A defiant Pete Hegseth lashed out at his critics on Thursday. "I get knocked down, but I get up again," he told reporters at the Pentagon. "You're never gonna keep me down." Revealing the secret to his resilience, Hegseth said, "I drink a whiskey drink, I drink a vodka drink, I drink a lager drink, I drink a cider drink."

Ayatollah Khamenei’s official account on X posted an image rich with Shia religious symbolism. The image used Imam Ali’s title “Hyder,” which, in Iran, represents a battle cry. It also showed a clerical figure, holding a sword
An illustration features a figure holding a sword, with golden streaks of light emanating from it. 

The background is a mix of blue and darker hues, suggesting movement and energy. 

Text in Arabic is present, translating to "In the name of the exalted Hyderabad, peace be on him"

I learned on Saturday that Bari Weiss spiked our story, INSIDE CECOT, which was supposed to air tonight. We (Ori and I) asked for a call to discuss her decision. She did not afford us that courtesy/opportunity.

JUST weeks after ditching his second wife, America's best-known billionaire Donald Trump has fallen under the spell of a 20-year-old English girl. Trump, 50, was in search of another British trophy when he met London model Anouska De Georgiou at a party in Manhattan.

Received wisdom holds that complex multicellular life did not emerge and diversify until the Ediacaran. Mounting evidence suggests that such organisms may have arisen hundreds of millions of years earlier than that, during the supposedly uneventful Proterozoic

If you want to know why a Democratic Senator and Representative in Minnesota were shot... It might have something to do with the fact that their deaths would end the Democratic majorities in both chambers.

A night sky filled with clouds, with dark foliage visible at the bottom of the image. A subtle light source creates a soft glow, highlighting some clouds and trees. One cloud is smiling and sticking out its tongue.

The Santa Barbara Hands Off demo ended at the beach, where The Society of Fearless Grandmothers organized the human alphabet message and took this drone shot (I'm at the very top of the exclamation mark)
An aerial view of a large group of people gathered on a beach, forming the message "HANDS OFF" in the sand. 

Surrounding the beach are palm trees and a scenic coastal landscape, with a mix of urban and natural elements in the background
