According to a report from the Chicago Tribune and recent court filings, former Democrat Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is being sued by JPMorgan Chase Bank due to unpaid credit card debt.

Astronomers have found a planet orbiting a dead sun with a never-before seen atmosphere, and it’s shaped like a lemon. The exoplanet, dubbed PSR J2322-2650 b, has a helium-and-carbon atmosphere, something researchers say they’ve never seen before. The air could be full of soot clouds, and deep inside, carbon could even clump together into solid […] The post A Strange New World: A New Planet with an Unusual Atmosphere appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

People Magazine and several other outlets are getting dragged for the headlines they used to report the death of cartoonist Scott Adams on Tuesday. Adams, best known for creating the satirical comic strip “Dilbert,” died at the age of 68 following a terminal cancer diagnosis. Most mainstream outlets stuck to the facts or buried their criticisms of Adams deep in the article copy. The Left despised him for being a conservative and a huge fan of Donald Trump. But some outlets put their bias front and center. People ran an article by staff writer Victoria Eden, which had the headline: “Scott Adams, Disgraced Dilbert Creator, Dies at 68,” and followed up with the subheading, “’Dilbert’ was pulled from wide circulation after Adams’ racist rant in 2023.” Social media followers expressed their frustration over the phrasing. “You cannot hate the media enough,” one X reply said in response to the article being tweeted from the official People X account. That tweet was later deleted, but the article with the same headline still remains on the website as of Tuesday afternoon. The outlet also removed Edel’s name from the online article and replaced it with “People Staff” after commenters began calling her out by name on the social media platform. It wasn’t just People disparaging Adams as they reported on his death. While The New York Times selected a neutral headline on their website, the accompanying social post was more opinionated. “Breaking News: Scott Adams, whose comic strip ‘Dilbert’ was a sensation until he made racist comments on his podcast, has died at 68,” the legacy outlet shared in an X post. “Stuff like this used to make me angry, but I honestly laughed as your hack behavior is too predictable. You will be hated until your dying days, you have no loved ones, when you die, people will rejoice,” one response to the NYT post said. “You have no shame. Unreal,” echoed another. BBC News went with the headline: “Controversial Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams dies aged 68.” NPR also referred to Adams as a “controversial cartoonist” in their article. “Scott Adams, ‘Dilbert’ Creator Who Courted Controversy, Dead at 68,” the headline from far-Left outlet Rolling Stone said. Some X users contrasted this phrasing to how mainstream outlets covered other notorious figures like convicted sex predator Jeffrey Epstein. For Epstein’s death, The New York Times ran the headline, “Jeffrey Epstein Dead in Suicide at Jail, Spurring Inquiries.” The controversy these outlets reference goes back to the “Dilbert” cartoon being dropped from major newspapers following an incident in 2023. During a podcast episode, Adams discussed a Rasmussen poll, which found that nearly half of black Americans were unable to agree with the phrase, “It’s okay to be white.” Adams’ reply suggesting that the poll results indicate that black Americans are a “hate group” went viral. “Based on the current way things are going, the best advice I would give to white people is to get the hell away from black people. Just get the f*** away,” Adams said at the time after commenting further on race relations and crime. “Wherever you have to go, just get away. Because there’s no fixing this. This can’t be fixed. So I don’t think it makes any sense as a white citizen of America to try to help black citizens anymore. It doesn’t make sense. There’s no longer a rational impulse. So I’m going to back off on being helpful to black America because it doesn’t seem like it pays off.”

WASHINGTON—The Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division says there is no merit to an MS Now report alleging that top DOJ officials quit their jobs over an alleged division decision not to investigate the fatal ICE shooting of Renee Good. The report from the outlet formerly known as MSNBC alleged that at least four officials from the Civil Rights Division resigned “in protest over the administration’s handling” of Good’s death, citing “three people briefed on the departures.” MS Now reported that their frustration was specifically with Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon for her decision not to investigate the incident, writing that the departures “represent the most significant mass resignation at the Justice Department since February.” There’s a problem with this reporting, however: according to Dhillon and her staff, there has not been a single resignation over the incident. “This is fake news,” Dhillon told The Daily Wire of the story. “No division employee quit.” Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon (Photo by Andrew Harnik/Getty Images) Three people applied for early retirement the day before the shooting, which occurred on January 7 in Minneapolis, Dhillon said. Those three people gave notice weeks before the shooting took place, and the fourth person mentioned in the story put in for retirement in early December, over a month before the shooting took place. Two of the other people that the MS Now story references have not resigned and are currently at their desks working, The Daily Wire has learned. While they have “apparently told the press they intend to resign,” Dhillon said, “our office has not received notice of any resignations.” “The media’s never-ending attempts to drum up drama and strife within the DOJ are exhausting,” Dhillon said. “My team and I will not let it distract us from our mission of protecting the civil rights of ALL Americans. We thank those employees retiring for their years of service to the Department and our nation.” The FBI is investigating the January 7 incident, the ICE agent’s actions, and the networks of activist groups funding anti-ICE protesting as well as Good’s possible connections to such networks in Minnesota, a law enforcement source confirmed to The Daily Wire. As for a possible DOJ Civil Rights Division investigation, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche says “there is currently no basis for a criminal civil rights investigation.” A DOJ official told The Daily Wire that ICE’s Office of Professional Responsibility is conducting its own investigation. “As with any officer-involved shooting, each law enforcement agency has an internal investigation protocol, including DHS,” the DOJ official shared. “As such, ICE OPR has its own investigation underway. This runs parallel to any FBI investigation.” Video footage from that day shows Good hitting an ICE agent with her car, whereupon he exclaims as he fires at her, fatally shooting her in her car. President Donald Trump’s administration has vehemently argued that the act was one of domestic terrorism against the ICE agent, who was previously dragged by a car as he attempted to carry out his orders. MS Now did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Daily Wire.

Robotic lawn mowers have been around for years, but many homeowners have hesitated to adopt them. Complex setup, boundary wires, and safety concerns—especially around kids and pets—have kept automated lawn care on the fringe.

CES is known for spectacle, but sometimes the most compelling booths are the ones that move. That was the case for Xtand at CES 2026, where its North Hall space stayed busy with constant motion. Instead of static displays, visitors encountered treadmills, open floor space, and people actively testing knee support technology in real time. […]
