Could Matt Gaetz decide to keep his House seat? It’s complicated

Questions have been raised concerning Matt Gaetz's political future ever since he resigned from the House and later withdrew his name from consideration to be President-elect Donald Trump's attorney general pick. Gaetz was re-elected this month to serve in his Florida district when the next Congress convenes in January, despite his resignation from the current Congress last week. Which begs the question: Could he come back? Here's some information. Gaetz can't return to Congress this year Gaetz's official position in the current 118th Congress came to an end when he filed his resignation. In the remaining weeks of this Congress, he will not be able to regain his seat. A resignation normally cannot be revoked and takes effect on the terms specified, according to the House's so-called...

Why airline passenger walks to the terminal gate may get a little longer

The Northwest Arkansas National Airport Regional Airport Authority became the most recent in a growing number of airports to decide that travelers will simply have to use their own two feet to go to gates when they voted in September to remove the terminal's lone moving sidewalk. The airport claims that the people mover caused more trouble for travelers than it did good. According to Olivia Tyler, a spokeswoman for the Northwest Arkansas National Airport Regional Airport Authority, it would malfunction frequently when it was operating. She added that the outdated walkway was taking up a lot of room and that she couldn't recall the last time it operated. The walkway will be taken out and replaced with extra chairs and terrazzo flooring. Our rate of growth is astounding. Tyler stated that ...

British carmaker Jaguar reveals glossy rebrand that features no cars, confuses the internet

It's undoubtedly striking: A group of multiracial, gender-bending models enter an austere, prismatic setting after emerging from an elevator wearing state-of-the-art makeup and vibrant apparel to a techno-industrial beat. However, the renowned British automaker Jaguar's new rebranding lacks one essential component: automobiles. Online comments on the advertisement have ranged from perplexed to appalled, with some equating the possible backlash to Bud Light's employment of a trans influencer in deviating far from its target audience. The advertising was deemed "disastrous" by a communications specialist on X because it placed too much emphasis on branding rather than the actual goods. "Something along the lines of 'our cars are engineered to the gills and go very very fast,' is what Jaguar ...

How the world’s 431 women billionaires make, spend and give away their fortunes

According to a new survey, women are becoming a greater proportion of the billionaire class, with a new set of aspirations and charity, as their share of global wealth increases. According to the Altrata Billionaire Census, 431 (13%) of the 3,323 billionaires worldwide are women. Even if that might not seem like much, over the last ten years, their numbers and share have been steadily increasing. The paper states that the feminization of the three-comma club will continue to be aided by the rise in female entrepreneurship, the gradual shift in cultural attitudes, and the increasing frequency of significant intergenerational wealth transfers. The strongest motivator has been inheritances. According to the survey, three-quarters of today's 431 female billionaires inherited some of their fort...

IAEA board passes Iran resolution as West pushes Tehran toward talks

ViennaThe 35-nation Board of Governors, the U.N. atomic watchdog, passed a resolution on Thursday urging Iran to immediately strengthen its cooperation with the organization and calling for a thorough report to put pressure on Iran to engage in new nuclear negotiations. The resolution's proposers, Britain, France, Germany, and the United States, rejected an Iranian last-minute attempt to curb its store of nearly weapons-grade uranium as insufficient and dishonest. According to diplomats, Iran's action was contingent on the resolution being abandoned. Iran has stated that it would retaliate in kind to this resolution, which it often finds offensive. It has increased its nuclear activity and decreased IAEA control following earlier criticism at the International Atomic Energy Agency's Board ...

Who would arrest Netanyahu? ICC warrant for Israeli leader draws a global dividing line

Over a year after the start of its disastrous war in Gaza, the arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prompted a reckoning on Friday for the U.S. ally's international standing. A diplomatic boundary between those that claimed to support the International Criminal Court and those that vowed to oppose it was drawn by the warrants also issued for former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Hamas military chief Mohammed Deif. Given that he led his nation's attack on the Palestinian enclave and is accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity, Netanyahui is unlikely to be placed in handcuffs anytime soon as long as he stays away from Ireland and the Netherlands, both of which have stated that they would arrest him if he went there. On the other hand, Hungary p...

Boston man charged in attack on transgender woman on a train

Authorities charged a Boston man with assault and other offenses after he allegedly kicked and punched a transgender woman during a violent train incident last month. According to a news statement from the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office, the 41-year-old woman told transit police that she was attacked at the Maverick rail station on Halloween. According to the DA, she said that the suspect, Gregory Burnett, screamed insulting phrases at her, including "you re not a woman, you re a man," while punching and kicking her. According to the woman, Burnett grabbed her foot by the heel and dragged her leg as she attempted self-defense, forcing her to fall and break her wrist. She informed transit police that she thought her gender identification was the reason behind the attack. In a sta...

Trump’s tariffs could raise the cost of generic drugs in the U.S.

If President-elect Donald Trump fulfills his pledge to slap broad tariffs on goods from China and other foreign nations, many consumers may have to pay more for generic medications, according to policy experts. Trump suggested 20% general taxes on all imports and at least 60% tariffs on Chinese goods throughout his campaign. The premise is that raising the cost of imported goods would incentivize American businesses to source more and consumers to purchase more domestically. However, experts point out a significant problem with that strategy: very few generic medications are indeed produced in the United States. Generic medication production has shifted overseas over the past few decades as U.S. production has become less viable. According to Dr. Aaron Kesselheim, a Harvard Medical School ...
