He's hosted Tim Walz and Charli xcx on his viral webseries, but not so long ago the downtown renaissance man was just a guy with a planIn 2019, Kareem Rahma sat down and decided to become famous. He made a plan that mapped out exactly how he was going to do it. There was just one problem: he was already 33.I roll my eyes - That's a long time in New York years!" Rahma protests. He wanted to become a comedian, an actor, a big name among the cool kids, he wanted to be an It boy. To try that in your mid-30s in a city obsessed with youth? It would have been easier if he'd decided to become a gymnast. Continue reading...
Stephen Doughty, the Foreign Office minister, said the UK would allay' any US concerns over a deal agreed this year for the Chagos Islands to be returned to Mauritius. Doughty responded to a question from Nigel Farage, when he explained that an agreement with Mauritius was 'inevitable' after the UN's top court ruled that the UK did not have sovereignty over the Indian Ocean archipelago.Doughty told MPs: 'We're looking very forward to working with [the incoming Trump administration], and I'm sure that they will be being briefed on the full detail of this deal. And I am confident that the details of this arrangement will allay any concerns'
As we enter the era of Trump 2.0, reaction-fatigue to his bizarre decisions is already setting in - and it's only been eight daysSo here we are, back to the era of waking up to headlines that trigger audible ughs" and a desire to act out being violently sick. On Wednesday morning, this was the news that Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy had been appointed by the president-elect, Donald Trump, to run something called the Department of Government Efficiency, a newly created body tasked with cutting back federal bureaucracy and given the larky acronym Doge. (Musk has been a longtime promoter of the cryptocurrency Dogecoin, so there's a great conflict-of-interest gag straight out the gate.)On X, Musk duly posted an image of himself in gangster pose, with digitally volumised hair alongside the lettering D.O.G.E, the message of which was clear: cutting $2tn from the federal budget, a figure touted by Musk before the election, was going to be not only satisfying, but fun!Emma Brockes is a Guardian columnist Continue reading...
Trump is surrounding himself with hawks so you can be assured that his will be a very hawkish administrationIf Kamala wins, only death and destruction await because she is the candidate of endless wars," declaimed Donald Trump at a rally in Michigan, on the Friday before the election. I am the candidate of peace." In a typically ridiculous rhetorical flourish, Trump added: I am peace."Nevertheless, despite the ridiculousness, the president-elect in recent weeks succeeded in connecting with plenty of of anti-war voters tired of the United States' forever wars". He went to Dearborn, the capital" of Arab America, attacked Kamala Harris for campaigning with the pro-war Cheneys, and came away with an endorsement from a local imam who called him the peace" candidate.

Suit claims Legacy Good Samaritan hospital ignored signs that could have prevented Bobby Smallwood's deathThe family of an Oregon hospital security guard who was shot to death while protecting a maternity ward from an attacker during the summer of 2023 is suing the medical facility for $35m in damages, saying it ignored warning signs that could have prevented the killing if addressed.In the days before the killing of 44-year-old Bobby Smallwood made international news headlines, staffers at Portland's Legacy Good Samaritan hospital made five separate complaints to administrators against the man later charged with his murder, PoniaX Calles, according to the lawsuit from the victim's family, which was filed on Tuesday.

Young pro-Trump men have rolled out a creepy, snide and all-too-revealing mantraYou can't say it was a fluke. If in 2016, Donald Trump's novelty, combined with his loss of the popular vote, allowed liberals to retain a bit of plausible deniability about what his presidential win meant about America, this time, there is no such comfort. Donald Trump is no longer a mystery or an amusing diversion: no one can claim that they do not understand full extent of his malignant corruption, or the seriousness of his movement's hostility to pluralist democracy. And he won the popular vote.Many postmortems of last week's election have tried to preserve the notion that Trump's voter's did not endorse him and his vision - that they know not what they do. This is dishonest, and a bit patronizing toward Trump's supporters. Trump's voters, for the most part, know exactly what he is, and what voting for him means. They are not ignorant or mistaken about him. They endorse him and what he is.Moira Donegan is a Guardian US columnist Continue reading...
As Jamie Oliver has found out to his cost, write what you know or you could end up with a flop and an international PR disasterEver wondered what frivolous whims you'd indulge if you were made queen for the day? Liz Hurley has. The actor recently told the Guardian she'd ban car air fresheners. She should have stopped there (it's a winning policy platform) but she added that she'd also ban prison sentences for white-collar criminals and make them do things like teach inner-city kids to ride horses instead.If I were queen for the day I'd focus less on white-collar criminals and more on literary ones: implementing an immediate ban on celebrities writing children's books. Should a famous person so much as think of penning a kids' book, it'd be straight to jail: locked in a cell full of the strongest-smelling air fresheners available. Continue reading...
Netherlands-based firm offloads unit to fast casual restaurant chain Wonder for $650m four years after buying it for $7.3bnThe food delivery company Just Eat Takeaway is selling Grubhub to the delivery-focused restaurant chain Wonder for $650m (510m), only four years after buying the US app in a multibillion-dollar tie-up after the first Covid lockdowns.The Netherlands-based Just Eat, which is Europe's largest meal delivery company, had been looking to offload its US unit since as early as 2022, as the pandemic-fuelled boost to online food shopping faded and it grappled with tough competition.

