No, Donald Trump's classified documents case is not like Joe Biden or Hillary Clinton cases

Almost immediately after the Justice Department on Friday unsealed its indictment against Donald Trump, the former president's allies began crying foul. Almost immediately after the Justice Department on Friday unsealed its indictment against Donald Trump, the former president's allies began crying foul, noting that -- at least so far -- no charges have been filed against President Joe Biden for retaining classified documents from his time as vice president or against Hillary Clinton for her use of a private email server as secretary of state. Posting to Twitter on Friday, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., denounced the "double standard." And appearing on ABC's "This Week" on Sunday, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said Clinton "got away" with doing something "similar" to what Trump did. Trump himself has made similar claims. But a review of government documents and public statements tied to all three investigations suggests th...

"I came to the trip ... sceptical that it was going to be possible in the short term to get global cooperation to reduce existential risk but I am now wrapping up the trip feeling quite optimistic we can get it done," Sam Altman told students in Tokyo. Regulators are scrambling to adapt existing rules and create new guidelines to govern the use of generative AI, which can create text and images and is engendering excitement and fear about its potential to reshape a wide range of industries.

Pigs run loose on metro highway after semitruck tips over in Minnesota

Pigs ran loose on a metro highway after a semitrailer truck that was carrying them overturned LITTLE CANADA, Minn. -- Pigs ran loose on a metro highway after a semitrailer truck that was carrying 50 hogs overturned, causing an hours-long shutdown Friday morning in Minnesota on Interstate 694. State troopers tried to corral several loose pigs that cameras showed running through traffic, the Star Tribune reported. The truck tipped over around 7:35 a.m. and caused morning rush hour traffic to back up for more than a mile, Minnesota Department of Transportation cameras showed. The truck driver was not hurt, according to Lt. Gordon Shank with the Minnesota State Patrol. Ten pigs died in the crash. Authorities rounded up the pigs, some of which were injured. Investigators are looking into what caused the semi to tip on its side as it navigated the curve on I-694 where it joins with northbound Interstate 35E. Nearly five years ago, more than 20 pigs spilled onto the roads in a more rural par...

NATO allies prepare unprecedented air deployment exercise over Europe in show of force to Russia

Germany is preparing to host the biggest air deployment exercise in NATO’s history BERLIN -- Germany is preparing to host the biggest air deployment exercise in NATO's history, a show of force intended to impress allies and potential adversaries such as Russia, German and American officials said Wednesday. The Air Defender 23 exercise starting next week will see 10,000 participants and 250 aircraft from 25 nations respond to a simulated attack on a NATO member country. The United States alone is sending 2,000 U.S. Air National Guard personnel and about 100 aircraft to take part in the June 12-23 training maneuvers. “This is an exercise that would be absolutely impressive to anybody who’s watching, and we don’t make anybody watch it,” U.S. Ambassador to Germany Amy Gutmann said. “It will demonstrate beyond a shadow of a doubt the agility and the swiftness of our allied force in NATO as a first responder,” she told reporters in Berlin. “I would be pretty surprised if any world leade...

Nottingham Forest in talks over permanent Dean Henderson transfer

Nottingham Forest are in talks with Manchester United over a potential permanent transfer for goalkeeper Dean Henderson, 90min understands. Henderson spent the 2022/23 campaign on loan with Forest, which saw the club survive in the Premier League in their first top flight season for 23 years. The 26-year-old had previously earned a reputation as a top Premier League goalkeeper during time on loan with Sheffield United. But he was unable to displace David de Gea at Old Trafford when that spell came to an end, despite signing a bumper long-term contract in 2020. Henderson was a regular starter for Forest in the first half of his loan at the City Ground, only for a thigh injury in January to rule him out for several months. At that point, the club drafted in three-time Champions League winner Keylor Navas for the rest of the season. 90min understands that Forest had been waiting to see whether re-signing Navas would be viable. But the 36-year-old Costa Rican is set to have numerous ...

Will the debt ceiling deal actually increase SNAP food stamp eligibility, cost?

Image
The nonpartisan CBO estimated the provisions relating to SNAP would add $2.1 billion in direct spending and 78,000 people would gain benefits in an average month. Work requirements for government safety net programs are back in the spotlight as the House readies for a key vote on the debt ceiling deal brokered by President Joe Biden and Speaker Kevin McCarthy. In a twist, a new analysis from the Congressional Budget Office released late Tuesday found tougher rules for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) that Republicans demanded would actually increase the number of people eligible for benefits, sometimes referred to as food stamps. The nonpartisan agency estimated the provisions relating to SNAP would add $2.1 billion in direct spending and 78,000 people would gain benefits in an average month. Top Republicans are calling the CBO report flat-out inaccurate, and McCarthy suggested the agency "double counted" some recipients already exempt from work requireme...
