The U.S. women’s national team won’t play a World Cup match until 2027, but it is still set to receive a major payday from this year’s big tournament. The U.S. men’s national team earned $16 million from FIFA for reaching the round of 16 before being eliminated by Belgium in a 4-1 loss in Seattle. Under U.S. Soccer’s landmark equal pay collective bargaining agreements, that money will be shared with the women’s national team. U.S. Soccer keeps 20 percent of the prize money. The remaining 80 percent is split evenly between the men’s and women’s player pools, meaning each team...

His arson plan was a bunch of junk. A firebug in Indiana cut off his own penis, dumped gasoline on it — then used it to light a blaze inside a neighbor’s garage, according to police. Christopher Peden, 36, of Fort Wayne, allegedly copped to giving himself the shaft after first claiming he was stabbed, according to court documents. Peden told cops he “harmed himself” inside the garage in Fort Wayne by “cutting off his penis” with a kitchen knife on May 6, FOX 59 reported.

Former Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan was ordered Wednesday to pay a $5,000 fine for obstructing the arrest of an illegal immigrant at a courthouse but will not serve any prison time. "I think this is a situation where an otherwise good person, upset by immigration policies in this country, made a bad decision in the moment," said U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman. Dugan, 66, was convicted of felony obstruction last year after federal agents attempted to serve a warrant to Eduardo Flores-Ruiz on April 18, 2025. She was acquitted of concealing an individual to prevent arrest, a misdemeanor. She faced...

Blue Origin CEO: New Glenn WILL Fly Again This Year! (Plus, I had a baby) | 16:28 Ellie in Space | 17,090 views | June 30, 2026

President Donald Trump flew home from a NATO summit in Turkey on an old baby blue Air Force One plane instead of the new Qatari-gifted and retrofitted red, white and navy blue jet he arrived in, a surprise swap that came as the U.S. and Iran once again began trading strikes. Trump offered little clarity on the swap, instead saying he would fly on the legacy aircraft “for old time’s sake,” and indicating that both aircraft would make a previously unscheduled stop on the way back to the U.S. at Royal Air Force Mildenhall, a base used by U.S. troops....

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent delivered a remarkably important speech on June 23 at the Economic Club of New York. Yet neither Wall Street nor most of the economic profession seems to have paid it enough attention. By laying out what until now seemed more like haphazard policy measures, Mr. Bessent put down a marker for how the United States plans to operate in a changing global economic system. In the process, he elevated both the scale and the scope of a systemic change that started in earnest during President Trump’s first term, was sustained by President Joe Biden and is...

In a blow to California Gov. Gavin Newsom, another potential 2028 Democratic Party candidate for president is shockingly way ahead of him in a new poll. The new survey from the Daily Mail/JL Partners shows that 29% of registered Democratic voters want to see former Vice President Kamala Harris be the 2028 party candidate for president. The pick may be considered stunning as Harris, who like Newsom hails from the Golden State, was the Democrats' 2024 candidate for president and lost the election to Republican Donald Trump. The survey showed Newsom, who has said he is considering a White House...

I am on the email list of my Democrat Congressman Vindman. I got an email today which begins: It now takes 100 days to get a primary care appointment at the Fredericksburg Veteran Affairs (VA) Health Care Center. That is unacceptable. I regularly hear from veterans across my district who are struggling to get the care they need because of staffing shortages and unacceptable delays at this care center. Our veterans served our nation with honor. They deserve a VA health care system that is fully staffed, responsive, transparent, and accountable — and they should never have to wait 100...

The White House announced the first "Freedom Fuel" gas station, which it says is selling gasoline at a below-market rate of $3.47 a gallon. In a post on social media platform X on Tuesday, the White House announced that the first Freedom Fuel location "has LANDED in Philadelphia." The White House noted that the $3.47 price tag is a nod to President Trump, who in his second term serves as the nation's 47th president. "President Trump is leading the charge to lower gas prices this summer — putting more money in your pocket," the White House added in the post.

SAN MATEO, Calif. (KGO) -- Two 15-year-old boys were detained after San Mateo police said they were drinking and firing gel-based pellets from a driverless Waymo vehicle, prompting the company to alert authorities and stop the ride. According to investigators, officers found alcohol and a toy gun that appeared to have been painted over inside the vehicle. Police said the teens were firing gel-based pellets known as Orbeez, which are similar to paintballs. "Around 2:10 we got a call from a Waymo rep saying there were two people in their vehicle, and they saw them shooting out of the vehicle,"...

Some of the UK’s top judges are hearing arguments over whether a Trinidad and Tobago court had the legal right to overturn a 2018 ruling to remove colonial-era homophobic laws that criminalise anal sex between consenting men. The country’s “buggery law”, often referred to as its “sodomy” law, was created in 1925 and was written into Trinidad and Tobago’s 1986 Sexual Offences Act. In 2017 a Trinidadian LGBTQ+ rights activist, Jason Jones, challenged the law, and in 2018 a high court ruled that it infringed upon his constitutional right to privacy and equality. Last year a court of appeal quashed...

During the call, Powered by People Executive Director Aimee Prudhomme revealed Democrats’ strategy to target voters ahead of the November election. “Like Beto mentioned before, we go...

Teen killer Karmelo Anthony is seeking a new trial and wants a different judge to oversee any future legal proceedings in his conviction for the murder of Austin Metcalf, his defense team has revealed. Just last month, a jury in Collin County, in the suburbs of Dallas, took less than three hours to convict the 19-year-old of murder over the fatal stabbing of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a high school track meet in April 2025. The same jury sentenced Anthony to 35 years in prison, rejecting his claim that Anthony acted in self-defense.

These people should apply to the circus. VIDEOS AT LINK.................... My favorite part is the officer numbering them off like Count von Count from Sesame Street. 😂 This video was apparently taken in the last week. Fourteen men, six women, and four kids were inside the car. The Dominican Republic, which shares its island with Haiti, has a massive border wall with strict security. It has also ramped up deportations of Haitians that do live within its borders. What a bunch of extremists!

In the fevered corners of the internet where men — primarily white — gather to "optimise" every little detail of their bodies, there is a belief that even the brain can be beaten into shape to make men seem more attractive. Here, cortisol affects "facial fat redistribution", dopamine affects "eye contact quality", serotonin affects "resting expression", and acetylcholine affects “intelligence in social contexts".

As Microsoft continues hacking away at Xbox’s game studios as part of thousands of layoffs, the teams that are still under the company’s umbrella are finding out what’s next. Obsidian, the developer behind Avowed and The Outer Worlds, is, according to a new report from Bloomberg, canceling a planned Avowed sequel and pivoting to a new Fallout game. It’s something fans have long asked for, but it’s also a surprise shift that wasn’t originally part of the plan. According to Bloomberg’s sources, studio design director Josh Sawyer will reportedly be leading the team on a new Fallout game, which will...

Explanation: Sometimes we can all use a little help from a friend. NASA's Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory needs a boost to stay in orbit after almost 22 years of service. This video shows an artist's visualization of the Swift Boost Mission: The Katalyst's LINK spacecraft was launched aboard a Northrop Grumman Pegasus XL rocket on July 3 and it is now en route to rendezvous with Swift and boost it to a higher orbit over the course of the next several months. This type of maneuver has never been attempted before. If successful, it will be the technology demonstration of...
