I went from a stay-at-home mom to a working momAs a stay-at-home mom when my older kids were little, I lived and breathed all things motherhood. She arrived home to her grandmother and two older sisters, who were already well into their stacks of homework. AdvertisementLynnette Lyons had her youngest daughter when she was 38, and her older daughters in her early 30s. But, spread so thin, I didn't realize my older kids' demands on my time had caused the baby of the family to feel like an afterthought.

Tesla's stock is down over 10% in the last year, and Elon Musk's net worth has also fallen. Lately, social media platform X has begun to look more like regular old Twitter. With his social media venture, X, that seems to mean returning to the app to the pre-Musk days of plain old Twitter. Musk and representatives for Tesla and X did not respond to requests for comment from Business Insider. "Honestly, the best thing that Twitter can do to regain its position is to sideline Musk.

Russia's Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu claimed Tuesday that Ukraine had lost 444,000 servicemen since the start of the war, or Russia's "special military operation, as it describes its invasion of Ukraine. "As a result of the decisive and active actions of our military personnel, the combat potential of the Ukrainian armed forces is decreasing. In total, during the operation, the Ukrainian armed forces had lost over 444,000 military personnel, he said, without presenting evidence to back up his comment. Russia's claims that Ukraine has lost over 444,000 personnel is wildly above Ukraine's admission last weekend that it had lost 31,000 troops in the war so far. Ukraine's military said last weekend that over 411,000 Russian personnel had been killed in the war.

The United States, Germany, the U.K., Spain, Poland and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg were among those denying that sending ground troops into Ukraine was an option. She claimed NATO countries' denials that they planned to send their ground troops into Ukraine showed the West had "betrayed Ukraine and will continue to use and betray it," repeating Moscow's baseless claims that Western countries are using Ukraine to destroy Russia. After the conference, Macron said discussions had also covered the possibility of deploying ground troops, although he said there was no agreement on the issue. France was left looking increasingly isolated throughout the day Tuesday, with the White House also distancing itself from Macron's comments. When asked about Macron's comments, Kirby said "well, that's a sovereign decision that every NATO ally would have to make for themselves.

CNN —“Russia, Russia, Russia.”Ex-President Donald Trump’s scathing catch phrase for a torrent of investigations during his administration also serves as an apt catch-all for the current meltdown over Moscow roiling US politics. But Russia and its leader, whom President Joe Biden described as a “crazy S.O.B.” at a Wednesday fundraiser, won’t go away. All the ways Putin is playing in US politicsPutin is advancing Russian interests against the US on multiple fronts. Putin recently formalized his warming ties with North Korean tyrant Kim Jong Un by presenting him with a new limousine. The Russian leader was particularly incensed by the US-led operation to topple Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi in 2011.

Previewing a central reelection argument in a rematch between Trump and President Joe Biden, Harris said the likely Republican nominee relishes his role in new, restrictive abortion laws that have emerged in the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s 2022 ruling. Still, Biden and Harris have acknowledged that fully restoring the protections included in Roe will be impossible without congressional action. “President Joe Biden has been very clear, when Congress puts the protections of Roe back into the law, he will sign it,” Harris told Coates in Wisconsin. “Similarly, President Joe Biden has been very clear if these extremists achieve their other goal, which is to have a national ban, which means state by state by state. Joe Biden will veto that.”“The stakes are high,” she said.

It was likely to be his second-to-last day serving in Congress, and Representative George Santos of New York seemed determined to go out the way he came in: as a scandal-plagued curiosity attracting maximum attention. The serial fabulist, indicted on 23 federal felony counts, arrived on the Capitol grounds at 8 a.m. Thursday for a news conference where he railed against the precedent that was being set with the vote to expel him scheduled for the following day. Dressed in navy Ferragamo loafers he insisted were not purchased with cash he stands accused of stealing from his campaign (“Go on the website,” he said. “They’re six years old!”), Mr. Santos was surrounded by a semicircle of reporters he had lured out of bed with a promise of “big news.”He did not resign. Instead, he said he was introducing a motion to expel another member, Representative Jamaal Bowman of New York, who earlier this year pleaded guilty to pulling a fire alarm in a House office building as Democrats sought to delay a congressional vote.

☆ Opinion: The lost art of waiting in line

Lining up to board a plane has become a stark indicator of how our society has commodified the very act of waiting. You can even avoid the line to see Santa by purchasing a photo package in advance. In psychological terms, waiting is often framed as a component of delayed gratification and is contrasted against instant gratification. When did the act of waiting get such a bad rap?”The very act of waiting can enhance our appreciation of something. Perhaps the person waiting in line to see their favorite singer perform in concert relishes the night more because of the time invested in getting into the venue.

That was the vision of Joan Kroc, billionaire philanthropist and heiress to the McDonald’s fortune of her husband, Ray. And today, 20 years later, 26 grand, state-of-the-art Kroc centers have opened in places as varied as Ashland, Ohio; Guayama, Puerto Rico; and Quincy, Illinois. Half was to be earmarked for the construction of recreation centers, with the other half deposited into endowments to support them. In the two decades since Kroc’s bequest, quantifying the precise impact on all of the communities served by the Kroc centers is difficult. She explained that Joan Kroc meant for the place to be accessible to all — that beauty was part of her plan.

The court is definitely not liberal. But it’s equally clear that it is not MAGA. The Supreme Court is in many ways a throwback to the status quo before Donald Trump descended his escalator. Prior to Trump’s arrival on the political scene, there were of course abundant disagreements, many of them heated, between the American right and left. Or to put it another way, MAGA jurisprudence demands victory and then relishes the liberal outrage that follows.
