From where I was sitting Wednesday, it looked like
the attorney general pretty much dared the House Democrats to impeach her.
Here’s how the New York Daily News put it, summarizing the AP’s coverage of her testimony before the House Judiciary Committee:
"Attorney General Pam Bondi launched into a passionate defense of President Donald Trump Wednesday
as she tried to turn the page from relentless criticism of the Justice Department’s handling of the Jeffrey Epste…

The new emojis are out - at least the ones Apple includes in the next iOS update:
Distorted Face, Fight Cloud, Hairy Creature, Ballet Dancer, Orca, Landslide, Trombone, Treasure Chest
Another emoji originally was on the list for Unicode 17, then postponed to 18, and in October 25, it was removed from the draft. Probably because a certain company in the consortium took offense to it.

At the end of last year, my refurbished Pixel 5a died suddenly (due to a known chip issue), and I went with a used Pixel 9 to replace it.
Every phone I've owned as an adult has been used/refurbished, and I try to hold on to my phones until the wheels fall off. I'm always a bit behind on releases, so every "new" device feels like an improvement.
This is the first time that I've felt like my "new" phone is a regression from the previous one.

Inside Israel,👉 “there is no room for any question marks or doubts about this war,”
says journalist Gideon Levy,
a columnist for Haaretz and a member of the newspaper’s editorial board.
He says war fever has taken over the country, 🔸with polls showing 93% support for the U.S.-Israeli war in Iran, Lebanon and beyond
— at least among the Jewish public.
“Israel is doing as much as it can,” he says.
🔥“As long as the American support is so massive, so blind and…

Democracy Now! speaks with the veteran, Brian McGinnis,
who is also a Green Party candidate for Senate in North Carolina.
McGinnis is critical of U.S. policy in Israel and the Trump administration’s decision to go “full speed ahead with military action” in the Middle East.
McGinnis is charged with three counts of ass…