The ultrarunner completed the equivalent of more than two marathons a day, and she says that her support team was crucial to her missionFor most hikers, attempting to walk the length of the Appalachian Trail is an exercise in failure. Of the roughly 3,000 individuals each year who try the thru-hike" - walking the trail's entire length in one trip - 75% will not complete the journey. This dropout rate is understandable. The trail's epic scale gives low-probability risks ample room to transform into unsolvable problems.The trail, which spans much of the eastern United States, stretches 2,190-miles (3,524 km) across the Appalachian Mountains and through 14 US states, much of it in wilderness. Among those who successfully thru-hike the route from Maine to Georgia (or vice versa), most will need five to seven months to complete the trip. But American ultrarunner Tara Dower is no ordinary hiker. In September, she set a new speed record on the Appalachian Trail, finishing her thru-hike in just under 41 days, beating the previous record by 13 hours. Covering such a distance in that span required Dower to run the equivalent of more than two marathons each day - over mountains. Speaking with the Guardian a few weeks after finishing her record-setting run, Dower could still feel every step. Continue reading...
Former Baddest Man on the Planet is all smiles in open workout as he gears up for inglorious fight with YouTuberThe madness rolled through an anonymous breakfast bar in Arlington, just outside Dallas, soon after six o'clock on Tuesday morning. Sleepy diners gazed at a bank of television screens which had lit up with images of two contrasting men on the early morning NBC news. In front of them a suave anchorman promised that Friday night's manufactured scrap in north Texas between the 58-year-old boxing icon Iron Mike Tyson and the Problem Child, Jake Paul," will transport us back to the glory days of boxing."As if we needed any more convincing the screen then filled with the scraggly bearded face of Paul, the 27-year-old YouTube sensation", who praised the owners of the Dallas Cowboys for sharing his vision of staging the biggest fight in the history of boxing" at their AT&T Stadium just 10 miles down the road from where we sat drinking our lukewarm coffee.

After Donald Trump's second win the European Union should capitalise on the likely transatlantic brain drainI am resisting the temptation to write a lamentation of anger and sorrow about Trump's second victory. What is more useful is to think about what Europe can do to protect its environment, its people and its economy in a world where the Trump administration may act, in many ways, to undermine and even destroy it.The EU's first bold move to lead by example in the new Trump era should be to seize 200bn euros' worth of frozen Russian central bank assets and transfer them to Ukraine as a form of pre-emptive reparations. The European Parliamentary Research Service and outside experts have proposed ways in which it could be done in full accordance with international law. But this alone won't obviate the need for the EU to borrow more to boost its common defence and green infrastructure spending, even though it will increase its debt.Alexander Hurst is a Guardian Europe columnist Continue reading...
To navigate the dangerous new era, Keir Starmer must end the culture of denial around the biggest strategic mistake of modern timesThe 35th anniversary of the Berlin Wall coming down was not commemorated much in Britain last weekend. It is no Poppy Day. The unravelling of the iron curtain doesn't compete with Remembrance Sunday for cultural resonance. But it is more relevant to the world we live in today. More poignant, too, now that Americans have chosen a president who is no friend of what used to be called the west.Few world leaders will be gladder to see Donald Trump return to the White House than the former KGB officer who sits in the Kremlin, craving vengeance for his Soviet motherland's humiliating defeat in the cold war.Rafael Behr is a Guardian columnist Continue reading...
Trump recruits pro-settler figure Mike Huckabee, and will also put Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy in charge of a new department of government efficiency
Beloved by Toni Morrison, Normal People by Sally Rooney, and Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut, among books pulledFlorida's department of education has released a list of more than 700 books that were removed or discontinued" from schools across the state after changes to a state law last year that allows parents and residents to challenge the content of library books.This year's list, which has doubled in size from last year, includes titles such as Beloved by Toni Morrison, Normal People by Sally Rooney, and Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut.

