And while Trump tried to tie Harris to President Joe Biden, he learned that she is a much tougher rival. While Trump tried to re-create the conditions of June’s fateful debate stage matchup, Harris reminded him, “You’re not running against Joe Biden. Harris tried to get under Trump’s skin, baiting him into a defensive posture that prevented him from attacking her weaknesses. And when Trump scolded Harris’ attempt to interrupt him, some allies lamented that he lost control at a key moment. Three Republican sources told NBC News after the debate that Trump came off as “angry” in that moment.

Longtime Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., was taken at the hospital Tuesday night and is receiving treatment after collapsing at an event in Washington, according to a congressional aide with knowledge of the situation. Later Tuesday night, Wilson's office confirmed the news in a post on X. "Congressman Joe Wilson (R-SC) was taken ill and is being evaluated at a local hospital in Washington, DC," his office said. Wilson, 77, was present for two vote series in the House on Tuesday afternoon and was joking with reporters just off the floor. Wilson has represented South Carolina in the House of Representatives since 2001.

☆ 49ers. vs. Jets: San Francisco spoils Aaron Rodgers’ return to NFL action with dominant win over New York

CNN —The San Francisco 49ers put in a dominant showing to beat the New York Jets 32-19 on Monday, spoiling Aaron Rodgers’ return to NFL action. Rodgers returned to NFL action for the first time since Week 1 last season. Thearon W. Henderson/Getty ImagesDespite the poor start, Rodgers soon showed why the Jets traded for him ahead of last season. However, the Jets offense then struggled to produce much until late in the third by which point San Francisco had built up a comfortable lead. Per the NFL, the Jets only had 21:20 minutes of possession, the lowest mark of Rodgers’ career.

Now a father, Jones continued to work steadily through the 1980s. (He won a second Emmy that night for his supporting turn in the TV movie “Heat Wave,” about the 1965 Watts race riots.) Over the ensuing three decades, Jones continued to work continuously — even after he was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 1995. That he never won an Oscar for a specific movie role, denying him the coveted EGOT, is a lingering symbol of just how much he was underappreciated over a prolific and profound career. Taylor, the UCLA professor, always includes a clip of Jones in the 1987 production of “Fences” in his master class on acting.

But it was only when Putin launched his full-scale invasion of Ukraine , in 2022, that Ammosov began to plot the overthrow of his homeland. As I found in months of wide-ranging interviews, everyone aspiring to a new Russian revolution grasps the seemingly impossible odds of their bid to topple Putin. Ponomarev — who was profiled last year in The Washington Post under the headline "Could this man bring down Putin?" Most applicants live in Russia, Sokolov tells me, but submissions have come from as far away as Uruguay. "I know a lot of good officers" in the CIA, Ponomarev told me, who "sympathize" with the anti-Putin insurgency.

☆ Fossils show that massive pterosaurs could fly millions of years ago

The newly discovered fossils preserved 3D structures within the delicate wing bones, which typically are found flattened like pancakes within rock layers. CT scans of the fossils provided a rare glimpse inside the wing bones belonging to two species of pterosaurs, including one new to science. These are not unlike those found in the wing bones of modern birds that flap their wings to fly, Rosenbach said. In contrast, spiral ridges within Arambourgiania’s wing bones resembled the interiors of vulture wing bones, which are thought to resist the forces associated with soaring. “They represent the largest animals with the capacity to fly,” Rosenbach said of the extinct reptiles.

☆ When Do Women Have the Right to Kill in Self-Defense? - The New York Times

Mr. Ford kept their daughter at home to ensure Ms. Ford wouldn’t tell anyone in the emergency room how Robert’s injury happened. Ms. Ford, now 65, is serving a sentence of life without parole at the Central California Women’s Facility in Chowchilla. Leigh Goodmark, the author of the book “Imperfect Victims,” said that self-defense law imagines two parties of equal strength, size, weight and physical capability. But where self-defense law really fails to capture a woman’s experience is around the question of imminence. For women like Ms. Ford, Ms. Ayobi and many others, killing their way out of a relationship was an act of salvation — for themselves, for their children.

David Copperfield was moving in. Years later, the building’s residents would be well aware — painfully aware — of the world-famous magician’s sprawling, four-floor penthouse apartment.

When done as a way to work through friction with someone else or bond with a friend, venting can be helpful, she said. Because the study also found that venting in an aggressive or antagonistic way can actually cost you friends. Wilson said that how you vent makes a difference in how relatable it feels to the person you're venting to. To a mutual friend, "you're not a safe person if you're just purely gossiping to put someone else down," she said. It's one thing if you want to get a gut check from a mutual friend or brainstorm ways you can resolve an issue, Wilson said.

Read previewShould Taylor Swift sue Donald Trump or just shake it off? "Swift could sue Trump and those who misappropriated her likeness by creating AI-generated images," Neama Rahmani, the president and a cofounder of West Coast Trial Lawyers, said. "So I wouldn't be surprised if they send the Trump campaign a cease-and-desist letter at a minimum," Rahmani said. Firmly in the "sue Trump" camp is James Walker Jr., a veteran entertainment attorney from Atlanta who reps the estate of Isaac Hayes. Swift would need to prove that the Trump campaign sent these images out with intent to deceive voters."

That’s made home insurance increasingly unaffordable or even inaccessible – and that’s leaving more people in the same position as the Daneaus. California’s largest insurer, State Farm, requested a 30% rate increase for its homeowner’s line last month. Last year, California Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara reached an agreement with insurers with an aim to cover approximately 85% of properties in high-risk areas. “[My insurance plan] wasn’t canceled but my insurance company increased the rates quite a bit,” she said. But he cautioned there’s no guarantee of that, leaving homeowners like the Daneaus grappling with uncertainty.

“The Qixi Festival is not as robust as previous years. Couples attend a kissing contest during the traditional Qixi festival in Shenyang, northeast China's Liaoning province, on August 13, 2013. “The only part of the world where consumer confidence remains very low is China,” L’Oreal CEO Nicolas Hieronimus told analysts on an earnings call late last month. Lower-than-expected growth in the global beauty sector this year is largely a consequence of low consumer confidence in China, he added.
