Judge finds ‘profound’ missteps in U.S. probe of FBI ex-chief James Comey

WASHINGTON - A U.S. judge on Monday found evidence of misconduct in how a federal prosecutor closely aligned with President Donald Trump secured criminal charges against James Comey, and ordered that grand jury materials be turned over to the former FBI chief’s defense lawyers.Alexandria, Virginia-based U.S. Magistrate Judge William Fitzpatrick found that Lindsey Halligan, the Trump-appointed U.S. attorney leading the case, may have made significant legal errors in presenting evidence and instructing grand jurors who were weighing whether to charge Comey — mistakes that could have tainted the case.“The record points to a disturbing pattern of profound investigative missteps, missteps that led an FBI agent and a prosecutor to potentially undermine the integrity of the grand jury proceeding,” Fitzpatrick wrote in his ruling.

Cork man at centre of murder probe was 'much-valued' worker at Northside Community Enterprises

A man arrested on Sunday morning was still being questioned on Monday evening, as Mr O’Connell’s work colleagues at Northside Community Enterprises in Farranferris tried to come to terms with his death. The 38-year-old had been working there for a number of months and is understood to have been well-liked. A spokeswoman for his employers said: “We are deeply saddened by the news of Mark's passing. Mark was a much-valued and respected employee of Northside Community Enterprises. We send our sincere condolences to Mark’s family and to everyone coming to terms with this dreadful news." A post mortem examination was conducted on Mr O’Connell’s remains on Sunday evening by assistant State pathologist, Dr Margaret Bolster. Although gardaí say they are not releasing the results of the autopsy for “operational reasons”, sources have confirmed that the results have led to the launch of a murder investigation. A number of children were believed to be inside the house at the time of the incident. The injured man was rushed to hospital by ambulance following a call to the emergency services. Neighbours were unaware of the incident until they awoke later on Sunday morning to hear of the tragedy and to see gardaí on the scene. Those who had earlier witnessed the ambulance had assumed it was responding to an emergency sick call. The 55-year-old man in custody on Monday evening was being held under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, under which he can be questioned for up to 24 hours before being released or charged. It is understood he availed of breaks in questioning. He was being questioned at Gurranabraher garda station. Mr O’Connell went to the house in the early hours of Sunday morning, and gardaí are working to establish the lead-up to his death. It is understood that the two men were known to each other. Neither of the men lived at the house in Hollyville. A family liaison officer has been appointed to support Mr O’Connell’s family and keep them updated of any developments in the probe. A detailed forensic and technical examination of the scene was carried out on Sunday while door-to-door enquiries were also conducted in the area. CCTV footage has also been harvested in the locality. No funeral arrangements have yet been published for Mr O’Connell. Gardai made a renewed appeal for witnesses on Monday and were looking in particular for any camera footage from the area to help them build a picture of the circumstances surrounding Mr O’Connell’s death. “Anyone with available camera footage, including dashcam recordings, from those who were in the vicinity of Hollyville, Hollyhill, Cork City, between 3.30am and 4.30am on Sunday morning, 16th November 2025, is asked to make it available to investigating Gardaí. Anyone with information is asked to contact Gurranabraher Garda Station on (021) 4946200, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda station,” said a spokesman.

NFL Legend Bernie Kosar Shares Update Video After Undergoing Liver Transplant in Wake of Canceled Surgery, Internal Bleeding

