Intel is trying to form a comeback after losing over a billion dollars in a quarter and tanking its stock, and now concerns over when it will get promised federal funding have joined the mix. The CHIPS and Science Act made its way through both sides of U.S. Congress as an incentives package, which finally passed in 2022 and received President Joe Biden’s signature. In March, Biden announced the U.S. Department of Commerce had reached a preliminary agreement...

When Kamala Harris and Donald Trump met on the ABC News debate stage this week, the vice president reiterated her changed energy position, saying she would not institute a "fracking ban" if elected. The debate was held at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. Pennsylvania is a key swing state in the race with the second-highest oil and gas economy in the country. "Let's talk about fracking because we're here in Pennsylvania," Harris said Tuesday evening.

On the menu today: Tuesday night’s presidential debate did feature some brief comments about China, even if the moderators didn’t ask about our preeminent foreign-policy challenge even once. Harris’s accusation that Trump “sold us out” on China and semiconductors is highly misleading, and the Biden administration’s bans on Chinese use of the chips are as leaky as a sieve. Finally, while I’ll give Kamala Harris a gold star for remembering the unanswered questions about the origin of Covid-19 and...

The New Yorker and The Atlantic both claimed that former President Donald Trump’s claim that Vice President Kamala Harris wants to do “transgender operations on illegal aliens that are in prison” had no basis. Verdict: False Trump’s claim is based on a 2019 American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) questionnaire that asked Harris if she would support paying for transgender surgeries for detained migrants. She answered yes. Her campaign has not stated whether or not she...

If you've ever traveled or gone out to a party or bar with a group of friends, then you've probably experienced the phenomenon of the "friend-parent." Now, this is a term I totally just made up, but I bet you recognize it. The friend-parent is the one that takes on the responsibility of corralling any stragglers, tossing out drinks that have been left unattended and generally making sure everyone stays safe.A friend-parent was recently caught on video being an "airport dad" to his group of friends. Usually, you hear about women looking out for other women in a mother-hen sort of way, but this guy group just proved the friend-parent knows no gender. In a TikTok video from Johannes2o that currently has over 8.4 million views, a small group of guys are standing near each other with "POV: our friend is an airport dad" in text on the screen. Before the crew heads into the airport, their friend collects everyone's passports and boarding passes before checking his watch. He checks flight information one last time and then tries to have them all check in but they're too early. The whole video is playing out to the tune of "Highway to the Danger Zone."At one point, the airport dad stands with his hands on his hips seemingly inspecting the plane from the large windows at the gate. If that's not a dad move, I don't know what is. One of the best moments that exemplifies "dad mode" is when the friend-parent realizes that one of the guys overpacked and he helps the friend repack while appearing stressed.The guys had one job and it seems airport dad couldn't trust them with that either. The overpacker will never live this down, and now weighing and measuring bags will likely become one of airport dad's self-imposed pre-airport duties. Watch the unexpectedly cute video below: @johannes2o Hes gonna be a great dad? #airport #airportdad This article originally appeared on 3.28.23
