The billionaire Binance founder pardoned by Donald Trump has been accused of facilitating millions of dollars' worth of payments to Hamas in the wake of its attack on Israel on October 7 2023. In a complaint filed in US federal court on Monday by American citizens whose family members were murdered, maimed or taken hostage in the assault, Changpeng Zhao and the cryptocurrency exchange he founded are alleged to have knowingly provided "substantial assistance" to militant groups including Hamas and Hizbollah, helping them conceal the movement of funds.

President Donald Trump unleashed a blistering attack on Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) Monday, calling him a "sick Wacko" on Truth Social after Paul criticized Trump's comments about "executing" Democratic lawmakers he labeled "traitors." Paul had appeared on CBS's Face the Nation Sunday, warning that Trump's rhetoric was "reckless, inappropriate, irresponsible" after the president targeted Democrats who released a video urging soldiers to disobey "illegal orders." "You know, everybody knows that the President is famous for his unfiltered social media," Paul told Margaret Brennan. "But if you take it face value, the idea that calling your opponents traitors " and then specifically saying that it warrants the death penalty " is reckless, inappropriate, irresponsible. There are a number of other ways to describe it. But it's not something that is helping the country heal wounds. I think it stirs things up."
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S lying-to-Congress case against former FBI director James Comey is a comedy of legal errors that could move offstage soon. (UPDATE, November 24, 2025, 3:00 p.m.: The case was dismissed, several hours after this article was published.) But it has highlighted the plain fact that American life and America itself are now being shaped"in terrible, even tragic ways"by people who really did mislead and outright lie to Congress under oath. Let's start at the top. Not just once but twice, Donald Trump put his hand on a Bible and swore to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." He's been violating that oath, and lying nonstop in all conceivable venues, ever since. Read more
A Republican lawmaker in the House of Representatives was so distraught by the latest proposed peace deal for Russia's war in Ukraine that he considered resigning from Congress, according to a new report. Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) told Axios that he was "appalled" by the 28-point peace deal, which some experts have said seems to have been written by the Russians. The proposed peace plan also made several pro-Ukrainian lawmakers on The Hill furious, including several Republicans, according to the report. The plan calls for Ukraine to significantly reduce the size of its military, cede land to Russia, including land that Russia does not currently control, give up its long-range missiles that can reach Moscow, and stop attempting to join NATO.

President Donald Trump appears poised to announce a two-year extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies, due to expire at the end of December, while setting new limits on who is eligible to receive the tax credits, according to reports. Without an extension of Covid-19-era Obamacare subsidies, insurance premiums for nearly 22 million American citizens threaten to more than double early next year, a point made repeatedly by Democrats during the recent 43-day government shutdown, who refused to sign a stopgap spending bill that did not address the problem.

(CNN) -- A series of about 5,200 holes stretching nearly a mile (1.5 kilometers) across the Pisco Valley in the southern Peruvian Andes has baffled researchers for nearly a century. But a fresh look at the site, called Monte Sierpe, or "serpent mountain," may help archaeologists to decipher why ancient people constructed it hundreds of years ago. The "band of holes," as it's informally called, first garnered attention when National Geographic published aerial photos of the site in 1933. But there are no written records relating to the formation, leaving its purpose open to interpretation " and there have been many. Hypotheses about the holes' use have included defense, accounting, storage, gardening, water collection, and fog capturing purposes.
