Acclaimed director David Lynch started smoking at age 8 and now relies on supplemental oxygen for anything more strenuous than a walk across a room, he said in an interview to People , warning people of the dangers of smoking. Lynch revealed in August that he suffers from emphysema, a chronic lung condition that causes shortness of breath. He also said that he had officially quit smoking two years prior. "I have to say that I enjoyed smoking very much, and I do love tobacco — the smell of it, lighting cigarettes on fire, smoking them — but there is a price to pay for this enjoyment, and the price for me is emphysema," he wrote on X. "Recently I had many tests and the good news is that I am in excellent shape except for emphysema." He added that he is "filled with hap...

What to watch in Washington today President-elect Donald Trump continues to build out his Cabinet ahead of his inauguration, announcing three picks yesterday, including Rep. Matt Gaetz , R-Fla., to be attorney general.

A gathering of the Conservative Political Action Conference kicks off at Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida today. Scheduled speakers include Argentine President Javier Milei ; Matt Whitaker, previously viewed as a candidate to become Trump's attorney general; and others. President Joe Biden is preparing to attend his f...

A Georgia mother was arrested and accused of allegedly endangering her son — all because the unsupervised 10-year-old walked less than a mile away from home, officials said. Brittany Patterson, 41, had taken another son to a doctor on Oct. 30 and she became mildly annoyed — but not at all worried — when the Fannin County Sheriff's Department called to say her 10-year-old boy Soren had wandered from their rural home in Mineral Bluff and into town. "It's not a super dangerous or even dangerous at all stretch of road," Patterson told NBC News, in an interview that aired Wednesday. "I wasn't terrified for him or scared for his safety." Deputies drove Soren, now 11, home and that was that, or so Patterson had thought. But then hours later, the sheriff's department came back to the...

The attorneys who've been defending Rudy Giuliani in a case seeking to force him to turn over his assets to two former election worker he defamed are asking a judge permission to drop him as a client. The exact reason for the request was redacted in a court filing late Wednesday, but the filing suggested Giuliani, who represented President-elect Donald Trump in his challenges to the 2020 election , was being an "unreasonably difficult" client. In the filing , Giuliani attorney Ken Caruso and co-counsel David Labkowski cited three provisions of the code of professional conduct allowing them to withdraw — when "the client insists upon taking action with which the lawyer has a fundamental disagreement;" "the client insists upon presenting a claim or defense t...

A fingerprint on a decades-old taxi application led to the arrest of a man accused of fatally shooting two people and leaving their bodies along a Massachusetts roadway in 1978, officials said. Timothy Scott Joley, 71, was arrested last month at his home in Clearwater, Florida, in connection with the murders of Theresa Marcoux, 18, and Mark Harnish, 20, Hampden District Attorney Anthony Gulluni announced on Facebook Wednesday. Their bodies were found on Nov. 19, 1978, off a roadway in West Springfield. Joley was taken into custody on a two-count murder complaint and arrest warrant and faces extradition to Massachusetts. It's not clear if he has obtained an attorney. It was only in the last month that Joley was linked to the decades-long cold case. Gulluni said an unident...

Where is Roshanak Molaei? The hashtag is circulating in Iran after the 25-year-old woman disappeared in Tehran after being taken into custody by police, raising concerns about her treatment as the country continues to crack down on women who defy mandatory hijab laws. The events that led to Roshanak Molaei's arrest did not start as a protest. A surveillance video shows the woman walking along a Tehran sidewalk on Nov. 1, before a man dressed in a military uniform approaches her from behind on a motorcycle. It is not clear from the angle of the footage whether the man verbally or physically accosted her, but according to the nearly 2-minute video that Molaei later posted to her X account, she reacted by grabbing the motorcyclist in a heated exchange that drew several bystanders....

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul gave the green light Thursday to relaunch the drive for congestion pricing in New York City , a first-in-the-nation plan aimed at reducing gridlock by imposing a $9 toll on most vehicles entering the core of Manhattan during peak hours. Hochul made the announcement four months after she put the brakes on an earlier version that would have gone into effect in June and would have charged cars $15 to enter Manhattan below 61st Street, and hit trucks with even higher tolls a few months later. At the time, Hochul said congestion pricing at that rate would be a hardship on New Yorkers struggling to make ends meet in the post-pandemic economy. “I believe that no New Yorker should have to pay a penny more than absolutely necessary to achieve these ...
