Former President Trump is not immune from prosecution in the 2020 federal election case‚ a federal appeals court ruled Tuesday. The U.S. Court of Appeals - D.C. Circuit considered Trump’s claim of presidential immunity from prosecution for his actions in office‚ including his alleged role in trying to overturn his 2020 election loss‚ ultimately saying it was "unpersuaded by his argument" and ruled a case against him can proceed. "We have balanced former President Trump’s...

A federal appeals court on Tuesday rejected former President Donald J. Trump’s claim that he was immune from prosecution on charges of plotting to subvert the results of the 2020 election‚ ruling that he must go to trial on a criminal indictment accusing him of seeking to overturn his loss to President Biden. The unanimous ruling‚ by a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit‚ handed Mr. Trump a significant defeat. But it was unlikely to be the...

Donald Trump is not immune from criminal prosecution for efforts to reverse his loss in the 2020 presidential election‚ a federal appeals court said in a unanimous ruling Tuesday. A three-judge appeals panel flatly rejected Trump’s argument that he could not be charged in the case because he was president at the time of the alleged crimes. “We cannot accept that the office of the Presidency places its former occupants above the law for all time thereafter‚” said...

If you're reading this article as an adult who keeps hearing people talk about "Bluey" and are wondering what all the fuss is about‚ hi there. I used to be you. I'd heard people recommend "Bluey" over and over‚ but I had no inclination to watch a children's show after already paying my dues in that department. My youngest is a teenager. Why on Earth would I want to watch "Bluey?"I was wrong. So very wrong. It took my teen checking it out and getting hooked for me to finally cave and watch a few episodes. Initial intrigue morphed into sheer delight‚ and now I'm a totally unapologetic "Bluey" evangelist.And I'm not alone. More and more adults are falling for the family of Australian Blue Heeler dogs and comparing their favorite episodes. One fan favorite that comes up frequently is "Sleepytime." Many adults find themselves in a puddle by the end of it. But why?Blue does a lot of things beautifully‚ but one of them is creatively highlighting child development milestones. In "Sleepytime‚" Bingo‚ the youngest‚ wants to "do a big girl sleep" and wake up in her own bed in the morning. The episode follows the family through the night‚ alternating between Bingo's dream world and the "musical beds" happening in the real world. Really‚ it's a short tale about growing up‚ letting go in your own time‚ knowing Mom is always there even if you can't see her and the reality of sleep in families with young children. X user Justin Dubin‚ MD‚ a first-time "Bluey" watcher‚ shared his thoughts on "Sleepytime" after seeing that it was ranked as one of the best episodes of TV ever on IMDB. "Good god‚ it’s perfect‚" Dubin wrote. "Rarely do you see such a simple idea considered in such a complex and relatable way. In just 8 minutes it tackles parenthood‚ growing up‚ independence‚ and family dynamics- all with very little dialogue." @justindubinmd @IMDb @BlueyCommunity @OfficialBlueyTV It is an absolutely incredible episode. \n\nIt\u2019s so perfect. The choice of Gustav Holst\u2019s Jupiter for the soundtrack was so amazingly selected. — (@) While there's much less dialogue in "Sleepytime" than there is in a normal "Bluey" episode‚ the music (Holst's "Jupiter" from "The Planets") creates a sense of magic as Bingo floats around in space‚ gravitating toward the warmth of her mother‚ getting help from her stuffed bunny‚ Floppy‚ and friends‚ and ultimately finding comfort without Mom. And all of that magic is interspersed with real life in which kids are asking for water‚ climbing into Mom and Dad's bed‚ kicking in their sleep‚ sleepwalking‚ and more.First of all‚ a kids' show acknowledging that children end up in parents' or siblings' beds frequently is refreshing to see. So real. Second of all‚ the tenderness with which Bingo's budding independence is handled is just lovely. People often praise "Bluey" as a show that depicts good parenting examples‚ and it does. But it does that while being real—there's one episode where Chili‚ Bluey and Bingo's mom‚ says‚ "I JUST NEED 20 MINUTES WHERE NO ONE COMES NEAR ME‚" and moms everywhere felt it in their bones.The beginning of the "Sleepytime" episode is shown at the beginning of this video on Bluey's YouTube channel if you want a taste:But to see more than the first couple of minutes‚ you'll have to watch the entire episode on Disney + (Season 2‚ Episode 26). It honestly might be worth the subscription price for a month just to watch all the Bluey episodes.

A couple in Gatesville‚ Texas‚ have started an interesting debate on TikTok over whether it's right for them to charge their 19-year-old daughter rent to live with them after graduating high school. Ranchers Erika and Cody Archie‚ who go by Bay7Ranch on TikTok‚ have a million followers on the platform where people watch their videos documenting life on a ranch.Kylee Archie graduated high school in May of 2022‚ and on June 1‚ she started paying her parents $200 a month in rent. “Our thought together is that since [Kylee] has graduated‚ I told her... I been telling her‚ ‘June the first‚ our rent's due if you continue to live here‚"' said Cody‚ who is a bit more strict than his wife‚ said in the viral video.“I thought that was a little harsh‚ I mean‚ maybe a little leeway‚” Erika added. “200 bucks a month is plenty cheap to live like a grub in your parents' house‚” Cody continued. “That's cheaper than she eats in food‚" the mother added. “We think it teaches them a good lesson in paying bills.”How do you feel about making your adult children pay rent to live at home?  @bar7ranch How do you feel about making your adult children pay rent to live at home? This is a REPOST from last year but since its on Fox Business News right now we thought we’d chat about it again! #Parenting #ParentsChargingRent #AdultChildren #DryHumor #Sarcasm #MarriageHumor #Marriage #CoupleTok #RanchTok #AgTok #KeepRanchin #KingOfTikTok #RanchLife #Ranch Understanding that the issue might stir controversy‚ the couple asked its followers if they agreed. “How do you feel about making your adult children pay rent to live at home?” they captioned the video.The responses were a mixed bag of pros and cons. Some thought it was a good idea because it teaches responsibility and prevents kids from doing nothing because they’re being enabled. "Responsibility is always a great lesson!" James Jackson wrote. "Collect rent‚ then give it back when they move out‚" John Deere added.Others think that the world is hard enough and that it's the parents' job to support their kids‚ no matter what. "Nope‚ my son is 23‚ and we don't charge him. He works and helps around the house...but life is hard enough and not gonna charge my kid‚" Shelly wrote. "No‚ because I wanted them to save money to get out faster. If they are paying me‚ they aren't saving to get out‚" Tammy Lynn Ballard wrote."A definite no for me… I know it’s rare‚ but I will forever help my kids… no matter the age‚" Chief's Wife 101 wrote. "No one ever said we wouldn’t be here to help our kids forever‚" the Archies responded.The Archies' situation isn’t unique. As of July 2022‚ 50% of adults in America aged 18 to 29 were living with their parents. But should they be required to pay rent? A majority of Americans say they should. A recent poll of 15000 Americans found that 57% say adult children living with their parents should have to pay rent.One of the biggest balancing acts of parenting is deciding whether you give your kids too much or too little. An old saying may help people in a similar situation: You should give your kids enough so they can do something but not so much that they do nothing. That goes both ways‚ giving your kids too much help will make them dependent‚ so they don’t have the fire in their bellies to become successful. However‚ a kid who gets too little may not have the resources to pursue their goals in the first place.This story originally appeared on 11.16.23
