I am happy to say I have officially become the type of person who wears matching pajamas to sleep, and I have these Soma Cool Nights Sleep pajamas to thank for that. Gone are the days of being the type of person who throws on an old oversized t-shirt and a pair of comfy shorts before crawling into bed.

North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un has just fired a volley of threats against the U.S., greeting incoming President Joe Biden with what is likely to be his biggest foreign policy dilemma beginning right after his inauguration on January 20.

When Arizona received its first shipments of the COVID-19 vaccine in early December, emergency room nurse Nicole Koller saw a first ray of hope in the seemingly unending horror that had arrived with a post-Thanksgiving surge.

Law enforcement has closed in on two of the most visible figures in Wednesday’s riot at the U.S. Capitol, arresting the shirtless, horn-wearing “QAnon shaman” and a man who walked off with the House Speaker’s lectern.

As a woman, I’ve been conditioned over and over to think that the things I wear are not for me, undergarments included. Hell, there was an entire televised fashion show for years that touted OTT lingerie, that looked like the ball of yarn in my bedroom that I attempted to turn into a scarf. I feel strongly that underwear, at this point in my life, should be comfortable and Knickey gets that. They’re not covered in lace or bows. There aren’t any... Читать дальше...

“I feel a fondness towards her,” admits Emma Corrin. The actress is speaking about Princess Diana, of course, the reluctant royal she so masterfully embodied in The Crown’s dishy fourth season, which traces her relationship with the icy Prince Charles over the course of 12 years, from age 16 (he was 28) through to their marriage’s collapse.

As Democrats prepare to assume total political power in Washington in the wake of twin Georgia Senate wins, the most progressive among them in Congress see an opening to pursue a policy agenda that would have been largely shelved had the state broke for the GOP.

The prosecutions of the Capitol rioters—including the person or persons who murdered Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick by bludgeoning him with a fire extinguisher—need to be immunized against Trump’s pardon power through joint local and federal prosecutions.

At six feet tall, with long brown hair and impressively direct eye contact, Lillian House is a commanding presence—even on a Zoom call. She recently spoke to The Daily Beast from the home she shares in Denver with her partner, Ryan. Her rescue dog, Hermie, lay on a small bed right behind her.

What we have all witnessed since the day Donald J. Trump was sworn in as the 45th President of the United States is criminal, and what I have personally experienced since the day he was elected on Nov. 8, 2016, is shocking, awful, disheartening and shameful. Every single MAGA mob rioter who stormed the U.S. Capitol did so “at the direction of, and in coordination with” President Trump, and it was an assault on human life and our great democracy. Unfortunately... Читать дальше...

The U.S. Capitol is not safe.

It’s safer than it was Wednesday, when a mob stormed it shortly after 1 p.m. The Capitol complex was declared secured by the police by 5:40 p.m.

The Trumpist mob that descended on Washington to coerce lawmakers into illegally overturning an election in favor of its loser was shocked to meet resistance from police. Had they not been the ones waving Blue Lives Matter flags ever since Ferguson, the ones defending police every time an officer knelt on a Black neck, bodyslammed a Black teenage girl, shot a Black 12-year old boy dead on sight?

On Nov. 8, 2016, Donald J. Trump made his children the future of the Republican Party. On Jan. 6, 2020, he took it away. As someone who has suckled at the teat of nepotism, I can attest that you’re only as famous or as popular as the parent who made you relevant in the first place. On Jan. 6, 2021 Trump went from “annoying but useful to the Republican Party” to “the thing that the Republican Party finally realizes is going to kill it.”

President Trump will spend the last 12 days of his presidency cut off from Twitter completely after the company imposed a permanent suspension on his personal account Friday due to the risk of “further incitement to violence.”

Donald Trump-friendly cable outlet Newsmax—which has reaped massive ratings rewards for its refusal until recently to acknowledge Joe Biden as president-elect—has tried to exploit that stance by repeatedly airing bogus claims that Trump didn’t lose the election and that antifa and Black Lives Matter, not a violent mob of Trump supporters, are to blame for Wednesday’s lethal assault on the Capitol.

Forty-eight hours after violent right-wing extremists attacked the U.S. Capitol, House Democrats are putting in motion the process of removing President Donald Trump—who egged on the rioters—by drafting articles of impeachment.

Twitter has banned several top Trump allies, including former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and one-time Trump election lawyer Sidney Powell, in what the site described as a crackdown on QAnon content two days after QAnon believers joined other Trump supporters in violently storming Congress.
