While the GOP’s fiscal conservatism won’t make front page news, some are noting a gap between what red states traditionally pay to the federal government versus what they spend, suggesting that it’s Republican territories who get more money. In one recent analysis on Twitter, it was even suggested that Trump-voting states are those that paid the least and got the most. Newsweek went to find out if the former president’s heartlands were the biggest beneficiaries....

At the virtual event, Biden announced a new target for the U.S. to cut emissions by 50 to 52 percent by 2030 compared with 2005 levels.

Released by Project Veritas, the video includes what it says is undercover footage of a conversation detailing COVID mutation projects, designed to pre-emptively research potential new strains of the virus before they may find root naturally. In wake of this, many social media users have started to claim that the video proves that Pfizer is conducting these experiments actively.

Oz and Fetterman are competing in a closely watched race for the open Senate seat in Pennsylvania, which could be crucial in deciding control of the chamber. The Claim Fetterman tweeted on August 31: “Dr. Oz was caught on a hot mic saying he’d ban abortion even in the cases of rape or incest.” “I’ve always been consistent: I’ll fight as hard as I can to protect women’s reproductive freedom + codify abortion rights into federal law....

Vladimir Putin’s forces are said to have struck one region 44 times the past weekend, including a kindergarten, with Russia and units led by Wagner Group mercenaries making gains in the east of the country.

Biden’s move was celebrated by his supporters for easing the financial burden of many student debt holders. However, his critics called the policy unfair, arguing the costs will fall onto the shoulders of those without student debt. The Claim Congressmen Jim Jordan (R-OH), Dan Crenshaw (R-TX), and House Ways and Means Committee Republicans tweeted on August 24, 2022 that the 87 percent of Americans who don’t have student loan debt will have to help pay for the debt forgiveness policy....

The president was mocked by political opponents and social media users earlier this year for appearing to read out the word “dot” from a website URL on a teleprompter during a White House speech. While the president has been pictured in the past handling “cheat sheets” and prompts to guide his public appearances—a strategy perhaps designed to temper his self-recognized propensity for slip-ups—the latest incident has revived unevidenced and conspiratorial narratives....

The researchers studied 43 first-year female students at their university during the 2006-7 school year, monitoring their subjects’ food consumption, physical activity levels, BMI and weight for year. Despite consuming more calories and sugar than off-campus students who weren’t on the school’s meal plan, the dorm residents also exercised more, perhaps because they were closer to campus facilities, and walked from the dorms to class instead of commuting by car, researchers said....

It says that “Romney provided taxpayer-funded abortions,” a distortion. Romney’s Massachusetts health-care plan faced a court order requiring abortions to be covered. It says Romney “refused to endorse Bush Tax Cut Plan,” but fails to note that McCain himself voted against it. It says, “Hillary tried to spend $1 million for a Woodstock museum” until “John McCain said NO.” In fact, McCain wasn’t present for the most important votes on the project....

Huckabee repeated his claim to have made 94 tax cuts including the “first broad-based tax cut” in the history of Arkansas, though he actually signed tax bills that resulted in a net increase in taxes of $500 million.

He also failed to mention $174 million in corporate tax “loophole” closings....

McNicoll:You grew up in the projects yourself. What has changed? Amara: Before, my district was a real working-class neighborhood with a large Algerian immigrant population and some French families. We were all poor, yet it was easier to live then because there was far less violence than today. What’s especially changed is the rise of anarchic violence that takes whole neighborhoods hostage. It’s the law of the strongest, and its corollary: the law of silence....

It is time to find a way to resist big tech’s information suppression and ensure a brighter future for digital free speech. The one glimmer of light in the board’s deeply flawed opinion is that it forces us to face real solutions. The Facebook case dealt with two main issues, both mismanaged by the oversight board. One was the fact that Facebook’s suspension of the then-president was indefinite. The other was that the same-day suspension of President Trump’s account—based on two posts from January 6 in the wake of the Capitol Hill incursion—happened in the first place....

According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the failed stadium plan to keep the Rams in St. Louis will cost more than $16.2 million with $10 million of the bill tied to HOK, a local architecture firm hired to design the proposed $1.1 billion National Car Rental Field to replace the Rams’ former Missouri home, the Edward Jones Dome. MORE: Chronicling the NFL’s recent history of relocation | The new stadium’s state-of-the-art features...

Otherwise also known as diving or simulation, these fake injuries often rub fans the wrong way and can leave players red-faced if they aren’t convincing enough. The practice has been part of the sport for many years but has become more prevalent over the past 20 years, as referees clamp down harder on dangerous tackles. But in the modern age, with thousands of cameras pointed at a pitch, players are being caught out more for faking injuries and taking a dive....

The Monaco striker’s stunning finish came during an eight-goal thriller at the Etihad Stadium, which ultimately saw the Ligue 1 leaders go down 5-3 to Pep Guardiola’s side ahead of what promises to be a exhilarating return leg in the principality. The Colombian beat out some stiff competition, including Casemiro’s thumping volley for Real Madrid in their 3-1 defeat of Napoli. That game also saw Lorenzo Insigne earn a nomination for the prize after his ingenious long-range effort completely bamboozled Keylor Navas in the Madrid goal....
