Night shift work is not for the weak. Staying awake from dusk through to dawn, as many nurses, doctors, and emergency responders do, seems to take a toll on the body and mind.
But does it have an impact on the brain?
Jewish groups condemned Israeli cabinet ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Amichay Eliyahu for marching in the NYC Israel Day parade. In 2021, Smotrich said that Israel's first prime minister, David Ben-Gurion, should have "finished the job" and kicked all Arabs out of the country in 1948. Eliyahu had suggested that Israel drop a nuclear bomb on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

President Trump lashed out at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over Israel's escalation in Lebanon in an expletive-laden call on Monday, two U.S. officials and a third source briefed on the call told Axios. Why it matters: Earlier on Monday, Iran threatened to abandon the negotiations with the U.S. over Israel's actions in Lebanon. On the call, Trump called Netanyahu "crazy" and accused him of ingratitude, according to two of the sources. Summarizing Trump's remarks to Netanyahu, the U.S. official said: "You're fucking crazy. You'd be in prison if it weren't for me. I'm saving your ass. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this." A second source briefed on the call said Trump was "pissed" and at one point yelled at Netanyahu: "What the fuck are you doing?"

Corruption is a term used to describe dishonest or fraudulent behavior by someone in power. When applied on a national scale, "corruption" refers to government leaders who abuse their power, take bribes, or commit fraud or other disreputable acts to increase their own wealth and/or power instead of helping the people they are meant to serve.
Corruption is an unfortunate reality in many nations around the world, especially low-income countries, developing countries, and least developed countries, which have fewer checks and balances on their rulers' powers.
While no single data indicator directly measures corruption in a nation, many indicators offer indirect-but-accurate evidence of the presence or absence of corruption.
The sounds "snap, crackle, pop" may be most associated with breakfast cereal, but on a mid-September afternoon in west-central Missouri, it was weeds in a soybean field that were getting crispy. The marestail snapped, the cockleburs crackled and the pigweeds popped as Ben Kroeger delivered 15,000 volts of weed-killing current to those that dared to rise above the crop canopy.

I want to tell you something about Donald Trump, and I don't believe I've ever said this before. Donald Trump has extreme intelligence - and I don't mean just high intelligence like someone in Mensa might have.
I mean EXTREME intelligence. And the reason we know this is because Donald Trump TOLD US that in a post just after midnight last night.
Beirut, Lebanon's capital, was bracing for an Israeli bombardment on Monday after Israel announced it would strike the city's southern suburbs. The warning stoked fears that the shaky cease-fire between Israel and Hezbollah was on the brink of collapse.
Led by President Trump, the Republican Party has disgracefully embraced white Christian nationalists and is working to turn back the clock on progress America has made in the struggle against racism and other bigotry. Some 83 percent of Black voters are Democrats or lean Democratic, according to the Pew Research Center. Because of this, Trump has demanded Republican officials make it harder for African Americans to vote and elect candidates of their choosing. Trump has repeatedly insulted Black people who criticize him by calling them "low-IQ" and with other slurs about their intelligence, such as referring to then-Vice President Kamala Harris as "dumb," "mentally unfit," "slow" and "stupid" when she ran against him in 2024. Trump even outrageously posted an AI-generated racist video on the social media site he owns that portrayed Barack and Michelle Obama " America's only Black president and first lady " as apes.
Iranian strikes have caused greater damage to U.S. military assets in the Middle East than the Trump administration is willing to admit. Analysis by the BBC, published Monday, reveals that attacks by the Islamic Republic have cost millions of dollars in damage to at least 20, and possibly as many as 28, American military sites across eight countries in the region since Donald Trump launched his war on Iran at the end of February. Trump has repeatedly claimed that U.S. forces have "destroyed," "obliterated," and "shattered" the regime's military capabilities. The Pentagon has meanwhile tried to limit assessments of the impact on U.S. assets by pressuring Planet, a major satellite-imaging provider, to restrict public access to new images of the region.
