Ambience: The common areas feature floors and furniture with devil-red textures and black-lacquer finish. Caged stone lions and two larger-than-life samurai warriors stand guard over the red crystal lobby. Rooms: Inside, the rooms are warm and plush, accented by 1930s-inspired furnishings and black-and-white wallpaper prints of Rome. Plasma screens and wireless keyboards mean you don’t even have to leave bed to check e-mail. The hotel’s 96 rooms range from €200 to €2,000 a night....

The shooting took place at the Clevelander Hotel where police found the 50-year-old victim, Dion David Moore, a front desk employee, lying in a pool of blood, NBC 6 reported, citing an arrest report from the Miami Beach Police Department. According to the report, the suspected shooter, 29-year-old Brandon Kortez Burris, had been allegedly attempting to sneak into a nightclub at the hotel. After he tried a few times, Moore asked Burris to leave the premises....

California Congressman Jimmy Panetta led a group of seven Democrats that requested a waiver of informed consent, meaning permission from soldiers to be vaccinated, be issued in a letter sent to Biden on Wednesday. The group cited Pentagon figures that showed one-third of service members offered a vaccine had already refused to take it, while polls have also indicated a high level of resistance to being inoculated in the military....

The resolution will come despite the continued refusal by House Democrats and Speaker Nancy Pelosi to have the full chamber authorize the probe, which they argue is not necessary. Democrats note that the resolution is not an authorization, but rather a measure they believe will throw cold water on arguments by the White House and Republicans that the impeachment proceedings lack transparency, minority subpoena power and due process for the president....

Trump had objected to a provision in the act that called for the renaming of U.S. military installations that had named after Confederate Army leaders. The repeal of Section 230, which protects social media platforms from being considered the publishers of third-party content, was not included in the NDAA. On Tuesday, Trump reiterated his claims that he would veto the NDAA. “I hope House Republicans will vote against the very weak National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which I will VETO,” Trump tweeted....

Americans “want us to focus on lowering costs, giving them more choice and protecting people with preexisting conditions,” Minority Whip Steve Scalise said at a press conference Friday. As the Trump administration continues to hack away at parts of Obamacare via executive orders and pressures the federal courts to rule the health care program unconstitutional, Republicans have yet to come up with a suitable replacement plan for the act. They’ve got the “repeal” part down, though....

The paper published the board’s editorial the morning Trump was expected to make his 16th trip to the state as president. The White House said Trump would visit an oil rig in Midland and deliver a speech about “restoring energy dominance” in the area. “A consensus is growing that Texans are losing confidence that you are the person to lead the nation out of the canyon that you and your administration have helped dig,” the editorial said....

Texans coach Lovie Smith and linebackers Kamu Grugier-Hill and Christian Kirksey made the trek to Uvalde, Texas, to greet Uvalde High School’s varsity football team ahead of its home opener on Friday night. Houston’s delegation surprised the Coyotes with some new swag, revealing to the team that the Texans and Nike are outfitting the school with new jerseys for the 2022 season. Michael Strahan revealed the gesture on “Good Morning America” Friday....

Look, I love a juicy tale as much as the next hack. Any reporter who turns his nose up at a story like this has no business in the news business. Ever since the silent-screen comedian Fatty Arbuckle was tried for raping and killing a young woman at a debauched San Francisco party in 1921, celebrity brushes with the law have been big stories. The New York Times covered the Arbuckle case aggressively before succumbing to a 75-year-long high-minded snooze when it came to salacious but newsworthy material that its readers might actually find interesting....

Brady McCue is charged with assaulting a woman on the Leslie Road Trail Head in Medford, Massachusetts, on Friday morning. McCue allegedly struck the 48-year-old woman, who he did not know before the attack, multiple times with a rock, raped her, and left her for dead on the trail. Speaking with police later, the woman, whose name has not been released to the public, said that she remembered her attacker carrying a white coffee cup from Dunkin’....