Anthony Albanese, Peter Dutton and Tony Abbott defend suitability of former PM after Dan Scavino social media post, despite Rudd's past criticism of president-elect
World's richest man has been an enthusiastic cost-cutter - but he may find the public sector an entirely different beastDonald Trump, president-elect of the US, announced on Tuesday that he has selected Elon Musk, the world's richest man, and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead the Department of Government Efficiency, with plans to reduce bureaucracy in the federal government by roughly a third.Musk had pushed for a government efficiency department and has since relentlessly promoted it, emphasizing the acronym for the agency: Doge, a reference to a meme of an expressive Shiba Inu. Trump said the agency will be conducting a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government, and making recommendations for drastic reforms". Continue reading...
Opponents say closing Great Highway to cars will increase traffic as supporters argue it will mitigate coastal erosionCalifornians have voted to close part of a nearly century-old highway in San Francisco to cars, transforming a two-mile section into a park for pedestrians and cyclists.On election day, city residents voted to approve Proposition K, extending the ban on vehicles on a portion of the Upper Great Highway along the coastline. The measure has sparked intense debate over whether cars should have regular access to the area. Continue reading...

As US electorate moves to right, Oregon city bucks trend and also elects most diverse city council in historyIn 2022 it appeared the political winds in Portland, Oregon, one of the US's most progressive cities, were beginning to shift. Residents who had grown frustrated over the city's approach to homelessness rejected the incumbent, Jo Ann Hardesty - the first Black woman to serve on the city council - in favor of the law-and-order" Democrat Rene Gonzalez, who pledged to back an expanded police force and clean up" Portland.But this month, as swaths of the US electorate moved to the right, the Pacific north-west city took a markedly different approach. Residents elected the most diverse city council in Portland history, opting for more progressives, and rejected Gonzalez as mayoral candidate. Instead, they chose Keith Wilson, a businessperson who has never before held office and has promised to end unsheltered homelessness in a year. Continue reading...
World super lightweight champion reflects on her rematch with Amanda Serrano being the main support to the controversial boutWhen Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano were locked in battle during the last round of their first fight at Madison Square Garden, on a fevered night in April 2022,, I could not help myself. Alongside an entire row of ringside reporters, I stood up to watch the final minute of a riveting contest. Suddenly oblivious to the march of our urgent deadlines and the etiquette of remaining above such raw human emotion, we were swept away by the courage and determination of both women in one of the greatest fights ever staged at the Garden.It was only afterwards, when you're looking back and hearing people's reactions that you think: Gosh, that was a huge moment for women in boxing'," Taylor says now. You're hearing stories of young girls being inspired by that night and how people are calling it historic. It's then that you just say: Wow, that was an amazing night..' Continue reading...
Sheng Thao and Pamela Price faced discontent over housing crisis, rising costs and departure of last sports teamVoters have ousted Oakland's mayor and the region's progressive district attorney, in a major political shake-up for the northern California port city. It's the first time in modern history that voters here have ousted leadership from either position.Sheng Thao, the mayor, and Pamela Price, the district attorney for Alameda county, were both the target of recall campaigns, launched amid discontent over the city's challenges: a spiralling housing crisis, rising costs and the departure of the city's last remaining major league sports team.

President-elect expected to pick Marco Rubio for secretary of state and Mike Waltz for national security adviserDonald Trump has chosen a pair of establishment Republicans from Florida for senior roles in his administration as he builds a national security team that looks more hawkish than the isolationist America First brand of foreign policy that he has championed in public.Trump was expected to select the senator Marco Rubio as his secretary of state, the US's top diplomat, and has asked the congressman Mike Waltz, a retired Green Beret known as a China hawk, to become his national security adviser, a powerful role that would help shape his policies on the conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza, as well as around the world.