Former Cleveland Browns quarterback Bernie Kosar has kept fans in the loop leading up to his liver transplant — and he just shared his first post-op video. The 61-year-old NFL alum, who revealed that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and liver failure last summer, got the surgery in the early morning of Monday, Nov. 17. Hours later, he posted a clip from his hospital bed was on X. “Hey, I’m out,” he said in the 11-second clip, “and I’m feeling good.” Kosar added that he’s feeling “ready to enjoy the rest of the week, and the rest of our lives,” before signing off with his catchphrase: “You matter.” The postoperative footage is the latest of several videos the Youngstown, Ohio native has shared as his health has declined due to several factors in recent months. The NFL alum “has been battling advanced liver cirrhosis, early-stage Parkinson’s disease, and now a sudden and dangerous series of internal-bleeding complications,” according to a GoFundMe created to assist with his medical costs. Kosar was previously set to undergo a liver transplant, but things took a “frightening turn” after doctors learned that the original donated liver was infected, according to the GoFundMe. “Since then,” the fundraiser reads, he “has undergone multiple ‘aggressive procedures’ to stop internal bleeding." A second liver transplant was then scheduled for 5 a.m. on Nov. 17. Kosar kept fans updated until the last moment, sharing a clip of himself at the hospital just before heading into surgery. “Well, it may not be Victory Monday on the football field, but here we are at 4:23 in the morning, University Hospital, it’s absolutely Victory Monday for me,” said the NFL alum. “So looking forward to literally heading on down right now to get that liver transplant.” Never miss a story — sign up for PEOPLE's free daily newsletter to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. "And, you know, as you get ready for something monumental and transformative like this in your life you can’t help but be a little reflective, and as I go down here today I think about all the awesome, awesome support,” added Kosar, "and fans out there and my amazing children and family." On the previous day, the Browns legend revealed that his liver transplant was on the books in an X update. Celebrating alongside two hospital employees, Kosar said, “We just got the good call!” "Good news is in!!! We are set for 5 AM,” he added in the caption. “Thank you all for the thoughts, prayers, and support — it truly means the world to me. U Matter.” Kosar first revealed his health diagnoses in an interview with Cleveland Magazine published in July 2024. The retired athlete was diagnosed with cirrhosis, the third of four stages of liver failure, in March 2023, and was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in February 2024, he said at the time. He also said he had suffered a near-death experience as a result of the diseases. “I went into the hospital and got a massive blood transfusion," he told the magazine. "It was like: ‘How are you alive? How are you moving? Because your hemoglobin levels are so low.' " Kosar also told the magazine that, as evidenced by his latest video diaries, he “strongly believe[s] in the power of positive thinking.” "I believe that positive energy can be manifested in our brains, and I love to live in the space of positivity. I want to think about things that are helpful," he said. "I visualize good health. It’s not so much that I’m trying to sell it to myself, or that I’m in denial, as it is choosing to be positive,” he added. “Because everybody’s got something. We’ve all got health issues to some degree, we all have bumps in the road."

Employers rostering staff over Xmas holidays put on notice

BHP knocked back requests from workers who wanted to spend Christmas with their families for various reasons. One wanted to spend the holiday with his ill mother, after his father had died earlier that year. The family was religious and traditionally attended church together. He was made to work regardless, and his mother died a short time later. “He continues to feel guilt and a deep sadness” and has begun drinking to help come to terms with the situation, evidence provided in court said. ‘This decision means employers cannot simply expect employees to work on a public holiday or treat that as a part of an ordinary working pattern.’Lawyer Clancy King Other workers included a single mother, who had to leave her 11- and 15-year-old daughters on Christmas Day and in a desperate move was forced to pay someone from her girls’ drama class $500 to look after them. Other workers described emotional scenes when they had to leave their spouses and kids to work on the holiday. The national employment standards, under which the Mining and Energy Union’s case against BHP was made, apply to all workers regardless of collective agreements, except for some state and government employees.

