9+ min ago (960+ words) By Kate Ashford, NerdWallet Although government shutdowns are a semi-recurring feature of American government, the most recent closure was the longest on record at 43 days " and left many feeling anxious. In just the second week of the closure, 41% of American adults reported reducing spending, 29% said they were delaying major purchases and 21% were dipping into savings to cover expenses due to the shutdown, according to a poll from GoDaddy and HarrisX. "This is certainly nothing new, but I think what happened with this one was, in a very strange way, kind of a good reminder that sometimes they can go on for longer," says Melissa Caro, a certified financial planner based in New York City and founder of the digital platform My Retirement Network. If you were directly affected by the shutdown, there are practical steps you can take to be…...

"Public executions are inhumane, a cruel and unusual punishment, and contrary to international law," he posted. Afghanistan's Taliban rulers have imposed a strict interpretation of Sharia law, which has included a return of public executions, as well as bans on Afghan women and girls from secondary school and university education and from most forms of employment. According to a statement by the Supreme Court, the execution was ordered after a death sentence was passed down by a court, an appeals court and the top ccourt itself, and approved by Afghanistan's supreme leader, Hibatullah Akhundzada.

55+ min ago (131+ words) December 2, 2025 / 6:15 AM PST / CBS LA A string of break-ins in the San Fernando Valley took place overnight within a matter of hours, leaving a neighborhood on edge. A multi-million-dollar home on Ostrom Avenue was broken into around 8:30 p.m. Police responded immediately, but the suspects had already taken off. There are several security cameras in and around the home, so investigators are hoping that this will help them figure out how many suspects there were and how they got into the home. Police are also trying to determine what, if anything, was taken. It does not appear that anyone was inside when this break-in happened." CBS LA crews saw private patrol cars driving through the neighborhood on Monday morning."...

1+ hour, 9+ min ago (195+ words) We figured it out a long time ago: Very little was going on. Donald Trump won the 2016 election with a victory almost unimaginable without the threat of terrorism that he and his supporters inflated at every opportunity. But terrorism was a small threat then and is even smaller today. How do I know? I've conducted many of the'most'thorough'analyses'of the threat of foreign-born and native-born terrorism on U.S. soil since then. None of Homan's worries metastasized. If Lakanwal was a terrorist, his single murder will make him the deadliest Afghan terrorist in U.S. history, despite the warnings of a massive wave of terror from the roughly 200,000 Afghans currently in the country. I wrote'in 2021 that the risk of Afghan terrorism is small. That remains'true today. As much as Lakanwal deserves punishment,'and we should all condemn his heinous'crime, nobody should compare his crime to…...

1+ hour, 28+ min ago (310+ words) Many Democratic-aligned states have sought to protect abortion access and some have investigated whether pregnancy centers mislead women into thinking they offer abortions. In New Jersey, Democratic attorney general Matthew Platkin sent a subpoena to First Choice Women's Resource Centers for donor information. First Choice pushed back, arguing the investigation was baseless and the demand for donor lists threatened their First Amendment rights. They tried to challenge the subpoena in federal court, but a judge found the case wasn't yet far enough along. An appeals court agreed. First Choice then turned to the Supreme Court. Executive director Aimee Huber said she hopes the high court will rule in their favor and send a message that protects facilities like hers. "I would hope that other attorneys general who have prosecuted or harmed or harassed other pregnancy centers, or are considering that,…...
