Millions of people were plunged into darkness on Monday as the total eclipse made its way across the United States and eastern Canada, after starting in Mexico. The highly-anticipated eclipse saw the Earth, the sun and the moon perfectly aligned, resulting in ‘totality’ – the moment when the face of the sun is completely blocked by the moon. The Mexican ...
A total solar eclipse plunged the skies along a swathe of North America into darkness. The moon completely blocked out the sun for more than four minutes in some places along a path starting in Mexico and crossing through the United States and into Canada.

The government should ban 25 pesticides which contain so-called “forever chemicals”, campaigners have said, as the potentially harmful toxins were found in more than half of the tested food and drinks available to Britons.

Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Monday after Graham expressed public disagreement with Trump’s latest statement on his abortion position. “I blame myself for Lindsey Graham, because the only reason he won in the Great State of South Carolina is because I Endorsed him!” Trump said in one of several posts shared on Truth ...
Special counsel Jack Smith on Monday urged the Supreme Court to reject Donald Trump’s “novel and sweeping” claim that he is immune from criminal prosecution on charges of conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. “The President’s constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed does not entail a general right to violate them,” ...