Hamas rejects UN Gaza resolution, says international force would become party to conflict

ReutersPalestinians sit next to a fire, amid a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, in Gaza City. -Hamas rejected the United Nations Security Council passing a U.S.-drafted resolution endorsing U.S. President Donald Trump's Gaza plan, saying it fails to meet Palestinians' rights and demands and seeks to impose an international trusteeship on the enclave that Palestinians and resistance factions oppose."Assigning the international force with tasks and roles inside the Gaza Strip, including disarming the resistance, strips it of its neutrality, and turns it into a party to the conflict in favor of the occupation," the group added.UN Security Council adopts US resolution on Trump's Gaza planThe UN Security Council on Monday voted to adopt a U.S.-drafted resolution endorsing President Donald Trump's plan to end the war in Gaza and authorizing an international stabilization force for the Palestinian enclave. Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas agreed last month to the first phase of Trump's 20-point plan for Gaza - a ceasefire in their two-year war and a hostage-release deal - but the UN resolution is seen as vital to legitimizing a transitional governance body and reassuring countries that are considering sending troops to Gaza.The text of the resolution says member states can take part in the Trump-led Board of Peace envisioned as a transitional authority that would oversee reconstruction and economic recovery of Gaza. It also authorizes the international stabilization force, which would ensure a process of demilitarizing Gaza, including by decommissioning weapons and destroying military infrastructure.Hamas, in a statement, reiterated that it will not disarm and argued that its fight against Israel is legitimate resistance, potentially pitting the militant group against the international force authorized by the resolution.Live Events"The resolution imposes an international guardianship mechanism on the Gaza Strip, which our people and their factions reject," Hamas said in its statement, issued after the adoption of the resolution.Mike Waltz, the U.S. ambassador to the UN, said the resolution, which includes Trump's 20-point plan as an annex, "charts a possible pathway for Palestinian self-determination ... where rockets will give way to olive branches and there is a chance to agree on a political horizon.""It dismantles Hamas' grip, it ensures Gaza rises free from terror's shadow, prosperous and secure," Waltz told the council ahead of the vote.Russia, which holds a veto on the Security Council, earlier signaled potential opposition to the resolution but abstained from the vote, allowing the resolution to pass. China also abstained.The Palestinian Authority issued a statement welcoming the resolution, and said it is ready to take part in its implementation. Diplomats said the authority's endorsement of the resolution last week was key to preventing a Russian veto.'PATHWAY' TO STATEHOODThe resolution has proven controversial in Israel because it references a future possibility of statehood for the Palestinians.The resolution's text says that "conditions may finally be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood" once the Palestinian Authority has carried out a reform program and Gaza's redevelopment has advanced."The United States will establish a dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians to agree on a political horizon for peaceful and prosperous coexistence," it says.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, under pressure from right-wing members of his government, said on Sunday that Israel remained opposed to a Palestinian state and pledged to demilitarize Gaza "the easy way or the hard way."Add as a Reliable and Trusted News Source Add Now!

Jake Moody llega a Commanders desde el equipo de práctica de Bears para reemplazar a Matt Gay

Por HOWARD FENDRICH El pateador Matt Gay fue liberado por los Commanders el lunes, un día después de fallar dos intentos de gol de campo en una derrota en tiempo extra 16-13 ante los Dolphins de Miami en España, y una persona con conocimiento de la situación le dijo a The Associated Press que Washington lo reemplazó al firmar a Jake Moody del equipo de práctica de los Bears de Chicago. La persona habló con la AP bajo condición de anonimato porque los Commanders no anunciaron la incorporación de Moody. La actual racha de seis derrotas al hilo de Washington comenzó con una derrota 25-24 contra Chicago el 13 de octubre que terminó con Moody haciendo un gol de campo de 38 yardas para los Bears en la última jugada. Ese fue el primer juego de Moody con Chicago después de que los 49ers de San Francisco lo cortaran por fallar dos patadas en la semana uno de esta temporada. Fue una selección de tercera ronda del draft por los 49ers en 2023 y jugó para ellos en un Super Bowl. El domingo, Gay envió desviado a la derecha un intento de 56 yardas en los últimos segundos del cuarto período que habría roto un empate 13-13 con Miami y, con toda probabilidad, le habría dado a Washington (3-8) una victoria muy necesaria. También falló un intento de 51 yardas más temprano en el juego. El entrenador Dan Quinn dijo en una videollamada con reporteros el lunes que él y el gerente general Adam Peters se reunieron con Gay para darle la noticia. Peters firmó a Gay con un contrato de 4,35 millones de dólares garantizados en abril. “Un tipo realmente bueno. Así que, sí, realmente, decepcionado de que no haya funcionado. Simplemente sentimos que este es el cambio que necesitábamos”, dijo Quinn sobre Gay. “Simplemente no estamos haciendo esas patadas; no solo las de ayer. Queremos ver el panorama general de las cosas”, dijo Quinn. “En esa posición, el rendimiento — tienes que tenerlo.” Washington está entrando en su semana de descanso y no jugará de nuevo hasta recibir a los Broncos de Denver (9-2) el 30 de noviembre. Gay hizo 13 de 19 intentos de gol de campo esta temporada, una tasa de precisión del 68,4% que fue peor que la de todos menos dos pateadores en la NFL. Los fallos del domingo hicieron que Gay tuviera cuatro de nueve en intentos de 50 yardas o más en una liga donde esa distancia es casi automática para muchos.

