Sarah Paulson still doesn’t fully understand why fans call her “mother.”At first, when she started seeing the word used online to describe her, she was bewildered and a bit irritated. Did these people really think she looked like their mother? “How did this happen to us?” Paulson wondered about her and Pascal, a longtime friend. “We were two 18-year-old kids who used to go to Sheep Meadow and smoke pot and go see Peter Weir movies. How did we become the mother and father of children on the internet?”For Paulson, the answer is a 30-year career that has wound its way from television bit parts to meaty lead roles as fraught real-life people.

A legal advisor in Russia's Cuban community told Politico that he had received a number of pleas for help from Cubans.

BUENOS AIRES, June 24 (Reuters) - Argentina's presidential election battle lines have hardened after economy minister Sergio Massa entered the race in a dramatic late twist to take on front runners including a conservative city mayor, ex-security czar and libertarian economist. The most notable late confirmation has been Economy Minister Sergio Massa, whose candidacy was announced somewhat unexpectedly Friday night. "This completely changes the political scene," said Alejandro Corbacho, director of political science program at Argentine University UCEMA. Larreta, Bullrich, and Massa are roughly even in the polls, with Milei polling slightly ahead. With no candidate or party polling over 50%, the likelihood is the October election will lead to a run-off, with all still to play for.

„Mâine voi propune Consiliului de Miniştri graţierea a nouă condamnaţi pentru rolul lor în tentativa de secesiune”, a declarat liderul socialist în prestigiosul Gran Teatre del Liceu din Barcelona, transmite Agerpres. Într-o punere în scenă atent orchestrată, Sanchez a declarat că „guvernul spaniol a optat pentru reconciliere” şi „a crezut că această măsură de graţiere va deschide această cale'', în timp publicul cerea o ''amnistie'' completă. Tentativa de secesiune a bogatei regiuni din nord-estul Spaniei a fost una dintre cele mai grave crize politice prin care a trecut Spania de la sfârşitul dictaturii lui Franco, în 1975. În pofida interdicţiei justiţiei, guvernul regional al liderului pro-independenţă Carles Puigdemont a organizat un referendum de autodeterminare, care a fost marcat de violenţe poliţieneşti transmise în toată lumea. Urmăriţi penal, liderii pro-independenţă, precum Carles Puigdemont, au părăsit Spania sau au ajuns în spatele gratiilor.
