A senior official told MS NOW that Hegseth's office orchestrated a deliberate screening process, compiling paper-only dossiers of internet search results that the affected officers could not review. Instructions about the new criteria were communicated by phone rather than in writing, leaving no written record of the directives. "I was like 'you gotta be kidding me,'" the official said.

Inflation came in hotter than expected, with economists predicting October prices would be up 0.3% month-over-month. The news is not good for American families continuing to struggle with affordability, and shows exactly why Republicans were obliterated in the midterm elections last week. The report also increases the likelihood that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates again for the second time this year before year's end, with Fed governors stating they would watch the October CPI report to make a determination.

Their parents wouldn't allow it. "When you look at a child who's innocent and vulnerable -- and a simple intervention that's been done since 1961 is refused -- knowing that baby's going out into the world is super worrisome to me," said Patterson, a pediatrician for nearly three decades. Opposition to vaccines and other measures designed to protect newborns often stems from the mistaken belief that natural is inherently better than artificial, according to Dr. David Hill, a Seattle pediatrician and researcher. <p>"Nature will allow 1 in 5 human infants to die in the first year of life," Hill said, "which is why generations of scientists and doctors have worked to bring that number way, way down."

Flight tracking data seen by BBC Verify shows the aircraft left RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk and landed at other American bases in Europe and also at Prestwick Airport in Ayrshire. The Wall Street Journal reported that this was in response to a threat from Iran but the BBC has not independently verified that claim. Monday's departures come weeks after the US withdrew its bombers from RAF Fairford airbase over a suspected Iran-linked security incident. Using public tracking site Flightradar24 BBC Verify has been able to see USAF KC-135 tankers leaving Mildenhall throughout Monday.

Russ Walker, an adviser to Trump's 2020 campaign, said he expects bipartisan support for an investigation: "I don't think I'm alone in this," Walker said.

Top Democrats announced their support for the resolution, but Republicans moved to kill it by referring it to the judiciary committee.

Trump did not criticize Biden or challenge the results of the election. Instead, he wrote almost poetically about his experience working in the White House and how he believed that Biden "will be true to yourself and the American people." "Many presidents have come and gone who simply governed as Republicans or Democrats," Trump wrote. "Largely, they did not change history, they were just swept along in its relentless tide. This will not happen to you because I know how much you love the American people." Won't that make Kim Jong Un jealous?
