Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene criticized Republican leadership on Tuesday for failing to present a healthcare strategy as open enrollment approaches. The Georgia congresswoman confronted Speaker Mike Johnson on a GOP conference call, warning that inaction could cause insurance premiums under the Affordable Care Act to double or triple for millions of Americans. Greene accused her party of abandoning voters and demanded answers about legislative plans before enrollment begins on November 1, 2025.
Johnson responded that committees are developing solutions but declined to share specific proposals with the conference. Greene expressed frustration that accessing Republican healthcare plans requires entering a secure facility. She...
Apple's iOS 26 update has eliminated a key tool that cybersecurity researchers used to detect Pegasus spyware infections on iPhones. The shutdown.log file, which tracked device restarts and crashes, provided forensic evidence of the sophisticated surveillance software but is automatically deleted after each reboot under the new system. NSO Group's Pegasus can infiltrate smartphones without user interaction and grants attackers complete access to messages, calls, photos and device sensors.
Security experts say the change erases critical evidence that helped identify spyware targeting journalists, activists and political figures worldwide. Apple likely modified the system to enhance performance and reduce storage rather than protect...
Cam'ron filed a lawsuit against J. Cole alleging breach of an agreement related to the song Ready '24 from Cole's 2024 mixtape Might Delete Later. The Dipset rapper claims he recorded a verse in 2022 with expectations that Cole would appear on his podcast, It Is What It Is, or work together on another track. Cam'ron states that Cole declined the podcast invitation for 2 years, citing conflicts and avoiding the promised collaboration.
The plaintiff asserts he has not received compensation for his contribution to the song. He asks a judge to establish his co-authorship status and to require the track's producer to provide complete financial records for the track, which he estimates generated more than $500,000 in revenue. The Dreamville...
DoorDash will distribute one million free meals and waive delivery fees for 300,000 grocery orders as food stamp funding faces elimination in November. The delivery company launched its Emergency Food Response campaign to support more than 40 million Americans who may lose SNAP benefits if lawmakers fail to reach a budget resolution. The initiative partners with 300 food banks through Project DASH and major grocery retailers such as Sprouts, Dollar General and Wegmans.
Max Rettig, vice president of global public policy at DoorDash, said the company cannot ignore families facing the risk of hunger. The Department of Agriculture warned that SNAP payments may stop next month without congressional action. States such as New York...
Hurricane Melissa struck Jamaica on Tuesday afternoon as a Category 5 storm with winds of 185 mph, marking one of the strongest Atlantic Basin landfalls ever recorded. The National Hurricane Center tracked the eye south of Montego Bay as it crawled north-northeast at 8 mph, though winds have since dropped to 150 mph. At least seven people have died across Haiti, the Dominican Republic and Jamaica since the storm began its destructive path through the Caribbean.
The island faces violent winds, torrential rain, flooding and storm surges reaching 13 feet along southern coasts. Rainfall totals between 15 and 30 inches threaten widespread landslides, with mountain regions seeing wind speeds 30 percent stronger than coastal areas. Cuba has...
Jamar Champ, married to Love & Hip-Hop personality Masika Kalysha, has died in a vehicle crash, according to multiple media reports released on Tuesday. The couple married in 2021 and had one daughter, Amari. Champ also helped raise Khari, Kalysha's child with rapper Fetty Wap.
Kalysha filed paperwork in January 2024 to end the marriage to the former college athlete, though no confirmation exists that the court finalized the annulment. She has not released any official statement about his death. The reality television star posted a message on social media early Tuesday morning, asking followers for prayers after receiving devastating news at 2 a.m. that day.
UPS announced it will eliminate nearly 48,000 positions this year as part of a major restructuring plan designed to reduce expenses and increase profitability. The shipping giant is shuttering more than 90 facilities across the country while reorganizing its distribution system to improve efficiency. Company officials attributed the workforce reduction to decreased package volumes and slower online shopping growth following the pandemic surge.
The cuts affect both supervisory staff and distribution center employees what representing one of the largest job reductions in company history. Union representatives and affected workers criticized the decision, noting employees maintained operations through record shipment levels in recent...
A San Francisco federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from terminating thousands of government workers while operations remain suspended. Judge Susan Illston converted a temporary restraining order into a preliminary injunction as legal challenges proceed over whether mass firings violate federal employment protections.
The administration sent termination letters to more than 4,000 employees who could not access them because email systems went offline at the start of the shutdown. Court records indicate over 10,000 positions faced elimination before judicial intervention halted the process.
Judge Illston determined the dismissals were likely beyond presidential authority and violated civil service laws. She noted that...
Police departments nationwide are alerting parents to inspect Halloween candy after discovering counterfeit products containing THC and hallucinogenic mushrooms disguised as popular brands. Warren Police Department officers in Michigan found fake items with packaging nearly identical to that of legitimate sweets during a search warrant. Lt. John Gajewski warned that if trained investigators struggled to identify the counterfeits, children face a greater risk.
Authorities have not confirmed whether anyone planned to distribute these products to trick-or-treaters. Parents should secure THC products like prescription medications and examine candy for strange odors, incorrect labeling, or spelling errors. Arkansas officials reported...