Jonathan Bailey Steps Out in a Monochromatic Turtleneck and Suit at N.Y.C. “Wicked: For Good” Premiere

Jonathan Bailey has arrived! On Monday, Nov. 17, the actor, 37, stepped out for the New York City premiere of Wicked: For Good in a monochromatic suit and turtleneck. The actor paired his modernized suit, with a curved hem, with a pair of loafers and a watch with a black wrist strap. Never miss a story — sign up for PEOPLE's free daily newsletter to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. The actor, who was crowned this year's PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive, has been on a style streak and recently served up a dapper look at the Governors Awards in Los Angeles. On Sunday, Nov. 16, Bailey appeared on the star-studded red carpet in a sleek, all-black look — accented with a pop of "Glinda" pink. He wore a black suit jacket and slim-fitting black pants, paired with a pale pink shirt. At the London premiere of Wicked: For Good, the star, who plays Fiyero in the movie musical, opted for a slouchy gray suit and a coat decorated with a lapel honoring the U.K. holiday Remembrance Day. In his SMA interview with PEOPLE, Bailey opened up about his journey to finding confidence. "At various moments in my life, I’ve been like, 'I’ve got this,' which is sometimes met by a deep spike of fear and self-doubt," he said. "When I was really young, I was very confident about who I was, and maybe I lost that as I grew up. We’re all sort of trying to get back to the origin, aren’t we? But I was swimming in the sea about an hour ago with a good gang, and I felt all right in my skin." The actor, who rose to fame thanks to his roles in Bridgerton, Jurassic World: Rebirth and the Showtime series Fellow Travelers, also reflected on his career. “You get to a point where you look back and you go, ‘Wow,’ but you never for a second think that’s where you’re headed,” he told PEOPLE. “You know, to be able to do things that you dream of.”

