"She is not planning to run for Senate in 2024. She is not planning to primary Gillibrand," Lauren Hitt, Ocasio-Cortez's spokesperson, told Politico . AOC's possible candidacy was one of the only roadblocks to Gillibrand sailing to reelection, The Hill reported. With the superstar New York Representative declining to challenge the Democratic senator, one of Gillibrand's strongest possible challengers is no longer a threat to her campaign. In 2021, Ocasio-Cor

Yevhenii Zavhorodnii/Global Images Ukraine via Getty Images Months before invading, Russia launched an unconventional warfare campaign against Ukraine. The goal was to destabilize Ukraine's government and undermine its response to the Russian attack. The Kremlin assumed its plan would work and and still launched the invasion when it didn't. When the Russian military launched the full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, almost everyone thought the smaller country was doomed. Russian President Vladimir Putin and his advisers expected a lighting campaign lasting between three days and two weeks. Even US intelligence assessments foresaw a quick Russian victory. Fourteen months later, and after heavy casualties, Ukraine still stands, having imposed grievous losses on Russia and forcing it to retreat from much of the territory it seized early in the war. The world has focused on the

Scott Olson/Getty Images/Joseph Prezioso/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images Disney lawyers argue Governor DeSantis is retaliating against the company for protected speech. A legal expert told Insider precedent was set in the Citizens United v. FEC Supreme Court case. Democrats have criticized the ruling since 2010 but may now benefit from its power against the GOP governor. When the Supreme Court in 2010 handed down its ruling on Citizens United v. FEC , Democrats were scandalized. Then-President Barack Obama warned it would "open the floodgates" to corporations influencing politics by diminishing restrictions on corporate speech. But now, as Disney v. DeSantis has become an actual legal battle — with the Walt Disney Corporation suing the Florida governor for retali

A big-headed turtle TOLGA AKMEN/AFP Scientists in Hong Kong are trying to save three species of turtles, CNN reports.  The turtles are being hunted for medicinal purposes and to keep as pets. Scientists wanted to keep their numbers under wraps but they're now speaking out to spread awareness. Although bustling metropolitan centers aren't always associated with wildlife conservation — and are sometimes seen as a barrier to it — a team of researchers in Hong Kong say the city is the last hope for certain species of exotic turtles in the region, CNN reports. Small turtles, including the Beale's eyed turtle, the Big-headed turtle, and the Golden coin turtle, are often illegally poached by hunters looking to sell the animals for medicinal purposes or to sell as rare pets. Each species is native to southern China and Southeast Asia and lives near freshwater habitats. The Big-headed turtle, a dark-green, nocturnal amphibian with a head so wide it cannot fit in its shel

You made it! It's Sunday, and you're just about ready to unwind with a game of Wordle . We're here as always to help guide the way with our expert Wordle advice and the solution. If you prefer to just be told the answer, you can scroll to the end of this article for April 30's Wordle word to be revealed. But if you'd rather work through it yourself, keep reading for some clues, tips, and strategies to assist you. Where did Wordle come from? Originally created by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner, Wordle rapidly spread to become an international phenomenon, with thousands of people around the globe playing every day. Alternate Wordle versions created by fans have even sprung up, including battle royale Squabble , music identification game Heardle , and variations like Dordle and Quordle that make you guess multiple words at once .  Wordle eventually became so popular that it was purchased by the New York Times , and TikTok creators even l

Twitter might provide publishers with a new way to earn from their content outside of the typical recurring subscription option. According to company chief Elon Musk, Twitter will allow media publishers to charge users for access to individual articles they post on the website as as soon as next month. Users will end up paying a higher per-article price than what the cost of access to every article would amount to if they had a subscription instead. But Musk said it's for those who want to read the occasional story from a specific outlet, so each article probably wouldn't cost as much as a monthly subscription.  Rolling out next month, this platform will allow media publishers to charge users on a per article basis with one click. This enables users who would not sign up for a monthly subscription to pay a higher per article price for when they want to read an occasional article.… — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 29, 2023 At this point in time, though, details about the u

After more than three years of litigation, Apple has quietly dropped its lawsuit against Gerard Williams III, the former chip executive the company accused of poaching employees. Williams spent nearly a decade working for Apple, leading development on some of its most important chips – including the A7 , the first 64-bit processor for mobile devices. In 2019, Williams left Apple to co-found Nuvia, a chip design firm later acquired by Qualcomm in 2021 . When the tech giant first sued Williams, it accused him of “secretly” starting Nuvia and recruiting talent for his startup while he was still an Apple employee. Williams disputed Apple’s claims and accused the company of spying on his text messages . As reported by Bloomberg , Apple filed a request to dismiss the suit against Williams earlier this week. The document does not state the company’s reason for dropping the case. However, it does say Apple did so “with prejudice,” meaning it cannot file the same claim against Williams aga

If Quordle is a little too challenging today, you've come to the right place for hints. There aren't just hints here, but the whole Quordle solution. Scroll to the bottom of this page, and there it is. But are you sure you need all four answers? Maybe you just need a strategy guide. Either way, scroll down, and you'll get what you need. What is Quordle ? Quordle is a five-letter word guessing game similar to Wordle , except each guess applies letters to four words at the same time. You get nine guesses instead of six to correctly guess all four words. It looks like playing four Wordle games at the same time, and that is essentially what it is. But it's not nearly as intimidating as it sounds. Is Quordle harder than Wordle? Yes, though not diabolically so. Where did Quordle come from? Amid the Wordle boom of late 2021 and early 2022, when everyone was learning to love free, in-browser, once-a-day word guessing games, creator Freddie Meyer says he took inspi

In Nebraska, where abortion is banned after 20 weeks of pregnancy, an effort to ban abortion at about the sixth week of pregnancy fell one vote short of breaking a filibuster. Cheers erupted outside the legislative chamber as the last vote was cast, wit

States have taxed motorists at the pump for more than a century . Yet, as electric cars gain ground, what happens when folks stop refueling altogether? State lawmakers are increasingly imposing annual fees on EV owners, arguing they should pay up because they still rely on public infrastructure to get around. Texas is on track to become the latest state to levy such a tax, following more than a dozen others , including Georgia, Michigan and Ohio. The Texas Senate passed SB 505 at the end of March. This week, the state’s House has cleared a similar bill, sending it on to Gov. Greg Abbott’s desk. The latest version of the bill lays out a $200 yearly registration fee for electric vehicles, with exceptions carved out for slow “ Neighborhood Electric Vehicles ,” as well as autocycles, mopeds and motorcycles. The bill states that the resulting fees “must be deposited to the credit of the state highway fund.” Though Texas is certainly not alone in moving forward with such a bill, its $200
