In a clip shared on TikTok on Sunday, under the username Buddysmartz, the golden retriever’s owner listed a few surprising “facts” about dogs that he says that most of us didn’t know. According to VCA Animal Hospitals, dogs really do love their humans unconditionally, and can never get enough of their company. You can see that if your dog follows everywhere, sleeps with you, gives you presents, and looks at you in the eyes, for example....
Without Curry — who’s nursing an MCL sprain — the Warriors lost their second postseason game this season, falling to the Portland Trail Blazers 120-108 in Game 3 of the second-round Western Conference series. Portland capitalized on a sluggish Warriors defense, which allowed the Blazers to shoot 56.7 percent from behind the arc.

The 23-year-old has found his way more consistently into Luis Enrique’s plans at Camp Nou in recent weeks, with injuries to Sergio Busquets and captain Andres Iniesta helping his cause. The Man Utd starlet who could silence Mourinho youth doubters Gomes feels he has adapted well since his transfer from Valencia last July - a deal that could see Barca pay as much as €55million, depending on bonuses - despite the demands for success from the supporters, but he insists he has plenty more to give as the champions challenge for another treble of LaLiga, the Copa del Rey and the Champions League....
Citizens here are raised to put their faith in a state thought ultracompetent. Singapore’s government has earned this reputation by achieving decades of economic growth and prosperity that would be the envy of almost any country, let alone one this small (Singapore’s population is just 4.6 million). But for the past three months, since Mas Selamat’s escape, authorities have been scrambling to regain that trust. Police and military units are scouring the city-state, and locals have been told to stay on high alert for a fugitive authorities think unarmed but very dangerous....
Confused as much as shocked, I listened to Dean explain that he thought I had not paid sufficient adulation to Bear Bryant–Coach Bryant–in a recent story I had done on his establishment of a record number of football-coaching victories. Hence, in deference to his esteemed fellow coach, Dean was sorry, but he would not descend, in dialogue, to my blasphemous level. Dean and I did speak a few more times, always most civilly, but he would talk to me only about why he would not talk to me....
Temporary changes like this are often made to the search engine logo, usually to memorialize the anniversary of historic events, celebrate special occasions like the Day of the Dead, or honor people of great cultural significance. Artists are a recurring theme within these Google Doodles (in the past year, for example, we’ve had tributes to surrealist French photographer Claude Cahun and the late potter We:wae) and you can often learn a lot by researching them....
In a Sunday interview with CNN host Abby Phillip, Mayor John Giles said that President Joe Biden and his newly installed Cabinet leaders have been able to provide funding and “boots-on-the-ground” assistance for both the border crisis and COVID-19 pandemic. Giles touted the Biden pandemic relief package as well as the administration’s response to the border crisis—both problems he described as “clearly ongoing.” “I am a veteran of the last border surge, so we are very nervous about the surge we see in refugees that are crossing the border,” he said....
Republicans are also citing the lack of GOP support as evidence that Biden’s pledges of unity and bipartisanship are hollow, hoping the message will resonate with voters concerned about Democratic overreach and progressive policies ahead of the 2022 midterm elections. But polls show that Americans of all parties broadly support the relief bill, making the GOP strategy a risky one. Some Republicans have already come under fire for lauding the benefits of coronavirus relief measures while still pushing back on Biden’s efforts, showing that even in opposition some lawmakers are well aware of how popular the stimulus package is....
Tensions within the Republican Party reached a boiling point amid a contentious speaker race late Friday night as a group of hard-right conservatives withheld their votes for Kevin McCarthy, a California Republican. Gaetz, a vocal opponent of McCarthy, voted against him on the 14th ballot, sparking a tense discussion with some of his colleagues. During that discussion, Rogers, a McCarthy ally, confronted Gaetz and lunged at him while another congressman held him back....
