When Donald Trump lost his re-election bid in 2020, many Republicans — Trump included — made unsubstantiated claims of widespread election fraud. Now, following Vice President Kamala Harris’s 2024 loss, some of her liberal supporters are taking to social media to allege fraud. “I spent my early career in computer security for the Navy and NSA,” wrote Wayne Madsen, a writer known to spread conspiracy theories, in a November 6 Threads post. “I’m beginning to believe our election was massively hacked just like happened a few weeks ago in the Republic of Georgia.

However, a company might state that they do not care when an employee meets that amount, so long as they do it each week by midnight on Sunday. This allows employees to work whenever it is most convenient for them — this…
Plaster casts of people who died in Pompeii. DNA tests show the adult on the right was a male unrelated to the small child on his lap.Archeological Park of Pompei Pompeii’s plaster cast human figures aren’t who they were assumed to be, genetic tests have revealed, highlighting the way idealised stories can be projected onto archaeological evidence. The analysis also reveals that the demography of Pompeii was far more complicated and diverse than previously thought. When Vesuvius erupted in AD 79, it buried several Roman towns, including Pompeii. Many of Pompeii’s residents were completely smothered in compacted ash during the…

Current and former policymakers are warning that any attempt by Donald Trump to undermine the independence of the Federal Reserve in his second term as US president would destabilise the world’s largest economy and global financial markets.In his first presidency, Trump turned on Jay Powell, who he nominated in 2017 to lead the US central bank, branding the chair “clueless” and an “enemy” for resisting his calls for lower interest rates. He toyed with firing or demoting Powell but faced resistance from his advisers given the legal limits on such a move.Those threats resurfaced on the campaign trail as Trump…

GENEVA: Nobody besides the incumbent head of the World Trade Organization Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has thrown in their hat to lead the Geneva-based global commerce watchdog, two sources close to the process told Reuters, with nominations closing at midnight. The lack of competition will come as little surprise to WTO observers who are bracing for a messy, recriminatory period of tit-for-tat tariffs under US President-elect Donald Trump, who takes office in January. During his first term in 2017-21, Trump paralysed the WTO’s top adjudications court by blocking judge appointments – a status that continues today – and announced tariffs on US…
