But figuring out whether a date uses dark psychology tricks is more nuanced than scanning their potential red flags. Instead of trying to suss out if your charming date is a dark empath, Wright said there is a healthier — and much simpler — way to tell if a romantic partner is shady. The first is to actively learn what a healthy relationship looks like, even if it seems contrary to what feels natural. The other is to engage in somatic exercises and mindfulness so that you feel more connected to your body physically.

The legal battles have underscored the pervasiveness of domestic violence and the strains on existing support for survivors. To capture a snapshot of the experiences of domestic violence survivors, The New York Times observed some of the calls and messages the hotline received in one day. Congress approved creation of a national hotline dedicated to domestic violence in 1994, including it in the landmark Violence Against Women Act. Josie Slawik, who began working to support domestic violence survivors after she arrived at an El Paso shelter, was there when the hotline took its first call in 1996.

In a recent television interview, Trump said he was considering restricting access to birth control and leaving the decision to the states. Taking to social media, Trump falsely claimed that neither he nor the Republican Party supported imposing restrictions on or banning birth control. The plans call for again attacking birth control through executive action, including threatening access to IUDs and emergency contraception. In Arizona, GOP Senate Majority Leader Sonny Borrelli absurdly suggested that women could simply hold “an aspirin between their knees” as birth control. In Iowa, legislation falsely conflated birth control with abortion to block the approval of over-the-counter birth control pills.

The entitled employeeDon't ever act like you're owed a promotion or raise, says Tom Gimbel, CEO of staffing and recruiting firm LaSalle Network. "[People who say] 'I'm only going to do what's in my job description, I'm not going the extra mile, I'm not going to commit time to this' and expect to be rewarded" aren't desirable employees, Gimbel tells CNBC Make It. Sometimes, employees are caught off-guard when colleagues with less tenure get promoted first, but time alone doesn't entitle anyone to a promotion. When the employee turned in the work, it contained a noticeable error — and they blamed Fox, saying her instructions were unclear.

CNN —Former “Meet the Press” moderator Chuck Todd delivered a stunning rebuke of NBC News on Sunday, blasting the network for hiring former Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel as a paid political analyst. As RNC chair, McDaniel was a prominent election denier, working to help disgraced former President Donald Trump subvert the 2020 vote. Asked why she didn’t offer such condemnation as RNC chairwoman, McDaniel responded, “When you’re the RNC chair, you kind of take one for the whole team. But Todd noted that because McDaniel was a paid network contributor, it was not clear whether she was being genuine. But Todd disagreed with NBC News’ decision, adding that McDaniel has “credibility issues.”Others on the Sunday broadcast panel agreed with Todd’s assessment.