Sharks’ Warsofsky explains what he needs to see from struggling Klingberg

Sharks’ Warsofsky explains what he needs to see from struggling Klingberg

SAN JOSE – The San Jose Sharks have rotated several of their defensemen in and out of the lineup all season long, and now it appears that veteran John Klingberg – after a rough few games – will become the latest blueliner to take a seat. Coming off back-to-back losses, the Sharks once again appear set to shake up their crowded defense corps, and indications were that Klingberg would be a healthy scratch for the first time this season on Tuesday when San Jose hosts the Utah Mammoth. Klingberg’s play has been inconsistent at best in recent games, as he was a combined -4 with two giveaways in Sharks losses to the Calgary Flames and Seattle Kraken last week that wrapped up a 1-2-0 road trip. Klingberg has also run the point on the Sharks’ first power play unit, with the team mired in a 3-for-32 slump with the man advantage over the last 11 games. “I think it’s pretty clear,” Klingberg said of the message he received from the Sharks’ coaching staff. “It’s up to me to play (well).” Klingberg, now in his 12th NHL season, was signed to a one-year, $3 million contract on July 1, partly to bolster a Sharks power play that finished 26th in the NHL last season at 18.6%. In 657 career NHL games, Klingberg has 23 goals and 140 assists with the man advantage. Klingberg has five points, including two power-play goals, in 13 games this season, and is averaging 21:04 in ice time. But in Monday’s practice, Klingberg watched as Dmitry Orlov ran the point on the first power play unit with rookie defenseman Sam Dickinson on the second. When Klingberg was out of the lineup from Oct. 17-26, the Sharks’ power play, with Orlov at the helm, went 6-for-19 in six games. While other factors have been at play this season, the Sharks, after 19 games, are now 19th in the NHL on the power play, with an 18.8% success rate. “I wouldn’t really say it’s totally the power play,” Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky said when asked about Klingberg. “I think there’s better hockey in him 5-on-5, and we’re going to keep getting to it, and (we have) a lot of defensemen. So, there’ll be some changes.” “I think just have a little bit better puck play,” Klingberg said of his own game. “Be more consistent with the puck.” Saturday, on Seattle’s first goal, which came at even strength, Orlov got caught in the neutral zone as Chandler Stephenson poked the puck ahead to himself. He then got around Klingberg inside the blue line and sent a pass across the slot to Jaden Schwartz, who got behind Macklin Celebrini and guided the puck into the net behind goalie Alex Nedeljkovic. The Sharks were the better team for large portions of Saturday’s game, but that miscue and another by Shakir Mukhamadullin proved to be too much for them to overcome. “It happens fast,” Klingberg said of the play. “It’s a little bit of a breakdown on our 1-1-3 (system), so I have to go out towards the boards. But at the same time, I can’t let (Stephenson) go behind me.” Klingberg‘s lower-body injury that forced him out of the lineup for close to two weeks last month, but said Monday he feels fine physically, and indicated previously that his health issues had nothing to do with the double hip resurfacing surgery he had in Dec. 2023. It’s just a matter of playing better within the Sharks’ structure. “I think with (Klingberg), there’s a process of where we need to get him to play the way we want to play,” Warsofsky said. “It’s new to him, which I understand, and in the systems and whatnot. Then, obviously, coming back from the health issues. “With what type of defenseman he is, there’s a risk and reward, and a lot of teams have those types of players. But you have to get the reward, and we really haven’t got a lot of that. Will we get that at some point? I think we will. I think he’s got the ability. We’ve seen that in his career, but we need him to kind of just have a little bit of a reset here.” It also appears that Timothy Liljegren will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday, with Dickinson re-entering the lineup, as the Sharks try to keep everyone fresh. “We want to keep guys in the mix here a little bit, not let guys sit out for a while,” Warsofsky said. “We’ll see what (Tuesday) brings, but I know (Klingberg) knows he can play better, as we do.” “It’s the same for everyone,” Klingberg said of being a scratch. “You play your best team. If this is what they want to do, I’m still part of the team. I’m going to work my butt off to get back to the lineup and help this team win. That’s just how it works.”

