Oil prices fluctuated on Friday, briefly spiking as much as 3% after Israel hit back at Iran in a retaliatory strike, further heightening tensions in the Middle East. Brent crude prices briefly reached above $90 per barrel after a US official told ABC News that Israel launched missile strikes against Iran late Thursday. The attack came after Iran rained down more than 300 drones and missiles toward the Jewish nation last Saturday — though nearly all were intercepted by Israel and its allies. Israel’s early morning retaliatory strike, however, appeared to be “limited,” according to a military source — though…

A newly discovered 98-foot-long dinosaur named after the Hindu god Shiva “The Destroyer” stomped around Argentina alongside other long-necked “megatitanosaurs” more than 90 million years ago, scientists reveal. Researchers described the humongous beast, called Bustingorrytitan shiva, late last year from fossils discovered in western Argentina. Now, they’ve worked with an artist to recreate the Cretaceous titanosaur, a stockier type of long-necked sauropod, in stunning images and videos.B. shiva is among the largest sauropods ever recorded, with an estimated weight of around 74 tons (67 metric tons), according to a study published Dec. 18, 2023, in the journal Acta Palaeontologica Polonica.

U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., praised her daughter on Friday, a day after the Ivy League college student was arrested in New York City while participating in an anti-Israel protest.”I am enormously proud of my daughter @israhirsi,” Omar wrote on X. “She has always led with courage and compassion, from organizing a statewide school walk out on the 20th anniversary of Columbine at the age of 15, to leading the biggest youth climate rally at our nation’s Capitol at 16, and now pushing her school to stand against genocide.” Rep. Ilhan Omar’s daughter, Isra Hirsi, left, said Thursday she was suspended from Barnard College following her involvement in an anti-Israel protest on Columbia University’s campus in New York City. (Getty Images)”Stepping up to change what you can’t tolerate is why we as a country have the right to speech, assembly, and petition enshrined in our constitution,” she added. Isra Hirsi was among more than 100 people issued a summons for trespassing on Thursday related to protests at Columbia University. This story is breaking. Please check back for updates.
John Stamos understands why Taylor Swift’s newest album, The Tortured Poets Department, is making waves in Hollywood. “Is there any man on planet Earth right now whose phone is blowing up more than Charlie Puth right now?” Josh Gad, who listened to the 34-year-old pop star’s record with his two daughters, teased via Instagram on Friday, April 19. (Puth, 32, was name-dropped on title track “The Tortured Poets Department” as a singer Swift once praised with an ex.) Stamos, 60, offered Gad, 43, an alternate theory, commenting: “Kim K?” Swift revealed on Friday that she wrote a double album, The…
Tenth of an 11-part series. Coming tomorrow: specialists. Football always has been a family affair for Tyler Nubin, whose younger brother, Jordan, was a teammate the past two seasons at the University of Minnesota. But playing in the defensive secondary also is in Nubin’s blood as his late uncle, Steve King, was a defensive back at Michigan in the mid-’90s, a teammate of two future Pro Football Hall of Famers — Ty Law and Heisman Trophy-winning corner Charles Woodson. Nubin — whose father, Rodney, also played collegiately at Eastern Michigan — now could be on his way to NFL stardom…

