Herbert had fallen out of Chicago’s RB rotation, playing behind free agent signing D’Andre Swift and 2023 draftee Roschon Johnson. Although the Bears do not profile as a true seller due to their 4-4…

Many critics have accused him of weaponising the platform for his political goals and using it to promote right-wing politicians he favours. Amid this scrutiny, Musk’s clash with the Brazilian authorities has come to the fore.

Election Day is here. The final votes in the 2024 presidential election will be cast over the next several hours. It is not a federal holiday, however. Only five states, including New York, recognize Election Day as a public state holiday and mandate employers allow employees paid time off to vote. Another nine states, including New Jersey, recognize Election Day as a state holiday but don’t enforce that mandate. Connecticut does not consider it a state holiday. Employers, of course, may make their own accommodations. All this means that while people are heading to the polls to cast their ballots, others…

The documents in question are alleged to be Hamas military strategy documents, found by Israeli military intelligence in Gaza and subsequently manipulated by suspects within, or close to, the prime minister’s office and defence establishment.

Election Day in the United States is now often considered Election Week, as each state follows its own rules and practices for counting ballots — not to mention the legal challenges — that can delay the results.
