She’s Mary Locked-ins. Ghislaine Maxwell was snapped going for a casual stroll while carrying an umbrella on a sunny day at the cushy Federal Prison Camp Bryan — just days after Congress voted to release the Epstein files. Video released Saturday showed Jeffrey Epstein’s madam wearing a pair of blue athletic shorts and a matching blue t-shirt, walking freely in the park-esque Texas prison which had temps in the high 70s this past week.

Democratic Sen. John Fetterman is breaking with veteran party strategist James Carville, arguing that Democrats should “win more elections” rather than change the rules. His remarks come as a response to Carville’s recent calls to pack the Supreme Court and confront the party’s “identity left.” “I strongly rejected trying to pack the Supreme Court or to change those things,” Fetterman said on “Saturday in America.” “When I ran for the Senate back in the ‘21, ’22, I rejected those things,” he added. The difference in opinion between Carville and Fetterman underscores a growing divide within the Democratic Party between reformers…

Kyiv residents are bracing for what could be the toughest winter of the war in Ukraine, with Moscow raining down record numbers of missiles and drones while targeting the war-torn nation’s energy infrastructure. Districts in the capital city have been on a rolling blackout schedule, as an estimated 60% of natural gas production capacity has been lost due to Russian strikes, according to the International Energy Agency. “The power outages, unfortunately, are just everyday life,” Kyiv resident Dmytro Kustov, 29, told the AFP, adding his power now goes out twice a day, for four hours at a time.

We often assume that kindness is a universal good, that warmth is inherently soothing, and that a genuine gesture of connection will be received as something nourishing. And yet, many of us have experienced the opposite: We offer something simple and warm, and the reaction that comes back is withdrawal, defensiveness, or even hostility. It’s one of the most perplexing interpersonal moments—not because of the loss itself, but because of the dissonance. Something given with clarity is returned with confusion. Something light is experienced as heavy. Generosity becomes a burden. Whenever this happens, people tend to jump to two conclusions:…

This bounce did not go Kevin Huerter’s way and ended his night prematurely. The Bulls veteran received one of the most polarizing ejections of the NBA season after he swatted the ball and unintentionally hit a referee on Friday night. Huerter thus received the boot in the third quarter of Chicago’s 143-107 home loss to the Heat, and he and Bulls coach Billy Donovan both reacted in disbelief. Huerter reacts to being ejected. AP “I didn’t get much explanation,” Huerter said. “I apologized to the ref … it wasn’t malicious, it wasn’t intended to be aggressive toward her. I don’t…
