Biden has personally denied calling Trump supporters “garbage,” saying his comment on a video call Tuesday night been misinterpreted. “One of my people came in and said, ‘Sir, you know the word ‘garbage’ is the hottest thing right now. Sir, would you like to drive a garbage truck?” Trump said. “They pulled up this garbage truck. “And just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico ‘a floating island of garbage,’” Biden said.

AdvertisementAfter perfecting that college essay and building an impressive transcript, the college tour is the next step in choosing the best school for a student's continuing education. While some school narrowing is accomplished during applying, few students pick their future alma mater without ever stepping on a campus. No one is saying that the college dining hall resembles the Plastics ruling North Shore High School's seating chart.

“We have to reduce spending to live within our means,” Musk said. That gives Musk’s frankness about reductions — and his track record of making large, painful cuts at his own companies — added weight. The Trump campaign didn’t immediately comment but has previously said that the GOP agenda wouldn’t cause short-term economic hardship. There’s some skepticism on Wall Street that a new Trump administration could implement spending cuts on the scale Musk has proposed. “They’re both indicating they intend to maintain substantial deficits and elevated government spending, certainly compared with the strength of the economy,” Elliott said.

LONDON — Two people have been hospitalized after a fire broke out at the shipyard that builds Britain’s nuclear-powered submarines, but there is “no nuclear risk,” police said Wednesday. Cumbria Constabulary said a “significant” fire broke out soon after midnight at the BAE Systems shipyard in Barrow-in-Furness, northwest England. “When I opened the front door, we just saw a lot of black smoke,” said Donna Butler, who lives next to the shipyard. “It was a lot of black smoke, like really thick black smoke, and it was very loud.”The force said two people were taken to hospitals with suspected smoke inhalation and there were no other casualties. The 150-year-old shipyard, about 220 miles northwest of London, is currently building several nuclear-powered submarines for the Royal Navy.

An eighth-inning rally capped by sacrifice flies by second baseman Gavin Lux and outfielder Mookie Betts put the Dodgers in front. This title, the eighth in franchise history, can stand beside the Dodgers’ trophy from the pandemic-shortened season in 2020. The precedent feels preposterous until you consider the current Dodgers who will one day join them in the Hall of Fame. “Mark,” he told Freeman, “wants to win really bad.” That desire became clear to Ohtani when he met with the Dodgers. After Freeman launched his grand, Gibsonian walkoff in Game 1 against the Yankees, the Dodgers got the job done.
