Why it matters: Biden’s comments that “MAGA Republicans” are a “threat” to democracy and other criticisms of former President Trump and his “Make America Great Again” movement are some of the most pointed yet. Worth noting: Biden’s comments at a Democratic fundraiser earlier in the evening that “it’s not just Trump, it’s the whole philosophy behind the — I’ll say something — it’s like semi-fascism” drew the ire of some Republicans....

China warned on Tuesday that it would take “coercive measures” if Canada intervenes in Taiwan, following news that a delegation of Canadian parliamentarians planned to visit the island later this year to explore trade opportunities. China, which claims Taiwan as its territory under the “one China principle”, opposes foreign politicians visiting the island. The Democratic Republic of Taiwan’s government rejects China’s claims.

“I would really like to thank my parents for not changing my gender when I went through my boy phase. I love this girl life,” Brittany wrote in an Instagram clip of herself wearing makeup to Beyonce’s “Upgrade U” on Wednesday. “Lmao!!

Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz said Friday that there is a “real risk” that President Biden’s student loan forgiveness program will drive Democratic turnout this midterm election season. “If you’re that slacker barista who wasted seven years in college studying completely useless stuff, now has loans and can’t get a job, Joe Biden just gave you 20 grand,” he said on his “Verdict with Ted Cruz” podcast.

Bild: Radio Bremen/Leonard Steinbeck Am Mittwoch soll die Kuppel des schiefen Pierturms hochgezogen werden Das Projekt wurde kurzfristig auf Donnerstag vertagt Experten wollen den Turm später Stück für Stück abtragen Am Mittwochnachmittag sollte es losgehen, doch dann wurde die Aktion abgesagt: Die sich verziehende Kuppel des Bremerhavener Pierturms sollte vom Steinturm gehoben werden. Doch kurz nach 19 Uhr wurde das Projekt aus Gründen des Arbeitsschutzes auf Donnerstag verschoben, teilte der Sprecher der Hafengesellschaft Bremenports, Holger Bruns, mit....

Comment Clearly, what Florida Governor Ron DeSantis wanted was a Tom Cruise comparison. Hence the “Top Gov” tagline at the start of his latest political ad, which resembles that of Cruise’s “Top Gun” movies, and the slow shots of the Republican governor lifting a flight suit over a high-energy track guitar. DeSantis is “briefing” an out-of-sight group – presumably Florida voters – on the “rules of engagement” for the “dogfight” with the “corporate media....

Sixteen of the 22 airports analyzed have introduced or increased passenger drop-off charges in the past three years, according to RAC research. The car services firm claimed drivers will be “surprised” by some of the “high” charges. Stansted Airport continues to top the table for the most expensive “kiss and fly” charges, which are usually charged to drop someone off as close to the terminal as possible. Essex Airport’s initial charge is £7 for up to 15 minutes, up from £4 for 10 minutes in 2019, before the coronavirus pandemic....

Annoncées depuis plusieurs jours, mais absentes des abonnés dans certaines zones, les tempêtes ont néanmoins touché l’Occitanie dans la nuit du jeudi 25 à ce vendredi 26 août 2022. La Haute-Garonne était irriguée S’ils ont (encore) évité Toulouse, qui est restée sèche, contrairement à ce que prévoyaient certains modèles météo de Météo France, de fortes pluies et parfois de la grêle ont eu un impact sur de nombreux appartements. S’il n’a pas plu à Toulouse et dans la plaine toulousaine où la nuit était encore très douce (voire chaude pour la saison), un fort orage traversait la Haute-Garonne, notamment Volvestre où il en a reçu une trentaine de milliers....

A quelques jours du début du procès de l’attentat de Nice, Christian Estrosi, le maire de la ville, a annoncé, ce dimanche sur Twitter, qu’il allait saisir le procureur après la diffusion de « messages haineux faisant référence à l’attentat “. Ces messages auraient été diffusés sur les réseaux sociaux par des supporters de l’Olympique de Marseille, a indiqué Anthony Borré, premier adjoint au maire de Nice, à BFM Nice Côte d’Azur....

L’entrée de Blass a tout changé Remplacé au coup d’envoi après son vrai faux départ, Ludovic Blass est entré en jeu à la mi-temps sous une standing ovation des Beaujois. Par son activité et ses dribbles, il a été le grand artisan du réveil des îles Canaries. Gesad et Mohamed ouvrent leur comptoir Arrivés cet été au FC Nantes, Evann Guessand et Mostafa Mohamed, tous deux têtes étanches, ont inscrit leurs premiers buts sous les couleurs nantaises....

You’d be forgiven for thinking the images are of Marin herself, especially considering the Herald-Sun’s colleague news.com.au similarly ran “Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin apologizes for topless photo” and everyone from Australia’s public broadcasters ABC and SBS on commercial channel 9 shared the stories of Finland’s ‘Party PM’. The “topless pictures” are not, of course, of the Finnish prime minister – they are not even particularly “topless”. Those in plain view playfully shield individuals’ chests with a sign that reads ‘Finland’ – a gesture of brand patriotism if ever there was one....

Maxwell Frost, a 25-year-old community organizer and one of the first members of Gen Z to run for Congress, will win the Democratic nomination in CNN projects in Florida’s 10th District. He beat a crowded field of candidates seeking to replace Orlando-area Democratic Rep. Val Demings, including state Sen. Randolph Bracy, former U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown — who recently settled a federal corruption case after winning a new trial and serving more than two years in prison – and former US Rep....

In a Facebook Live broadcast at 3:20 a.m., Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation (ACFN) Chief Allan Adam said the building is “completely destroyed.” In the video, flames have engulfed the structure and it soon retreats, fearing that a fuel tank has caught fire....

“Just like old times,” suggested a season ticket holder to his friend. Now, such talk is a bit premature. Although quite beautiful, this performance was for long periods ineffective. But what Arsenal have is a new resilience. Take Gabriel Magalhães. His charm on the edge of the area allowed Aleksandar Mitrovic to steal possession and put Fulham in front. But after Martin Ødegaard’s equaliser, Gabriel hit a winner to ensure Arsenal end the weekend at the top of the league....

„Die Gesellschaft kann die Verluste jetzt nicht ertragen, während viele Unternehmen in dieser Krise übermäßige Gewinne erzielt haben. Das kann man Leuten nicht erklären, die nicht wissen, wie man den Winter verbringt“, sagte der Co-Vorsitzende der Jugendorganisation. Stattdessen forderte Heinrich eine Überschusssteuer und eine Tankdeckelung. Lesen Sie auch Der stellvertretende Vorsitzende der Grünen, Richard Lange, wiederholte angesichts anhaltender Kritik die Forderung nach einer übermäßigen Gewinnsteuer. Lange sagte am Donnerstag in Berlin: „Natürlich stört es auch das Fairnessgefühl, wenn Unternehmen, die woanders große Gewinne machen, ihre Kosten jetzt frühzeitig auf die Verbraucher abwälzen wollen....

Elster-Server laufen nach anfänglichen Problemen wieder Vielleicht, weil Anfang Juli die Server beim Finanzamt ausgefallen sind. Das Steuerportal Elster war dieser Aufgabe nicht gewachsen. Die Website konnte am ersten Wochenende etwa 100.000 gleichzeitige Besuche nicht bewältigen. Viele Nutzer beklagten erneut die mangelnde Digitalisierung in Deutschland – und ein zu kompliziertes Steuersystem. In den sozialen Medien ist fast täglich Kritik zu lesen. Bürger beschweren sich auch über schlecht erreichbare Telefonleitungen. Die bayerische Finanzverwaltung bedauert die Anlaufprobleme bei Elster....