Western states, including Colorado, Montana and Oregon, gained residents in the decade since the last census, and each gained congressional seats. Florida, a perennial swing state, and North Carolina each gained one seat, while Texas was the biggest winner with two. California is losing a congressional seat for the first time—a result of dwindling migration in the nation’s most populous state. New York and Ohio lost seats, as well as Illinois, Michigan, Pennsylvania and West Virginia....
At a Wednesday news conference, Baker said he would “take a pass” when asked about who he was supporting for president. His office later clarified he was taking a pass on the question, but not passing on voting in the election. Baker’s communications director, Lizzy Guyton, told CNN affiliate WCVB that the governor would not be able to back Trump this year. He’s previously said he didn’t vote for the president in 2016 or the Massachusetts Republican primary....
These often far-fetched impeachment attempts are nothing new. The Republican Party has already launched more impeachment resolutions against Biden or his administration since January 3, 2021, than the Democrats did during former President Donald Trump’s entire term in office. House Republicans have introduced 14 impeachment resolutions against Biden or his administration as of October—all of which have been non-starters. Eric J. Segall, professor of law at Georgia State University College of Law said that it’s “very likely” that the GOP will continue to launch further unmerited impeachment attempts against Biden and others as part of “tit for tat” revenge for Trump, who became the first president to be impeached by the House twice before being cleared both times in the Senate....
In Monday’s article, Politico claims that “people with direct knowledge of the inquiry” relayed that the committee “found no evidence” of Ukraine engaging in an effort to help Clinton win the election. Conspiratorial allegations that Ukraine, rather than Russia, meddled in the election were brought up several times during the recent public hearings in the impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump. Some have claimed that the allegations are part of a Russian disinformation campaign, designed to deflect attention from Russian meddling in the election....
The Senate’s version of the Pentagon spending bill for fiscal 2021 includes $627 billion for defense spending, including billions that will be siphoned off to fund President Donald Trump’s southern border wall. But it’s the panel’s passage of $68.7 billion for a war fund with little oversight that may rile up members of Congress from both parties. The Department of Defense has absorbed approximately $2 trillion in taxpayer money since the formation of the Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) account....
Republican Arizona House of Representatives member Mark Finchem and Republican former Nevada Assembly Member and now Nevada Secretary of State candidate Jim Marchant were both listed as attending the event over the weekend starting October 22 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The “For God and Country: Patriot Double Down’’ weekend convention is organized by The Patriot Voice, run by a person who uses the name “QAnon John’’ on his Telegram channel which has more than 38,000 followers....
That was the message from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday to Senate Republicans for how Congress can overcome its impasse on police reform legislation. “We always have a responsibility to reach across the aisle. But instead of a handshake, you get a slap in the face, then you say you better go back to the drawing board,’” the California Democrat told reporters. “And that’s what they better do.”...
King made the remarks during a Tuesday appearance on right-wing news outlet Newsmax TV. The theory that the virus is a biological weapon has been thoroughly debunked and discredited by scientists who have studied the pathogen. King did not endorse the theory but claimed it was plausible when asked about Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) promoting the notion. “I think it’s worthy of investigation, not that they intentionally released it,” King said....
Beutler, a Republican who represents Washington’s 3rd congressional district, wrote a series of tweets late on Thursday, ostensibly aimed at voters in her own community. “In conversations w/residents about this week’s impeachment vote, some are unclear on what transpired before & during that involved President Trump. Here are the indisputable and publicly available facts,” she said. Beutler said Trump “helped organize the January 6 rally” that preceded the riot and quoted from the president’s own tweets where he made unsubstantiated allegations of voter fraud....
Buck on Friday reacted to former President Donald Trump filing multiple lawsuits against Big Tech companies last week for attempting to “impose illegal and unconstitutional government censorship” on users. He appeared on Fox News on Friday to tout House lawmakers for pushing through a package of six bills last month that would uncoil anti-competitive Silicon Valley mergers and make it easier for users to move their own data from one company to another....
