Israeli forces killed at least 23 Palestinians seeking food on Sunday in the Gaza Strip, according to hospital officials and witnesses, who described facing gunfire as hungry crowds surged around aid sites as the malnutrition-related death toll surged.

 

The Senate left Washington Saturday night for its monthlong August recess without a deal to advance dozens of President Donald Trump’s nominees, calling it quits after days of contentious bipartisan negotiations and Trump posting on social media that Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer can “GO TO HELL!”

 

Israeli forces opened fire near two aid distribution sites run by the Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation as crowds of hungry Palestinians again sought food, killing at least 10 people, witnesses and health workers said Saturday — a day after U.S. officials visited a GHF site and the U.S. ambassador called the troubled system “an incredible feat.”

 

In light of recently rewatching the South Korean action thriller Ballerina (2023) after viewing the 2025 Ballerina film from the John Wick universe, it becomes evident that these two works, despite sharing a common title, diverge sharply in tone, thematic ambition, and stylistic execution.

 

For all of President Donald Trump’s promises of an economic “golden age,” a spate of weak indicators this week told a potentially worrisome story as the impacts of his policies are coming into focus.

 

Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff and U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee toured a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation distribution site in Rafah, Gaza’s southernmost city, which has been almost completely destroyed and is now a largely depopulated Israeli military zone.

 

The federal Bureau of Prisons said Friday that Maxwell had been transferred to Bryan, Texas, but did not explain the circumstances. Her attorney confirmed the move but also declined to discuss the reasons for it.

 

The Fed has the responsibility of stabilizing prices and maximizing employment. Powell has held its benchmark rate for overnight loans constant this year, saying that Fed officials needed to see what impact Trump’s massive tariffs had on inflation.

 

International outcry over images of emaciated children and increasing reports of hunger-related deaths have pressured Israel to let more aid into the Gaza Strip. This week, Israel paused fighting in parts of Gaza and airdropped food. But aid groups and Palestinians say the changes have only been incremental and are not enough to reverse what food experts say is a “ worst-case scenario of famine” unfolding in the war-ravaged territory.

Then we'd be talking about "How Did Obesity Get So Much Worse in Gaza?"

 

Less food is going into Gaza now than during most other times in the war. Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed while heading toward aid sites. Many others are suffering from serious malnutrition, and Gazan health officials say scores have died from it.

When President Trump slammed India this week for purchasing large amounts of Russian oil, threatening a “penalty” tariff on top of a 25 percent levy, it came like a lightning bolt. India has been a leading and conspicuous buyer of Russian energy since the invasion of Ukraine three years ago, as most Western countries curtailed their purchases or stopped buying altogether.

Hoax. She was already 22 at the time.

The Notorious Rapist.

 

The Amateur arrives as a well-intentioned but ultimately uneven addition to the espionage-thriller canon. Its intellectual pursuits and grounded character depiction provide a fresh perspective but are occasionally compromised by underutilized cast members, restrained action sequences, and narrative density that detract from expected pulse-pounding excitement. While Malek’s portrayal offers a uniquely introspective spy, The Amateur’s slow-burning approach may not satisfy those seeking outright thrills or gripping emotional stakes.

Korean movie from 2023, I very much preffered the Korean movie.

Yep, a Korean movie from 2023. I really enjoyed that movie. If I had to choose between both Ballerina's, definitely the Korean one.

Trying to imagine them asking this of Russia.

The tariffs were framed around unfair trade practices, intellectual property theft, and protecting American manufacturing—not improving labor conditions abroad.

What if this awful, awful dark period in our lives somehow gives the Vietnamese or Cambodian worker a better life because the US is no longer willing to buy goods from countries that exploit their workforce?

I don't see how they can get a better life out of this, someone has to absorb the cost. In fact, many Southeast Asian countries saw trade increases as U.S. firms tried to move supply chains out of China.

What if American workers get a fair shake to do work for American consumers?

That’s the hope but for American workers to truly get a fair shake, tariffs need to be part of a larger plan. That means investing in domestic industries, enforcing labor standards, and making sure working people, not just corporations, benefit from any policy shifts.

Exactly my thoughts. Article doesn't actually say if she put a down payment for the car and if she lost the down payment.
