The idea that Cohen talked to Trump about Daniels on that call “was a lie,” Blanche alleged. Moreover, my experience has been that juries don’t decide based upon one moment — they base their judgment on an overall view.”There were allegedly three parties aware of the scheme to conceal the real reason Trump paid Cohen more than $400,000 in supposed legal fees: Trump, Cohen and Allen Weisselberg, then-chief financial officer of the Trump Organization. “Weisselberg could be the linchpin to validate Cohen’s claims about Trump agreeing to reimburse him through Trump Organization, as a business expense,” wrote attorney Stacy Schneider. Trump seems to be tempted to go mano a mano and show that he is better fit to be commander-in-chief. The new requirement for GOP politicians wanting to demonstrate their loyalty to Trump seems to be visiting the Manhattan courthouse where he’s on trial.

CNN —King Charles III’s first official portrait was unveiled this week, and I’m sure his majesty would agree it’s a stirring sight. Unfortunately for Yeo, Charles and the butterfly, nothing about the portrait has garnered nearly so much comment as its dominant color. Besides these ceremonial outings, Charles has recently been less prominent in British public life than ever, particularly following the announcement in February of his cancer diagnosis. Charles’ private wealth dwarfs that of any other member of his family.

Posts on social media and several surveys underscore just how pervasive the knowledge void is. A 2016 survey suggested that women of reproductive age also had notable gaps in their understanding of the menstrual cycle. The problem is partly rooted in the quality and depth of sex and health education in schools, which varies dramatically from state to state, Dr. Bobel said. In the fall, Washington, D.C., will become the first jurisdiction in the country to roll out mandatory, standardized classes on menstrual health starting in the fourth grade. In Florida, a new bill limiting education around the menstrual cycle for certain age groups will go into effect on July 1.

The US arm of the tampon company tweeted their spin on a well-used meme, saying: "You're in their DMs. People immediately expressed outrage with the tweet, saying it "sexualized" women's healthcare and was "demeaning" towards women. Others said the tweet was "creepy," considering minors often use Tampax products during menstruation, Sky News reported.

Tapping into that millennial nostalgia has become the way Miller and many other creators with similar throwback content pay their bills. And brands know that partnering with such creators, who have specifically built their followings around nostalgia content, can help them get more exposure from a desired demographic. It’s no surprise that nostalgia content has become so popular — as the age-old saying goes, everything old becomes new again. Nostalgia content feels authentic and plays to shared experiences, which helps it perform well with Gen Z and millennials alike, Karwowski said. In one video, Miller collaborated with the singer and 2000s heartthrob Jesse McCartney to promote his U.S. tour.
