☆ Donald Trump's Lawsuit Over 'Steele Dossier' in London Court
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-16 | by ( Oct. | At A.M. | ) www.usnews.com time to read: +2 min

By Sam TobinLONDON (Reuters) - Donald Trump's lawyers will argue at London's High Court on Monday that the former U.S. president can pursue his lawsuit against a British private investigations firm over a dossier which alleged that Russia supported his 2016 election campaign. The "Steele dossier" made allegations about ties between Trump's 2016 election campaign and Russia, and said Trump engaged in "perverted sexual acts" which were monitored by Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB). Trump has previously criticised what he described as Steele's "fake dossier", and his lawyers say the report is inaccurate. He is seeking compensation for "personal and reputational damage and distress", which Trump's lawyers say were caused by the "false, intrusive and damaging allegations about (his) personal life". Trump's lawsuit against Orbis is one of many legal cases the former president is involved in.

From our home in Denver, my wife, three kids and I often travel to visit family in Florida, California, Georgia and New York. And when I travel for work as a professional credit card reviewer and consultant, I often bring a kid or two along. My path to companion pass bliss came through Southwest credit cards, such as the Southwest Rapid Rewards Priority Credit Card, but frequent flights can also get you there. As our family grew, my wife also began earning a Companion Pass, allowing the whole family to travel at a steep discount. For example, the Southwest Rapid Rewards Priority Credit Card offers 50,000 bonus points when you spend just $1,000 in the first three months.

☆ Climate change could impose 'substantial financial costs' on U.S. household finances, Treasury warns

Between 2018 and 2022, weather and climate disasters cost more than $617 billion, it found — a record. Transportation of food and goods may also be hit by climate events, leading to more delays and shortages on store shelves. "Food insecurity disproportionately impacts lower-income households, families led by single mothers, families with children, and households in Southern states." Climate events can also lead to increased medical expenses. The Treasury report notes that in one analysis from 2012, 10 climate events led to a total of $10 billion in health-related costs.

CNN —Former President Donald Trump is suing retired British intelligence officer Christopher Steele over the controversial dossier he compiled which shook Washington with its unverified and salacious allegations about Trump. Multiple US government inquiries uncovered dozens of contacts between Trump campaign associates and Russians, which have since been acknowledged. The money trail behind the Steele dossier has also been a subject of intense political scrutiny for years. About one year after the 2016 election, it became public that Steele was indirectly paid by Democrats to research Trump. Steele has faced a series of civil lawsuits in the US and UK stemming from the dossier.

[1/52] Sep 26, 2023; Atlanta, Georgia, USA; Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson (7) is honored before a game against the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park. The Braves, who trailed 6-0 entering the bottom of the sixth, rallied for the two decisive unearned runs against ex-Brave Drew Smyly (11-10). Chicago upped the lead to 6-0 thanks to Cody Bellinger's run-scoring single in the fourth and an RBI single by Ian Happ in the sixth. It was the club's 300th home run, making the Braves only the third team to reach that milestone. Later in the frame, Olson added a run-scoring single, his major-league-best 134th RBI, and Marcell Ozuna followed with a run-scoring double off the left field wall.

For Makenzie Steele, landing NIL deals with big companies like Under Armour and Lululemon required two things: posting consistently and putting her business email in her Instagram bio.

Steele started posting cooking and running content in late summer 2020 and has grown her platform to 42,000 Instagram followers and 23,000 TikTok followers. She's posted one-pan Caprese baked pasta, snickerdoodle granola, mini apple pancake bites, and lots of banana bread variations. "When someone first sees my account, they're like, 'it's just banana bread and oats,'" Steele said.

Among about two dozen scientists in Graham’s lab were three young students: Olubukola Abiona, Geoffrey Hutchinson and Cynthia Ziwawo. What the world didn’t know at the time was that those three students — Abiona, Hutchinson and Ziwawo — were doing the foundational work for those vaccines to eventually save lives. Geoffrey Hutchinson served in the Peace Corps and taught chemistry to high school students in Mozambique. The fruits of Abiona, Hutchinson and Ziwawo’s labor were evident this week as the United States began to roll out updated versions of the Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccines. Abiona, Hutchinson and Ziwawo all confirmed Wednesday that although they haven’t made their appointments yet, they plan to get the updated shots.