It’s Judge’s longest homerless streak since Aug. 13 to Aug. 21 (nine games), and tied for his second-longest drought of the year. While that’s more a testament to the torrid home run-hitting pace Judge been on this season than an indictment of his recent play, it’s hard to not feel the tension as the end of the season draws nigh. The Yankees clinched the AL East with their win over the Blue Jays Tuesday, but that felt like a footnote in comparison to Judge’s night: A four-walk game, the second time in his career he’s drawn that many and the first time since Sep....

But it isn’t just the abortion industry that’s in uproar; countless prominent voices in our culture are leveraging this moment to push pro-abortion narratives. Since SB8 went into effect in September, several congresswomen and other public figures have come forward to tell their abortion stories. They spoke of feeling alone, of feeling scared, of feeling hurt; they said their abortions caused them intense shame, even grief. But somehow, they presented these stories of suffering and sadness as arguments for, not against, the act of abortion....

Why It Works Obama’s failure to close out Clinton despite his popular vote cushion is similar to Jackson’s predicament. If Clinton wins by way of superdelegates, Obama would likely echo Jackson’s charge of a “corrupt bargain” in which the establishment silenced the people. And, as Jackson did, he could use it as a platform to run in four years. Why It Doesn’t The superdelegates will decide who gets to challenge John McCain, not who will be president, as the House did in 1824....

Self-Checks Keeping a diary of your symptoms (what they are, when you experience them), activities, what you eat, and so on can reveal patterns and associations that can inform a diagnosis. Not only can you share this with your healthcare provider, but you can use it to inform changes you can make to avoid allergic reactions. You may be enticed to try home allergy test kits. Know, though, that though do-it-yourself tests for a variety of conditions are readily available today, that doesn’t mean they are all approved by U....

The United States flu season typically peaks around February. But as of mid-September, influenza has already crept into some states. Moderate case numbers are spreading through Texas, New Mexico, and North Mariana Islands, and a few cases have been reported in almost every other state, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The flu’s early appearance is causing some experts to worry about the virus’s 2022-2023 trajectory–and trends from countries like Australia are exacerbating concerns, too....

However, the three man midfield of N’Golo Kante, Tiemoue Bakayoko and Cesc Fabregas was never again used to the same effect. Kante got injured and Bakayoko was then left completely bereft of confidence after a string of bad performances. Fast forward to 2018 and Chelsea have only won only three Premier League games in the calendar year, as Fabregas is now being asked to play in an uncomfortable defensive midfield role....

Cincinnati (8-4) beat Kansas City (9-3) in rematch of last year’s AFC championship by the exact same score, and a similar scenario to what happened last season is developing ahead of the 2023 playoffs. MORE: Full updated playoff picture for Week 13 The Sporting News looks at what the Week 13 result means for the final five weeks: The Bengals are in control of the No. 1 seed The Chiefs used to possess that power before Sunday, but now, if the Bengals run the table and finish 13-4 — three games better than their Super Bowl 56 season — they would earn the lone bye and home-field advantage....

Ten thousand dollars of loan forgiveness will greatly help a struggling recent college graduate trying to get by on low-paying retail or restaurant jobs. It will not matter much to a Harvard Business School graduate with $250,000 in debt and every prospect of earning a six-figure salary at their first job. To clarify, the plan gives $10,000 of student loan forgiveness to people earning less than $125,000 a year. That probably excludes our Harvard Business School graduate....

Wilson struggled throwing the ball and reading the Patriots’ defense. That resulted in him throwing a whopping four interceptions. Four of his first eight passes were picked off, including his first two of the contest. The Jets scored just six points against the Patriots and lost 25-6 as a result of Wilson’s struggles. It also illustrates what we already knew: Belichick simply knows how to rattle rookie quarterbacks. Belichick improved his record against rookie passers to 22-6 via the Patriots’ victory over the Jets....

The pop star—who has recently seen success in her bid to end her court-appointed conservatorship—shared the news with fans on Instagram. “I can’t f***** believe it,” the 39-year old captioned a post showing off her engagement ring from her new fiancé. In the seconds-long clip, the 27-year-old model, actor, and personal trainer asks Spears if she liked the diamond ring. She excitedly responds: “Yes!” The couple has since received an outpouring of support and well-wishes, with Paris Hilton being one of the first to congratulate them....