Investigators say Ryan Borgwardt took out $375,000 life insurance and was in contact with woman in UzbekistanFor several weeks, the family of avid kayaker Ryan Borgwardt braced for the likelihood that search divers were about to find his body in a Wisconsin lake. His kayak, fishing rod, wallet and car keys were found at Green Lake on 12 August, the day he disappeared, and a lifejacket floating on the water offered further evidence that his wife and three children had lost their husband and father.An investigation, however, has determined that Borgwardt took out a $375,000 life insurance policy, faked his own death and simply vanished, possibly to central Asia to join a woman with whom he had been communicating online.

Settlers have been dreaming of a return to Gaza for nearly 20 years - and Trump's presidency may only embolden themLast week, Brig Gen Itzik Cohen, a senior IDF officer, quietly admitted what the international community has long been reluctant to acknowledge: that Israel is carrying out ethnic cleansing in northern Gaza, and deceiving the world about its true objectives in the besieged territory. He made the admission during a closed briefing to Israeli journalists last Tuesday regarding the army's activities in the north of the strip. Israel's forces, he boasted, were getting closer to the complete evacuation" of Jabaliya, Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahiya - Gaza's three northernmost cities, which have been under intense Israeli bombardment since early October. There is no intention of allowing the residents of the northern Gaza Strip to return to their homes," Cohen continued, before adding that his clear orders" were to create a cleansed space".The army hastened to distance itself from Cohen's comments after they garnered the attention of the international media: what may have sounded like war crimes, a spokesperson clarified, was merely a remark taken out of context. Yet what we see playing out on the ground in northern Gaza is exactly as Cohen described it: tens of thousands of civilians forced out of homes, shelters and hospitals, day after day, by airstrikes, artillery fire, quadcopter drones or armed battalions arriving at their door - who make sure to demolish or burn whatever is left behind.Ben Reiff is a senior editor at +972 magazineDo you have an opinion on the issues raised in this article?

Consumers started their Christmas shopping early, Kantar says; UK jobless rate rises to 4.3% while wage growth excluding bonuses is at a two-year lowThe UK can strike a US trade deal with Donald Trump while also rebuilding EU relations after Brexit to cement its status as a beacon of stability" in an increasingly volatile world, a leading economist has said.Andy Haldane, the former Bank of England chief economist, said Keir Starmer's government could show the UK was open for business at a time when so much else of the world is looking inward - whether to the EU, or the US, it could really pay dividends".Of course we should pursue energetically an improved deal with the EU, although that won't be straightforward. The new government committed to that and should keep on committing to that.That should not, though, preclude - and does not preclude, as difficult as it will be - seeking out a free trade arrangement with the US under a new Trump presidency.

Some liberals have a weird urge, based on the flimsiest evidence, to see conservative women as misled victims of Maga menHer father may have been voted into the highest office in the land, but have the results of the US election left Ivanka Trump feeling low? Deep down, did the former first daughter hope Kamala Harris might prevail?The idea that Ivanka, who appears to have made enormous amounts of money during her dad's first term, might have secretly been rooting for Harris seems preposterous. But consider, for a moment, the evidence, which is this: a blue pantsuit. Ivanka, who was absent for much of her dad's campaign, rocked up to Trump's victory party - creepy slumlord" husband in tow - wearing a bright blue ensemble. Since blue is associated with Democrats, tongues started wagging. Was this a fashion statement or a political statement? Was Ivanka trying to send a message that she was Team Kamala?

Billionaire provided vast majority of funds to America Pac in winning bid to return Trump to White HouseElon Musk's super political action committee (Pac) spent about $200m to help elect Donald Trump to a second presidency, according to a person familiar with the group's spending, funding an effort that set a new standard for how billionaires can influence elections.The billionaire chief executive officer of Tesla and SpaceX provided the vast majority of the money to America Pac, which focused on low-propensity and first-time voters, according to the Associated Press source, who was not authorized to disclose the figure publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. In turn, as CNBC reported, Musk's net worth jumped $70bn since Trump's victory in the 5 November election. Continue reading...

