Thousands of hotel workers across the United States began a strike on Sunday, demanding better wages and working conditions. This industrial action, which could escalate according to union warnings, is expected to disrupt travel plans for many people over the Labor Day weekend. More than 10,000 employees walked out from hotels in cities including Boston, Seattle, Honolulu, Kauai, Greenwich, Connecticut, as well as San Francisco, San Diego, and San Jose in California, following a breakdown in contract negotiations with hotel owners. The Unite Here union, which represents hospitality workers in hotels, casinos, and airports throughout the US and Canada, stated…

Kamala Harris gave her first interview as the Democratic presidential nominee to CNN’s Dana Bash, alongside her running mate, Tim Walz, on Thursday. During the interview, which was taped in Savannah, Georgia, Harris defended her changes in stance on various policy issues and expressed her support for Joe Biden.

She also shared for the first time how she…

Donald Trump has accused Joe Biden and Kamala Harris of being responsible for last month’s attempted assassination against him, claiming they made it harder for the Secret Service to ensure his safety. The Republican presidential candidate made these accusations, without providing any evidence, on the television show “Dr. Phil,” hosted by Phil McGraw, on Tuesday. His remarks come after reports that several Secret Service agents from the Pittsburgh office were put on administrative leave following the shooting on July 13. At a campaign event in Butler, Pennsylvania, last month, Trump was grazed by a bullet on his ear after a…

Special Counsel Jack Smith filed an updated indictment on Tuesday against Donald Trump to bolster the historic election obstruction case. This move follows a Supreme Court decision that granted broad immunity to presidents for their official acts and sharply criticized Smith’s approach. The revised indictment comes as a crucial deadline approaches. In about 10 days, the Justice Department’s “60-day rule” will take effect, preventing any new charges against the former president, who is once again the Republican nominee for the White House. In a notice to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Smith stated that the new…

Martin Shkreli, infamously known as “Pharma Bro,” has been ordered by a federal judge to surrender all copies of the ultra-rare, unreleased 2015 Wu-Tang Clan album Once Upon a Time in Shaolin. He is also prohibited from streaming any further content from the album. The Wu-Tang Clan spent six years crafting Once Upon a Time in Shaolin and auctioned off a single copy of the 31-track double album in 2015, stipulating that it would not be released publicly. The group, which has achieved multi-platinum success, wanted the album to be viewed as a piece of contemporary art. Shkreli, a former…

Max Kennedy urges the public to dismiss his brother Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s decision to exit the 2024 presidential race and endorse Donald Trump for re-election. In an op-ed for the Los Angeles Times, Max Kennedy described Trump as the type of “arrogant, entitled bully” that his father, Robert F. Kennedy, stood against before his assassination in 1968 while campaigning for the Democratic presidential nomination. He predicted that his father would have supported Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, because of her background as a prosecutor, likening her career to his father’s dedication to justice and equality. Max Kennedy…

Democratic Nominee Vows to Prosecute Trump in Passionate Convention Speech Kamala Harris accepted the Democratic presidential nomination on Thursday with a powerful speech, promising to prosecute the case against Donald Trump and lead the country towards a brighter and fairer future. In a speech balancing optimism with sharp criticism of her opponent, Harris acknowledged her “unlikely” path to the nomination and extended an invitation to voters of all political ideologies who believe in America’s promise. If elected, Harris would make history as the first woman, the first Black woman, and the first Asian American woman to serve as president. Instead,…

The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), once regarded as the defenders of Sudan’s sovereignty, have now become the very force inflicting terror upon their own people. The indiscriminate bombing of civilian markets and public spaces by SAF fighter jets has laid bare the military’s true nature—one marred by destruction, betrayal, and collusion with foreign powers. These airstrikes are not mere accidents of war; they are calculated atrocities that expose the SAF’s alignment with regimes like Iran, Russia, and China. This unholy alliance has devastated countless Sudanese lives and unmasked the SAF’s insincere participation in peace talks and ceasefire negotiations. The skies…

Donald Trump, appearing behind bulletproof glass, took the stage in Asheboro, North Carolina, marking his first outdoor event since being injured in a shooting at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, last month. Following the shooting, which resulted in Trump sustaining a bloodied ear, two rallygoers injured, and one man killed, the Secret Service temporarily recommended that the former president hold only indoor rallies. Last week, the Secret Service announced it would use bulletproof glass to protect him at outdoor events. The North Carolina rally was part of the campaign’s counter-programming to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, featuring various Democratic…

Speaking at the Democratic National Convention in his hometown of Chicago, Obama closed the second night with a rousing speech that drew loud cheers as he delivered a sharp rebuke to Trump, who succeeded him in the White House…
