1+ hour, 10+ min ago (534+ words) CHARLOTTE, N.C. " When a kickoff return to midfield and an unnecessary roughness penalty put the Rams at the Carolina Panthers 35 to open Sunday's game, and when the Rams converted that short field into yet another Davante Adams touchdown, it looked like the Rams were on their way to another easy victory. Then, two dropbacks later, Stafford was intercepted again, this one returned by Mike Jackson. All of a sudden, the Rams found themselves trailing for the first time since Week 6, and in what would prove to be a 10-round heavyweight bout. Two ties, five lead changes and, in the end, too many mistakes for the Rams (9-3) to overcome as their six-game winning streak came to an end in a 31-28 loss. Even after the two interceptions, even after allowing the Panthers (7-6) to run 4.5 yards per carry and convert 10 of 17 attempts on third…...

Lakanwal, 29, has been charged with first-degree murder. In Afghanistan, Lakanwal worked in a special Afghan Army unit known as a Zero Unit. The units were backed by the CIA.

1+ hour, 32+ min ago (869+ words) When they engage with the news " if they do " they hear a cacophony of voices. They don't know who to believe. Reporters are biased. They make mistakes. Besides, why would you hitch your future to a dying industry? "There is a lot of commentary " "Oh, good for you. Look what you're walking into. You're going to be screaming into the void. You're going to be useless," said Murphy, a 21-year-old graduate student at the University of Maryland's journalism school. She is undeterred. And it's also why she's not surprised by the findings of a study this fall that documented negative attitudes toward the news media among 13- to 18-year-old Americans. The press rarely fares well in surveys of adults, but it's sobering to see the same disdain among people whose opinions about the world are still forming. Asked by the News…...

1+ hour, 33+ min ago (635+ words) Leo made the comments as he flew from Istanbul to Beirut for the second and final leg of his maiden voyage as pope. Though Leo has been fielding journalists" questions at informal gatherings at his country house, the brief encounter marked his first news conference as pope and followed the tradition of his predecessors of using his foreign trips to engage with the media. Because of the short flight, the news conference was limited to two questions from Turkish journalists. When Leo returns to Rome on Tuesday, the encounter will presumably be longer. The American pope was asked about his private talks with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan upon his arrival in Ankara and whether they discussed the wars in Gaza and Ukraine. Leo confirmed they had, and said that Turkey had an "important role to play" in both conflicts,…...

1+ hour, 34+ min ago (461+ words) The lawmakers said they did not know whether last week's Washington Post report was true, and some Republicans were skeptical, but they said attacking survivors of an initial missile strike poses serious legal concerns. "This rises to the level of a war crime if it's true," said Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va. Rep. Mike Turner, R-Ohio, when asked about a follow-up strike aimed at people no long able to fight, said Congress does not have information that happened. He noted that leaders of the Armed Services Committee in both the House and Senate have opened investigations. "Obviously, if that occurred, that would be very serious and I agree that that would be an illegal act," Turner said. Turner said there are concerns in Congress about the attacks on vessels that the Trump administration says are transporting drugs, but the allegations regarding…...

2+ hour, 1+ min ago (747+ words) A year ago, to the day, I wrote a column (Americans really need to relax and stop taking national politics so seriously) in which I argued that modern Americans are far too concerned with politics and too emotionally invested in what politicians say and do. It was around Thanksgiving and I had heard about families tearing themselves apart over political disagreements and felt that it happened precisely because of unreasonable levels of anxiety with respect to what is going on in D.C. specifically." My argument in that column was that when some politician is elected, whether it be for president or Congress, the decisions that they make during their terms don't really affect us all that much. Our lives continue without catastrophe for the most part. In one sense, that claim is plainly false. When they choose to fund or defund…...
