants is just a plan to deport illegal immigrants. Trump’s rhetoric about mass deportations, which has been more extravagant and pungent than usual, has catalyzed more denunciations of the former president as an incipient fascist. We are supposed to believe that it is a page from the classic fascist playbook for a politician to watch a country get flooded with illegal aliens, permitted into the country in...
