Cleveland Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, who had just won a landslide reelection in 2018, contemplated a presidential run on a populist platform that targeted the large number of working-class Midwest voters who had defected from the Democratic Party to Donald Trump. Brown did not participate in the White House campaign. Six years later, he is about to lose his job after losing his campaign for a fourth term in the Senate. He will not be holding an elected seat for the first time since 1992 and for the second time since 1974. Meanwhile, Brown and the Democrats are already facing existential issues as Trump prepares to return to the White House next month. While just retaining two Senate seats in Michigan and Wisconsin, the GOP also lost one in Pennsylvania. Trump won Ohio by a landslide in ...

Dr. Kompal Parmar, a board-certified physician in Lubbock, Texas, claims that because so many of us spend so much time bent over screens, bad posture has become something of an epidemic that is leading to a number of chronic health issues. Because of the usage of computers, iPads, and cell phones, we're seeing it much more, especially in younger groups, she says. If we don't use these tools with the proper awareness, we may eventually have problems with our spine alignment. According to studies, bad posture can lead to a number of long-term health problems, such as back and neck discomfort, joint damage, migraines, poor digestion, and even respiratory problems. A solution to the issue is provided by posture correctors. Either by digitally checking your alignment or by physically constra...

Washington According to a copy of the complaint seen by NBC News, Donald Trump is suing Ann Selzer, her polling company, The Des Moines Register, and the parent company of the newspaper, Gannett, alleging consumer fraud. According to the lawsuit, which was filed Monday night in Polk County, Iowa, it aims to hold people accountable for blatantly interfering with an election that showed Kamala Harris leading by three percentage points in Iowa on November 2. Trump's attorneys claim in the lawsuit that the fact that he won the state by double digits is election-interfering fiction. The assertion is being made by the president-elect in accordance with the Iowa Consumer Fraud Act, which forbids misleading advertising. This is what I'm doing because I feel obligated to. Speaking about the laws...

Even in a country that has grown numb to the horror of school massacres, Monday's shooting death of a student and a teacher at a private Christian school in Wisconsin was shocking. Surprisingly, Natalie Rupnow, the culprit who allegedly committed suicide during the outburst, was a girl and only 15 years old. The number of mass shootings committed by women is quite low. Only 4.3% of the 441 mass shootings that occurred in the US between 1966 and 2022 were committed by women, according to statistics from the think tank Rockefeller Institute of Government. There have only been four since 1982, and two of those cases included women acting in tandem with a man, according to an open-source database kept up to date by Mother Jones. Jennifer Sanmarco, a 44-year-old postal worker, killed seven peop...

LAS VEGAS The Oklahoma City Thunder and Houston Rockets, two rising Western Conference rivals, got into a little altercation on the court near the end of the second NBA Cup semifinal game. Two defenses who enjoy mauling one another had been playing a hard game, and at last the rivalry between the sides erupted into some light shoving, jawing, and posturing. Following the game, Thunder forward Jalen Williams stated, "[The NBA Cup] does have a certain energy to it that makes it very competitive." The money is most likely the reason. However, it has a highly competitive element. Everyone wants free money, of course. NBA executives were likely pleased to see the animosity between the teams and Williams' remarks, even though the league would never fully acknowledge that it was okay for playe...

The guy suspected of being the Gilgo Beach serial killer was charged with murder again on Tuesday, increasing the total number of alleged victims to seven, all of whom were women killed close to New York City.
