The House of Representatives is holding a rare Saturday vote to consider Speaker Mike Johnson’s foreign aid plan, which has spurred calls for his ouster by a small group of GOP rebels.Three of the four bills fund Ukraine, Israel and the Indo-Pacific, totaling roughly $95 billion.

View MoreOil prices fluctuated on Friday, briefly spiking as much as 3% after Israel hit back at Iran in a retaliatory strike, further heightening tensions in the Middle East. Brent crude prices briefly reached above $90 per barrel after a US official told ABC News that Israel launched missile strikes against Iran late Thursday. The attack came after Iran rained down more than 300 drones and missiles toward the Jewish nation last Saturday — though nearly all were intercepted by Israel and its allies. Israel’s early morning retaliatory strike, however, appeared to be “limited,” according to a military source — though…

Researchers described the humongous beast, called Bustingorrytitan shiva, late last year from fossils discovered in western Argentina. Now, they’ve worked with an artist to recreate the Cretaceous titanosaur, a stockier type of long-necked sauropod, in stunning images and videos.B. shiva is among the largest sauropods ever recorded, with an estimated weight of around 74 tons (67 metric tons), according to a study published Dec. 18, 2023, in the journal Acta Palaeontologica Polonica.

View MoreRALEIGH, N.C. — The Stanley Cup playoffs were where Patrick Roy elevated his status as a player into legendary. As a first-time postseason coach 18 years ago, it was where he tossed some gasoline, lit some matches and won a trophy. “I was a little warrior-y. And so was he,” Eric Veilleux, who coached against Roy’s Quebec Remparts with the Shawnigan Cataractes in the 2006 QMJHL playoffs, recalled during a February sit-down. “… We did not have a team to match what these guys had. Back then, physicality was a way for us to stay in games. Maybe try to — I don’t want to say intimidate them — but that made him not very happy sometimes. “So we went at it a little bit.” Veilleux wasn’t the only coach who found himself in a verbal sparring match with Roy that spring. Ted Nolan — yes, the same Ted Nolan who coached the Islanders a year later — took offense during the Memorial Cup after Roy took a shot at his netminder, saying, “He played better than I ever thought he’d be playing, to be honest with you. But he’s due for a tougher game and yesterday I thought he…
April is still having its way with us, folks. In the thick of Mercury retrograde in Aries and in the wake of a rocky AF eclipse season, we are now set to experience a rare and auspicious planetary conjunction. On April 20th, Jupiter, the planet of risky business and lucky endeavors will form a conjunction with Uranus, the planet of rebellion, liberation, and chaos with a capital C. The two luminaries will meet in the pleasured pastures of Taurus at 21 degrees. When two planets merge like this, so too do their energies. When the wild-out, freak flag-fly planet of sudden…
John Stamos understands why Taylor Swift’s newest album, The Tortured Poets Department, is making waves in Hollywood. “Is there any man on planet Earth right now whose phone is blowing up more than Charlie Puth right now?” Josh Gad, who listened to the 34-year-old pop star’s record with his two daughters, teased via Instagram on Friday, April 19. (Puth, 32, was name-dropped on title track “The Tortured Poets Department” as a singer Swift once praised with an ex.) Stamos, 60, offered Gad, 43, an alternate theory, commenting: “Kim K?” Swift revealed on Friday that she wrote a double album, The…

No, Blake Lively did not have four more children — but Taylor Swift did drop some names that are confusing fans. The biggest question surrounds the track “Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus” from The Tortured Poets Society: The Anthology, which dropped on Friday, April 19. Traditionally, Swift name-drops her famous friends in songs, and even — sometimes — reveals the names of their children. She famously used the names of Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ three daughters, James, Inez and Betty, in a three-song story on 2020’s Folklore. However, with “Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus,” it appears…
Here is another spot in the defensive backfield that is not exactly fully-stocked with proven talent. The leading man the past few years, Xavier McKinney, left for riches ($67 million) bestowed upon him by the Packers. McKinney played all 1,128 snaps on defense in 2023, meaning there is a whole bunch of playing time awaiting someone. Jason Pinnock returns at one starting spot and perhaps ballhawk Dane Belton is ready for a larger role. Veteran Jalen Mills was signed to a one-year deal and he should compete for work. GM Joe Schoen does not believe in spending big for a…
A former senior adviser to National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci shared “confidential” communications with EcoHealth Alliance about how the agency was preparing to respond to accusations that it funded risky gain-of-function experiments on coronaviruses in Wuhan, China.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has been exonerated by a Department of Justice review that found investigators did not intend to target traditional Catholics as potential “racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists.”The Justice Department Inspector General review noted, however, that analysts “incorrectly conflated” an investigative subject’s religious views with his alleged domestic terrorism activities. Findings from the 120-day review, which was handled by Justice Department Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz and ordered by Congress, were outlined in a letter sent to members of Congress on Thursday.An FBI Richmond, Virginia, internal memo, titled “Interest of Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremists in…

The internet is convinced that Travis Kelce is unbothered by girlfriend Taylor Swift’s song lyrics about her exes — and the reasoning is kind of hilarious. In case you hadn’t heard, Swift, 34, dropped The Tortured Poets Department on Friday, April 19. The standard version includes 16 songs — but that simply wasn’t enough, and Swift released a 31-song double album that appears to be about her 2023 splits from exes Joe Alwyn and Matty Healy. Since Swift is currently in what appears to be a much happier romance with Kelce, 34, fans have been musing about the NFL star’s…
Add Kelly Oubre versus celebrities as another matchup to watch during the Knicks-76ers first-round playoff series.

WASHINGTON — White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Friday that it would be inappropriate to poke fun at President Biden for falsely suggesting on two occasions earlier this week that his uncle, Ambrose Finnegan, was eaten by cannibals in New Guinea during World War II.

If Congress passes funding, this is how the US could rush weapons to Ukraine for its war with Russia
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon could get weapons moving to Ukraine within days if Congress passes a long-delayed aid bill. That’s because it has a network of storage sites in the U.S. and Europe that already hold the ammunition and air defense components that Kyiv desperately needs.Moving fast is critical, CIA Director Bill Burns said Thursday, warning that without additional aid from the U.S., Ukraine could lose the war to Russia by the end of this year.UKRAINE CLAIMS IT SHOT DOWN A RUSSIAN STRATEGIC BOMBER AS MOSCOW’S MISSILES KILL 8 UKRAINIANSPentagon press secretary Maj.