Golden Knights face Rangers, hoping to end four-game home skid

The Vegas Golden Knights will try to snap a four-game home losing streak on Tuesday night when they host one of the NHL's top road teams, the New York Rangers, in Las Vegas. Vegas, in fourth place in a tightly bunched Pacific Division, won just four of its first 10 home games (4-3-3) and is 1-3-2 in its last six outings at T-Mobile Arena. The Golden Knights will be facing a New York team that entered Monday's action tied with the Los Angeles Kings for the most road wins (nine) in the league. The Rangers have won six straight road games and possess an impressive plus-16 road goal differential. Vegas picked up three of a possible four points in a weekend road back-to-back that started with a 4-1 victory at the St. Louis Blues on Saturday and ended with a 3-2 overtime loss to the Minnesota Wild on Sunday. The Golden Knights rallied to tie the Wild in the third period on a power-play goal by Reilly Smith but couldn't earn the extra point in overtime. Kirill Kaprizov scored the game-winner on a power play with just 10 seconds remaining. "It was a tight game," Vegas coach Bruce Cassidy said. "The way it ended for us leaves a sour taste in your mouth but there's parts of the game we played really well ... and there's parts where we needed to find more offense. Five-on-five, we weren't able to do it, so we'll look at that." Both Vegas goals came on power plays. The first, by Pavel Dorofeyev late in the first period, tied the game 1-1 and was assisted by Mitch Marner. It was the 20th point of the season (four goals, 16 assists) in just 18 games for Marner, the fastest player in franchise history to accomplish that feat. Like Vegas, New York has struggled on its home ice, going 1-7-1, including a 2-1 loss to the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday. Mika Zibanejad scored a power-play goal -- the Rangers' fourth in a four-game span -- to tie it, but Detroit's Lucas Raymond, alone in the slot, scored the game-winner with 3:47 remaining in the third period. The loss, which snapped a three-game win streak for New York, overshadowed a brilliant performance by goaltender Jonathan Quick, who stopped 40 of 42 shots. "Obviously, Quickie was unbelievable tonight," Rangers assistant coach David Quinn said. "It looked like he might be able to steal a point there as the game was evolving, and we just weren't able to get it done." Quinn and fellow assistant Joe Sacco split head coaching duties after it was announced head coach Mike Sullivan would miss the game for personal reasons. It is not known when Sullivan will rejoin the team. Quick, who went 5-2-2 in 10 appearances during the Golden Knights' 2022-23 Stanley Cup season, went after Detroit center Mason Appleton after the game ended, causing a minor fracas between both teams at center ice. Quick was upset that Appleton fired a puck into the Rangers' empty net shortly after the final horn. "The horn goes, a couple seconds (pass), (Appleton) shoots it in the net," Quick said. "I don't know why they were surprised." New York is 6-6-2 all-time against the Golden Knights and won the last two meetings.

