The premise for “The Last of Us,” both the video game and the HBO hit series, centers around the survival of two people navigating a post-apocalyptic wasteland after a mutated fungus infected most of the world’s population, turning victims into mindless zombies.

In one of the worst “Made in China” product disasters in recent memory, 10 people in the United States have recently either died or been seriously wounded when the airbag in their car went off and blasted their face, neck, and chest with metal shrapnel. Instead of creating a pillow to cushion the impact, these made-in-China airbags acted like grenades—so far killing eight drivers in what would’ve...

In a new decision, the U.S. Supreme Court has allowed a Republican congressman to challenge a state election law. The decision is highly consequential in the precedent that it sets.

Since the start of the report, the dollar amount of the government...

The U.S. Supreme Court just issued a decision that expands your right to appeal a federal prison sentence. Now, I’m sure most people reading this won’t ever become a federal prisoner—but, if you ever do, or if someone you know does, they will now have more rights given the fact that the court threw out a significant limit on federal prisoner appeals. Let’s go through the details together.

Lately, I’ve been seeing a lot of videos online of people glazing Chinese electric vehicles. How good they are. How fast they are. How well designed and sleek they are. How luxurious the interiors are. How good they are on power. And even how good they are on price. Basically, how they knock it out of the park compared to American EVs. I’ve also seen quite a few business videos, of people criticiz...

In a bit of a surprising move, on Nov. 24, a federal judge dismissed the indictment against New York Attorney General Letitia James.

The U.S. Navy is scrambling to retrieve two aircraft that fell into the South China Sea without explanation in October—and they’re trying to find them before the Chinese do.

In what would be one of the largest payouts in U.S. history, President Donald Trump announced his plan on Nov. 9 to take the huge sums of money collected from tariff revenue and use them to send $2,000 checks to most American households.
