The California congresswoman was addressing statements that Nunes made on Fox’s The Ingraham Angle on Wednesday. Nunes described the impeachment committee using similar language used to describe cults. “So many millions of Americans’ minds are poisoned,” he said, adding: “There’s a cult going on in the basement in a SCIF behind locked doors.” He not only likened the impeachment committee to a religious sect, but also accused the press of being one too....

Sometimes a 1:1 aide is tremendously helpful; in other cases, however, the aide is actually a hindrance.

He’s smiling as he wades in Israel’s Sea of Galilee, where in the Bible, Jesus walked on water. Stepanovich looks light enough to do the same. Beneath his smile, a body barely surpassing 100 pounds stretches tightly over its bones — the end result of years spent running much and eating little. In the outline of his abs, the jutting endpoints of his ribs, the visible clavicles, you can almost see St....

However, while the longshot Democratic feat was bitter news for the Grand Old Party, Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock ousting GOP Senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler did offer a silver lining for at least one Republican: President Donald Trump.

Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) is set to reach perihelion—the point in the orbit of an astronomical object at which it is closest to the sun—on Thursday. It is now possible to observe it through telescopes in the constellation Corona Borealis, and the comet could soon be visible to the naked eye if current predictions turn out to be true. The comet was discovered last March by the Zwicky Transient Facility, an astronomical survey conducted by California’s Palomar Observatory, and will be located around 103 million miles from the sun by the time of its perihelion....

Among other things, blocking the beta receptors slows the heart rate, reduces the force of contraction of the heart muscle, reduces the amount of oxygen the heart muscle needs to do its work, reduces stress on the vascular system, and tends to lower the blood pressure....

The two political opponents both held town hall events on Thursday night.

Hamas always wants to increase its influence and views terror as the means to that end. So, what made Hamas believe it could get away with raining missiles down on Israeli civilians? Hamas would have you believe it was a court decision, a police action or anything that Israel has control over. And that would be a lie. The violent confrontations between Palestinians and Israelis in Jerusalem that immediately preceded Hamas rocket attacks were just a convenient foil—precisely how the terrorist playbook has read for more than two decades....