No, Blake Lively did not have four more children — but Taylor Swift did drop some names that are confusing fans. The biggest question surrounds the track “Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus” from The Tortured Poets Society: The Anthology, which dropped on Friday, April 19. Traditionally, Swift name-drops her famous friends in songs, and even — sometimes — reveals the names of their children. She famously used the names of Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ three daughters, James, Inez and Betty, in a three-song story on 2020’s Folklore. However, with “Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus,” it appears…
Here is another spot in the defensive backfield that is not exactly fully-stocked with proven talent. The leading man the past few years, Xavier McKinney, left for riches ($67 million) bestowed upon him by the Packers. McKinney played all 1,128 snaps on defense in 2023, meaning there is a whole bunch of playing time awaiting someone. Jason Pinnock returns at one starting spot and perhaps ballhawk Dane Belton is ready for a larger role. Veteran Jalen Mills was signed to a one-year deal and he should compete for work. GM Joe Schoen does not believe in spending big for a…
A former senior adviser to National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci shared “confidential” communications with EcoHealth Alliance about how the agency was preparing to respond to accusations that it funded risky gain-of-function experiments on coronaviruses in Wuhan, China. The House Select Committee on the Coronavirus Pandemic released an email on Friday between NIAID’s Dr. David Morens and EcoHealth President Dr. Peter Daszak, in which the senior scientific adviser noted Fauci had been briefed about the accusations of substandard biosafety levels at the Chinese research lab. “Peter, the below CONFIDENTIAL email went to Tony,” Morens wrote…
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has been exonerated by a Department of Justice review that found investigators did not intend to target traditional Catholics as potential “racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists.”The Justice Department Inspector General review noted, however, that analysts “incorrectly conflated” an investigative subject’s religious views with his alleged domestic terrorism activities. Findings from the 120-day review, which was handled by Justice Department Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz and ordered by Congress, were outlined in a letter sent to members of Congress on Thursday.An FBI Richmond, Virginia, internal memo, titled “Interest of Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremists in…
Anti-Israel protesters near Columbia University were heard shouting pro-Hamas slogans this week as demonstrations geared up at the private campus. “We are Hamas!” one aggressive protester was captured shouting on video. When a person asked her, “You’re Hamas, wow! You’re what? You’re Hamas?” she answered, “We are all Hamas, pig!” Another person could be heard calling, “Long live Hamas!” On Thursday, more than 100 anti-Israel protesters were arrested as they set up an encampment on campus that continued on Friday.

The internet is convinced that Travis Kelce is unbothered by girlfriend Taylor Swift’s song lyrics about her exes — and the reasoning is kind of hilarious. In case you hadn’t heard, Swift, 34, dropped The Tortured Poets Department on Friday, April 19. The standard version includes 16 songs — but that simply wasn’t enough, and Swift released a 31-song double album that appears to be about her 2023 splits from exes Joe Alwyn and Matty Healy. Since Swift is currently in what appears to be a much happier romance with Kelce, 34, fans have been musing about the NFL star’s…
Add Kelly Oubre versus celebrities as another matchup to watch during the Knicks-76ers first-round playoff series. The 76ers forward took a moment on Friday to chirp Madison Square Garden’s vaunted Celebrity Row before Game 1 at the arena on Saturday. “They’re gonna give celebrities those $100,000 [worth of] free tickets just to be there and not care about the game,” Oubre said. “That’s what they do.” Oubre does sort of have a point. Page Six reported in December that the Rangers denied model Emily Ratajkowski more complimentary tickets after she and fellow model Irina Shayk left the Knick’s 100-98 comeback win…
WASHINGTON — White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Friday that it would be inappropriate to poke fun at President Biden for falsely suggesting on two occasions earlier this week that his uncle, Ambrose Finnegan, was eaten by cannibals in New Guinea during World War II. Jean-Pierre made the scolding comment during a back-and-forth with Fox News reporter Peter Doocy during her regular briefing — while New Guinea residents expressed a mix of outrage and amusement at the 81-year-old president’s remarks. “Why is President Biden saying [Finnegan] was shot down — there is no evidence of that — and…
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon could get weapons moving to Ukraine within days if Congress passes a long-delayed aid bill. That’s because it has a network of storage sites in the U.S. and Europe that already hold the ammunition and air defense components that Kyiv desperately needs.Moving fast is critical, CIA Director Bill Burns said Thursday, warning that without additional aid from the U.S., Ukraine could lose the war to Russia by the end of this year.UKRAINE CLAIMS IT SHOT DOWN A RUSSIAN STRATEGIC BOMBER AS MOSCOW’S MISSILES KILL 8 UKRAINIANSPentagon press secretary Maj.