Letters: Turning Point fracas at Cal bodes ill for free speech

Cal Turning Point fracas is bad for free speech Re: “Cal serves up red meat for Turning Point” (Page A8, Nov. 16). The writer argues that Turning Point U.S.A. showed up at Cal Berkeley, not just to debate, but to bait protesters into acting. The protesters should have understood what Turning Point was up to and remained entirely peaceful. I think this portends much more than that. Cal is home to the Free Speech Movement, and its students generally hold the conservative views of Turning Point in disdain. But its very bright students, who are supposed to hold free speech in such high esteem, made a choice to ignore that right and impose a heckler’s veto because of their inability to tolerate a conservative point of view. If these intelligent people are able to abandon their core beliefs because they dislike conservatives speaking their minds, how much chance does free speech have in our society? Daniel Mauthe Clean air is costly but worth it Re: “Newsom gas crusade flips to keeping refineries open” (Page A8, Nov. 16). In his column, Dan Walters says California’s high gasoline prices are caused by taxes and fees and the “mystery charge.” Most of the cause is really our clean air. Growing up in SoCal, I choked on car smog. Now, even with tremendously more cars, there’s tremendously less smog. Cleaner gas is why. The mystery charge is not a mystery. Indeed, the charge exists, and it’s big. Walters says it’s 41¢ a gallon, and it cost us $59 billion between 2015 and 2024. However, the report he mentions, and gets those figures from, is from California’s Division of Petroleum Market Oversight, and they attribute the charge to “higher gross gasoline industry margins.” No mystery, and no surprise either. We pay a lot for gas, and we know why. Doug McKenzie Bay Farm safety at stake with redevelopment I am concerned about the Harbor Bay Landing Redevelopment plan. I have lived in Bay Farm for over 40 years and have witnessed its growth and challenges. True Life Companies wants to build 305 units at Harbor Bay Landing Shopping Center. The city of Alameda will get additional funding from property sales and meet the SB 79 requirements of the state. However, it will destroy the existing city planning. Demolishing the only grocery store and pharmacy will turn Bay Farm into a food and pharmacy desert. This is a nightmare for seniors who do not own a car or who are not computer-literate. Bay Farm Island has a population of 13,359, and the redevelopment will worsen transportation problems and further jeopardize safety. Traffic congestion is a significant problem. If there is flash flooding from thunderstorms, fires or tsunamis, the citizens will be doomed due to poor traffic. Don’t think Trump won’t try for third term If you think Donald Trump can’t be president after 2028, think again. How about this scenario: The MAGA party nominates J.D. Vance for president in 2028. J.D. selects Trump as his VP. They win the election and are sworn in on Jan. 20. The next day, J.D. resigns and Trump becomes president. Voila! Trump is president without having been elected. And it’s all perfectly legal. If you think the MAGA party isn’t corrupt enough to allow this, wake up. They are. Mike Krausnick Demand that reps speak out on maritime killings Re: “U.S. strikes another alleged drug boat, killing two” (Page A4, Oct. 23). Among the tidal wave of illegal and unethical actions being taken by our current administration, the murder of more than 80 foreign nationals by the U.S. military is one that damages America’s standing in the world. Our armed forces have long-established tactics for interdicting drug runners, which include arrest and confiscation of drugs. However, just like the legal sleight of hand used to justify the torture and abuse of prisoners at Abu Ghraib Prison during the Gulf War, the legal justifications being presented for executing these boat crews are flimsy at best, according to legal experts quoted in the New York Times. With the Supreme Court granting Trump immunity while in office, these killings are just one more spectacle he and his inner circle delight in. Where is the outrage? Please write to your elected leaders and urge them to publicly speak out to oppose these unnecessary and immoral executions. Keith Hatschek Budget threatens state of U.S. health care Re: “Health care cuts will push ERs to the brink” (Page A7, Oct. 21). This retired RN would like to thank Dr. Eric Snoey for his excellent opinion piece on what the state of health care will be like in this country with the upcoming proposed federal cuts to health care. He got it exactly right. It will be a nightmare. Peggy Moyers

International Men’s Day History International Men’s Day was founded in 1999 by Dr Jerome Teelucksingh, a history lecturer at the University of the West Indies in Trinidad Tabago. The talks for International Men’s Day (IMD) have been going on since at least the 1960’s when it was reported in the New York Times that many men were agitating privately to make February 23 International Men’s Day. Since the 1960’s there have been persistent international calls for the creation of an IMD. The Australians also ceased to observe the event again until November 19, 2003, only the Maltese Association for Men’s Rights continued to observe the event each year in February. As the single remaining country still observing the earlier February celebration, the Maltese AMR Committee voted in 2009 to shift the date of their observation to November 19 at the request of Australian International Men's Day organisors.

The petty criminals doing Putin’s dirty work – and causing chaos across Europe

Poland felt the impact of this kind of criminal damage on Monday, and Prime Minister Donald Tusk called it out as sabotage. Authorities revealed an explosion on a railway line south of Warsaw that was used for deliveries to Ukraine. Nobody was killed, but the destruction could have been lethal. The Polish Security Services Minister, Tomasz Siemoniak, said there was a “very high” chance the damage was done on the orders of a foreign spy service: “We are dealing with the services of a foreign state, and not a gang of scrap metal thieves.” Petty criminals in Germany, Poland and Britain are also being jailed for helping Russian spy agencies and their ultimate controller, Russian President Vladimir Putin, a former KGB officer in East Germany. The crimes range from vandalism to arson and attempted assassination. The pattern will be familiar to Australians after security agencies named Iran as the instigator of antisemitic attacks in Sydney and Melbourne over the past year, again, using low-level criminals. In Europe, however, the prosecutions are overwhelmingly about Russian influence.

