A few days ago, Nikki Haley did herself, her party, and her country proud when she stood defiantly in a New York office lobby, asking her supporters to stay with her as she continues her campaign. "I will suffer for you," she told them. "I will not quit."

The NBA trade deadline was unsurprisingly mundane except for one team: the Dallas Mavericks. Sitting at 29-23, good for eighth in the West, GM Nico Harrison jettisoned Richaun Holmes, Seth Curry, Grant Williams and draft picks in two separate trades for PJ Washington from the Charlotte Hornets, and Daniel Gafford from the Washington Wizards. Rob Riggle, Amin Joseph, Joshua Malina and more share NBA Finals predictions However, since the Mavs moved their 2027 first-round pick, they don’t have a first rounder to trade through 2030. The new CBA rules dictate that teams can’t go consecutive years without a first-round pick.…

“Across social media, Kremlin sources have moved quickly to take advantage of Tucker Carlson’s interview as an opportunity to amplify propaganda aimed at building support for Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine,” Ben Scott, director at Reset, a London-based nonprofit that tracks disinformation campaigns, tells WIRED. This blanket coverage was repeated across Russia’s state-run media. Newsroom homepages are filled with multiple stories about the interview, and many of them highlight how successful Putin has been at getting his message to a Western audience. In one of a dozen articles published by state-run news agency RIA Novosti, the author claimed the interview…

Cruising the Hawaiian Islands offers U.S. travelers an immersive South Pacific escape with all the comforts of home. In fact, the Aloha State is in many ways an ideal cruise destination. It has year-round sunny weather, four main islands featuring varied topographies — including sandy beaches, cascading waterfalls, volcanic mountains and vibrant green valleys — and a wide array of land- and water-based activities. The main caveat? Hawaii cruise options are somewhat limited — just a fraction of what’s available in the Caribbean — and many itineraries involve multiday crossings from the West Coast. Only one cruise line offers Hawaii…

Duelling primary vote and caucuses meant Nikki Haley and Trump did not go head-to-head in the southwestern state. Former United States President Donald Trump has taken an easy victory in the Nevada caucuses, moving a step closer to claiming the Republican nomination for the 2024 general election. The results were far from a surprise, with Trump only facing longshot candidate Ryan Binkley in the caucuses. His top challenger Nikki Haley skipped the event, saying its organisers had heavily skewed the vote in Trump’s favour. As of Friday, he had claimed more than 99 percent of the about 60,000 votes cast…

PepsiCo (NASDAQ:PEP) delivered another batch of solid quarterly results and closed the books with yet another year of double-digit earnings growth. In prior quarterly coverage on PEP, I maintained a bullish posture on the stock. In Q3, I noted that the company had a clear path to their 10% organic revenue growth target. I also highlighted strength in key brands such as Doritos and Cheetos, as well as their strong international growth prospects. The moderation in PEP’s overall Frito-Lay division, however, led me to scale back my price target on the stock to the $190/share range. Following today’s release, I…

Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in Rafah – Gaza’s southernmost city – arrived there after being forced to move again and again, fleeing Israeli air strikes and ground attacks. But Israel’s prime minister has now asked troops to “prepare to operate” in Rafah too. He says “total victory” by Israel over Hamas is just months away. “We never want to leave Gaza,” says Umm Mohammad, a displaced woman. “We were born here, we live here and we want to die here.” The US has warned it will not support an unplanned Israeli offensive in Rafah, which it says would be…

Tucker Carlson released a video on the Tucker Carlson Network following his two-hour sit-down interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Tucker reflected on the outcomes of his interview with Vladimir Putin: Tucker Carlson: I’m just trying to assess this rationally. It’s interesting that he’s willing to say, yeah, I want some kind of settlement. And the final thing I’ll say is that if you’re wondering who the lunatics are, US officials have said on the record and have said to me, and are telling a bunch of people that part of the terms have to be Russia giving up Crimea.…

  Odyssey, a mushroom-based functional energy beverage maker, raised another $6 million in an equity investment to give it $14 million in total funding since launching its first drink two years ago. Odyssey’s products tap into the health benefits of Lion’s Mane and Cordyceps mushrooms to produce a drink that combines an energy boost with 2,750 milligrams of the mushrooms to provide cognitive clarity and focus. Lion’s Mane, in particular, was shown to positively impact cognitive function and mood in young adults, according to a 2023 National Institutes of Health pilot study.

By Natalie Brown, as told to Kendall Morgan When I was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer at age 33, I had to make a lot of tough decisions quickly, including whether to freeze my eggs before treatment started or not be able to have kids. We decided to go ahead with treatment immediately. In the beginning of treatment, I felt awful. I was exhausted, and there was little I could do. It took time to come to terms with the diagnosis. How I feel mentally still changes day to day. Overall, the emotional impact and experience hasn’t been what…
