On Thursday, the four members of the girl group—Solar, Hwasa, Moonbyul and Wheein—dropped their second full-length album, Reality in Black, along with the music video for their latest single, “HIP.” “It’s about living a life where you don’t care about how other people see you and it’s a song about a life that’s the most like you. Sincere ‘HIP’ comes from the mindset of loving myself, so the song conveys the meaning of valuing yourself and living confidently rather than caring about what others think,” MAMAMOO member Hwasa said of the release on Thursday, as reported by Korean entertainment news site Soompi....

Since last spring, progressive lawmakers in Congress have called for additional stimulus payments—or even recurring monthly checks—amid the coronavirus pandemic, which has led to historic levels of unemployment and financial hardship for millions of Americans. In March 2020, Congress approved a first round of up to $1,200 in stimulus checks for most Americans, while a second payment of $600 was passed in December. A third round of $1,400 stimulus checks came as part of Biden’s $1....

President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better Act extends the expanded Child Tax Credit, which is currently being paid in monthly installments, through the end of 2022. However, at a $2 trillion price tag, it faces an uphill battle in the Senate, but if passed, it would mean eligible guardians could continue to receive monthly checks for another year. When Congress passed the American Rescue Plan in March, legislators increased payments for the Child Tax Credit to $3,600 for eligible children under 6 and $3,000 for children between the ages of 6 and 17....

Sanders, who was sworn in as the state’s first woman governor on Tuesday, immediately issued a series of executive orders, including the CRT ban. Supporters have praised the move as an important step in the GOP’s broader culture war, however critics have said that the theory doesn’t even appear in school curriculum. Fox News Sunday host Shannon Bream pressed Sanders on the matter, mentioning a Democratic state lawmaker who said “CRT is not being taught” in classrooms....

Bartiromo generally is seen as supportive of Trump, having promoted the former president’s claims about the 2020 election. But during her most recent interview with Trump on Sunday Morning Futures, she appeared briefly exacerbated by his positive remarks about China’s president. “You know, I had a great relationship with President Xi. I really believe he liked me and I liked him. I had a great relationship—,” Trump said before Bartiromo cut him off to interject....

“If Dick Durbin, if Senator Warner, if Senator [Joe] Manchin—Senator Manchin does say it,” Kilmeade said. “If they wanted gas prices to go down, they would sit there with Mitch McConnell and other—or moderate Democrats like Mitt Romney—and they would say: ‘Hey, we need to drill more. We need to go back on all these environmental restrictions. We need to go back to natural gas.’ “They can even use Ukraine as an excuse,” Kilmeade went on....

Tensions between Iran and the U.S. have intensified in recent weeks over attacks on oil tankers in the strategically-important Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf, through which most of the world’s oil passes.

In exchange, Giuliani’s company, Giuliani Partners LLC, would receive at least $200,000 as payment. The negotiations were reportedly held during the same months that Giuliani was helping Trump probe for dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden’s family....

In a Saturday tweet, Trump threatened Iran, saying that his administration had compiled a list of 52 targets in the country, including some that were important to the “Iranian culture.” The remarks drew significant outcry, with regional analysts and some Democratic lawmakers arguing that such a strike would be “war crime” under international law. The president and his administration later walked back the threat, with Secretary of Defense Mark Esper asserting that the U....