Megyn Kelly’s defence of Epstein is a new low for MAGA supporters

Amid the lies, bombast and bias that is US media in the time of Trump, there isn’t much that shocks me any more. Well, there wasn’t, until I caught up with US right-wing commentator Megyn Kelly’s recent comments on paedophilia. I know I should expect this popular former Fox News reporter to toe the MAGA line like the others of her ilk. However, this time it’s too much. I still can’t believe what I’m hearing – from a woman no less. Following the US’ house oversight committee releasing more than 20,000 emails sent to and from deceased convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein this week, Kelly couldn’t shut up. And she should have. It started with this gem on her YouTube show: “He was into the barely legal type,” Kelly said of Epstein as some sort of qualifier. “Like, he liked 15-year-old girls. And I realise this is disgusting. I’m definitely not trying to make an excuse for this. I’m just giving you facts, that he wasn’t into, like, eight-year-olds.”

Anthony Scaramucci says everyone in Trump’s orbit hates him

Anthony Scaramucci says everyone in Trump’s orbit hates him

“He probably made me infamous more than famous, but I think weirdly, he gave me a platform to speak out against him,” he says. Ever the savvy entrepreneur, Scaramucci has made the most of that platform. He’s the co-host of The Rest is Politics: US, an American spin-off of the hugely popular British original. Scaramucci thought it would take an hour of his time for a couple of months before last year’s presidential election. Instead, he’s doing about 20 hours a week on the show, which is still going strong. “I think Trump sucks for everything, but he’s great for the podcast,” he tells me. “If [Kamala] Harris won, would the podcast be as popular? Probably not.” My French toast arrives, fluffy and dusted in brown sugar. The Mooch resumes his roasting, and demands the waiter summon a side of butter because “I want him to be in a diabetic coma by the time the interview’s over”. The week before we meet has been another aeon in American politics. The longest government shutdown in US political history ended. More documents concerning the affairs of deceased paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein were released. And in Scaramucci’s hometown, 34-year-old Muslim democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani claimed a stunning victory in the New York City mayoral race, sending shock waves through a geriatric, painfully timid Democratic establishment. Mamdani wasn’t Scaramucci’s first pick, but he understands his allure to younger New Yorkers frustrated by escalating housing costs and uninspired by the city’s current leadership. “The Mamdani election is a message from the younger generation. You guys suck, and we would like to try something different,” Scaramucci says. And while the mayor-elect’s populist tax and spend program triggered plenty of bed-wetting about billionaires fleeing the Upper East Side for the likes of West Palm Beach, Scaramucci says the idea that Wall Street will abandon Wall Street is all a bit of bluster. “J.P. Morgan just built a $2.7 billion corporate office. Where are they going? They’re not going anywhere. I’m not going anywhere,” he says. Mamdani (who is Ugandan-born and cannot run for president) might be the future in New York, but on the national stage, Scaramucci likes California Governor Gavin Newsom as a top Democratic hopeful for the 2028 presidential race. He describes former transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg as exceptionally talented, but worries that the openly gay politician’s sexuality will hurt him in the African American community. “That polling is near zero and again,” he says. Will there even be a new president in 2028? Despite Trump’s constant musing about disregarding the Constitution and seeking a third term, and Congress being, in the Mooch’s words “a bunch of weenies and jellyfishes”, Scaramucci isn’t giving up on American democracy. “Go through the 250-year history of America – we have spasms of self-doubt, then we have reflection, and then we have renewal,” he says. Before that, America must endure another three years under an increasingly erratic president. And a vengeful one. Since returning to the White House in January, Trump has used the Department of Justice to settle old political scores, with former FBI director James Comey, and New York Attorney-General Letitia James both facing criminal indictments brought against them by prosecutors hand-picked by the president. Does the Mooch fear becoming a target? “I mean, if he’s going to come after me, let him come after me. I’m a big boy,” he says. “But hopefully you and I will build a good rapport. You’ll come visit me in jail.” Start the day with a summary of the day’s most important and interesting stories, analysis and insights. Sign up for our Morning Edition newsletter.
