      Newsmax, one of Trump's new favorite networks, is reportedly trying to poach Fox News employees with offers of higher salaries

      The conservative TV network Newsmax has attempted to poach several Fox News staffers with offers of higher salaries, according to Axios. The news comes soon after Newsmax briefly eclipsed Fox News in a key ratings metric for the first time on Monday, according to Reuters. It continues the intense competition between Fox โ€” still the leading cable news network โ€” and Newsmax's brand of upstart, hyperpartisan pro-Trumpism.

      UN-African Union envoy says mistrust deep in Sudanโ€™s Darfur

      The joint U.N.-African Union envoy for Darfur cautioned on Wednesday that mistrust still runs deep in Sudan's troubled region and urged the transitional government in Khartoum to embark on the โ€œhuge taskโ€ of gaining the trust of the local people. Jeremiah Mamabolo's remarks came as U.N. Security Council members remained divided on the timing to end the mandate of the joint mission, known as UNAMID. The people of Darfur โ€œhave been betrayed ... A lot of crimes and injustice have been committed against them, so they feel insecure,โ€ Mamabolo told The Associated Press.

      Airbnb's co-founder learns live on air that his net worth just doubled

      Airbnb CEO and co-founder Brian Chesky could use a bit of work on his poker face โ€” though learning you've raised a few billion more dollars than expected is a reasonable excuse for breaking it. The home rental app, which Chesky launched along with Nathan Blecharczyk and Joe Gebbia, first started selling shares at $68 per piece when they began being traded Wednesday. Essentially, Chesky and the other co-founders' net worth was about to double as well, from about $3 billion to more than $6 billion, seeing as they all planned to retain around 10 percent of the company.

      Dr. Anthony Fauci, who has been one of America's most trusted medical leaders during the coronavirus pandemic, recently confirmed that the virus has impacted his own family.

Fauci made the revelation during a livestream interview hosted by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and moderated by Dr. Sanjay Gupta of CNN.

      On Fox News on Thursday,ย liberal guest host Marie Harf questioned why her fellow panelists weren't focusing more on the record COVID-19 daily deaths in the US. "We're 43 minutes into this show, and we haven't mentioned yet that 3,000 Americans died yesterday, more than on 9/11," Harf said, adding, "We cannot lose sight of the tragedy that is unfolding every single day in this country, largely because people want to go about life as normal." In response, Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner berated Harf: "Please, keep your judgment someplace where you know you can fact check it, because you can't see my heart."

      Lebanese judge charges caretaker PM in August port explosion

      The Lebanese prosecutor probing last summer's port explosion in Beirut filed charges on Thursday against the caretaker prime minister and three former ministers, accusing them of negligence that led to the death of hundreds of people, Lebanon's official news agency said. The four are the most senior individuals to be indicted so far in the investigation, which is being conducted in secrecy. Judge Fadi Sawwan, the prosecutor responsible for the investigation, filed the charges against Hassan Diab and former Finance Minister Ali Hassan Khalil, as well as Ghazi Zeiter and Youssef Fenianos, both former ministers of public works.

      California's health order falling on many deaf ears

      In the Southern California oceanside city of Manhattan Beach, one arm of government is urging residents to stay home except for essential needs while another is encouraging them to get out and shop and even providing places where they can sit down to relax, eat takeout and watch the sun set on the Pacific. It's one example of confusing messages from governments as most of California is under a broad shutdown order that includes an overnight curfew to try to stem record-breaking coronavirus cases that threaten to overwhelm the hospital system. While state and county health officials are pleading with residents to stay home and only mingle with those in their household, the order allows all retailers to remain open with 20% capacity and encourages people to get outside to exercise.

      WASHINGTON โ€“ Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, blocked two proposals on Thursday to create Smithsonian museums for Latino and women's history from unanimously passing the Senate, saying there's been too much "balkanization" in the country. Claiming "the last thing we need is to further divide an already divided nation," Lee blocked proposals to establish the National Museum of the American Latino and the American Women's History Museum. "Within the walls of a Smithsonian museum just like at the National Gallery of Art or the great memorials that dot this city, there is no us and them.

      Georgia House speaker moves against election official

      Amid continuing Republican attacks on the legitimacy of Joe Biden's presidential victory in Georgia, the state House speaker is proposing to take the selection of the state's chief election official from the voters and put it in the hands of legislators. Republican House Speaker David Ralston said Thursday that he will seek a state constitutional amendment to change how Georgia's secretary of state is chosen. With two-thirds approval needed by both the House and Senate, such a move is unlikely, particularly with Democrats signaling immediate opposition.

      A scientist has testified that CDC officials directed her to destroy records that showed political interference by President Donald Trump over their handling of the coronavirus. Charlotte Kent, chief of the scientific publications branch and editor-in-chief of the Morbidity and Mortality weekly report, told congressional investigators on Monday that Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Robert Redfield attempted to interfere on Trump's behalf, NBC reported. Kent claimed that Redfield told his staff to delete an email that showed a Trump appointee seeking control of the agency's scientific reports on the COVID-19 crisis.

      On Tuesday, Axios reported that a suspected Chinese spy got close to Rep. Eric Swalwell of California early in his political career and, separately, slept with two unnamed US mayors as part of a yearslong intelligence campaign. Swalwell has not been accused of wrongdoing, and Axios also did not report on or suggest any sexual relationship between Swalwell and the woman. But on Tuesday night, the Fox News host Tucker Carlson said that US intelligence officials believed Swalwell and the woman had a sexual relationship and that Swalwell's office declined to comment on the matter.

      Attorney General Bill Barr reportedly knew about the Hunter Biden tax probes for months but kept them under wraps before the election

      Attorney General William Barr knew about two criminal investigations into Hunter Biden's financial dealings for months before the general election but kept them from the public, The Wall Street Journal reported. The news is a remarkable twist in Barr's tenure as President Donald Trump's attorney general, during which he repeatedly took steps to benefit the president and feed into his conspiracy theories. According to The Journal, Barr knew about the Biden tax investigations since at least the spring but tried to keep them under wraps in accordance with Justice Department rules that prevent prosecutors from taking overt investigative steps that could affect the outcome of an election.
