Formula 1 fans look out, because Taylor Swift just claimed you. Some listeners are convinced that Swift, 34, made a pretty pointed reference to F1 in her new song “imgonnagetyouback,” which was released as part of her The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology on Friday, April 19. “Small talk, big love, act like I don’t care what you did,” Swift sings on the second verse. “I’m an Aston Martin that you steered straight into the ditch / Then ran and hid.” Some Swifties have claimed that the Aston Martin car reference is alluding to her rumored romance with F1 driver…

Sacrifice is a word that’s come up in the Rangers locker room on more than one occasion this year as the club banded together to overcome every obstacle that presented itself on their way to finishing the regular season atop the NHL. Lost in the excitement of capturing the Presidents’ Trophy and gearing up for the playoffs, however, was perhaps the most delicate situation that required a selfless response. Jacob Trouba was demoted to the third defensive pairing in the final two games of the regular season and looks primed to remain there for at least Game 1 of the…

The FBI was tipped off in April 2020 to gain-of-function virus research in China, funded by the agency formerly headed by Dr. Anthony Fauci, that “would leave no signature of purposeful human manipulation,” emails from agents at the bureau show. At least one FBI agent at the bureau’s Newark Field Office referred to the revelation as “alarming.” Another agent called the tip “interesting,” and vowed to follow-up with others at the FBI. The five-pages of emails were obtained by conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch via a Freedom of Information Act request and released Friday.  “These smoking gun documents showed the…

During his visit to a war memorial near his hometown in Pennsylvania, President Biden appeared to imply his uncle was eaten by cannibals after his plane was shot down during World War II.”He flew single-engine planes, reconnaissance flights over New Guinea. He had volunteered because someone couldn’t make it. He got shot down in an area where there were a lot of cannibals in New Guinea at the time,” President Biden said. “They never recovered his body.”On Thursday, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre acknowledged that President Biden’s maternal uncle, Ambrose Finnegan, who he refers to as “Uncle Bosie,” did…

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — The U.S. Border Patrol is asserting its authority to seize cannabis shipments — including commercial, state-authorized supplies — as licensed cannabis providers file complaints that more than $300,000 worth of marijuana has been confiscated in recent months at highway checkpoints in southern New Mexico.New Mexico’s Democratic governor says the disruptions prompted a discussion this week with U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, whose impeachment charges were dismissed this week. Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham says she voiced concerns that the scrutiny of cannabis companies appears to be greater in New Mexico than states with regulated markets…

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…

President Biden vowed Friday that former President Donald Trump’s 2017 tax cuts would lapse next year if he’s re-elected and “stay expired” — meaning higher taxes for middle class and low-income Americans — prompting a hasty walk-back by aides. Biden, 81, lambasted Trump’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), which permanently lowered corporate taxes from 35% to 21% and temporarily lowered personal income tax rates through 2025, as a giveaway to the rich in a speech to electrical union members in Washington. “[Trump] was proud, very proud of his $2 trillion tax cut when he was president that overwhelmingly benefited the wealthy…

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A Texas appeals court has ruled that Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton can face discipline from the state bar association over his failed effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election.A disciplinary committee of the State Bar of Texas accused Paxton in 2022 of making false claims of fraud in a lawsuit that questioned President Joe Biden’s victory. On Thursday, a three-judge panel of the 5th District Court of Appeals said Paxton can be sanctioned by the committee because the lawsuit seeks to punish him in his personal capacity as an attorney and not as a public…