Gregory Aymond's offer, required because he turns 75, says he wants to stay for resolution of institution's bankruptcy but adds it is up to Pope FrancisNew Orleans' Roman Catholic archbishop Gregory Aymond is submitting his resignation Tuesday, on his 75th birthday, fulfilling a church requirement - though it is unclear if Vatican officials would immediately accept it with his scandal-plagued organization's expensive, highly contentious bankruptcy case still unresolved.In a letter issued on Friday to priests and deacons under his command, Aymond cited canon - or church - law that required him to offer to retire because of his age. But he said he also offered to remain in office until the resolution of the bankruptcy. Continue reading...

Harris and Trump voters share their election opinions from a Guardian callout that received more than a thousand responsesIt's like being sucked into a tsunami," said Vivian Glover, a Kamala Harris voter from South Carolina, about the realisation that Donald Trump had been re-elected as president.The contrast between the two campaigns couldn't have been more stark. On the one hand an intelligent, highly qualified public servant with a unifying message, and the opponent someone who epitomizes corruption, immorality, dishonesty, incompetence, racism, misogyny, tyranny and has clearly indicated his willingness to embrace authoritarianism."

At key moments throughout US history, white male anger has been privileged over national security, progress or basic welfareA friend recently asked: Do you think the United States will survive the anger of white men?" As blunt as the question is, the core element is not so far-fetched. In fact, the majority of white men (and women) who voted in the presidential election in 2024 have rallied around a man who has called for the termination of the constitution", vowed to be a dictator", and threatened to deploy the US military against Americans. They support a man who is a convicted felon, an adjudicated rapist, a proven liar, who has been fined nearly half a billion dollars for fraud, who incited an insurrection that injured 140 police officers, and who mismanaged the Covid-19 pandemic causing hundreds of thousands to die needlessly.The fact that Donald Trump's candidacy was even viable, given that horrific track record, was because of the support of white men. White men, whose anger was on full display at Madison Square Garden as they spewed racist, misogynistic venom. White men who attacked poll workers and also voters of Kamala Harris. White men who chafed at the thought that their wives and girlfriends would not vote for the man who thought it was a beautiful thing" that reproductive rights had been destroyed. And, as the New York Times reported, the downwardly mobile, frustrated white men without a degree, [who] have been surpassed in income by college-educated women".Carol Anderson is the Robert W Woodruff Professor of African American Studies at Emory University and the author of White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide Continue reading...
Lawsuit filed by pro-choice protesters seeks to clarify medical exceptions in states's near-total abortion banWomen denied medically necessary abortions in Idaho are expected to testify this week in a trial over the state's near-total abortion ban.The trial, which starts on Tuesday and is expected to last through at least Thursday, is part of a lawsuit filed by abortion rights supporters who want to clarify the medical exceptions in Idaho's near-total abortion ban. Currently, abortions are only permitted in Idaho to preserve a patient's health. The vagueness of the exception means women have been forced to go out of state for the procedure, or wait until they get sick enough that doctors can legally intervene. Continue reading...
Once Ice acting director and Heritage visiting fellow, Homan was called the father' of Trump's family separation policyIn 2018, then acting director of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) Thomas Homan told HuffPost that Congress needed to fix immigration laws because: I'm the first one to say, I can't arrest 11 million people."Now, newly tapped as Donald Trump's border czar", he will be tasked with just that. The president-elect said on Monday that Homan, a former law enforcement official who has served in immigration enforcement under multiple presidencies, would be in charge of all Deportation of Illegal Aliens back to their Country of Origin".

Just because Trump is publicly distancing himself from abortion does not mean Republicans won't enact a national banAbortion rights initiatives were on the ballot in 10 states on Tuesday, and won in seven of them. One of the losers was prop 4, Florida's abortion rights measure, which received a whopping 57% of the vote but failed to meet the state's unusually high 60% threshold, meaning that the state's six-week ban will remain in place. Asked about the Florida abortion rights proposition ahead of the election, Trump said that when he went to cast his ballot near Palm Beach, he would vote against it.It has always been a little hard to believe that Donald Trump personally hates abortion, even if it is abundantly clear how little he thinks of women. Trump, after all, has claimed to have numerous conflicting positions on abortion rights throughout his life. And his brand of masculinity is boorish, vulgar, and above all, sexually entitled - far from the priggish, repressed moralism of more classical anti-abortion figures like Mike Pence.Moira Donegan is a Guardian US columnist Continue reading...
