Georgia Republican lawmaker also claims she didn’t know Rothschild family, of her ‘space laser’ theory, was Jewish

Republican US House member Marjorie Taylor Greene has said she believes in demons, surmising that they might be aliens who fell from heaven, and claims to have been unaware that key figures in the antisemitic space lasers conspiracy she floated were Jewish.

She made those bizarre remarks as a guest on Friday on HBO’s Real Time With Bill Maher after winning some fans among Democrats who once loathed her – yet had come to appreciate how the far-right Georgia representative had recently broken with Republicans on various issues. Those include healthcare, Gaza, the federal government shutdown that began on 1 October and the handling of documents pertaining to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who was friends with Donald Trump before the latter man won two presidencies.

Greene’s appearance on Maher’s show perhaps made evident the ideological distance between the congresswoman – who has conspicuously avoided directly criticizing Trump himself – and some of her newer, cross-aisle admirers.

Trump’s off-the-cuff disclosure that he underwent an MRI scan is raising fresh questions about the secrecy surrounding Trump’s health and the need for presidents to be more transparent.

Trump is the oldest person to be elected president, and his aides and allies have long projected him as the picture of strength and vitality.

Outside physicians initially raised questions after Trump visited Walter Reed Military Medical Center earlier this month for what the White House described as a routine follow-up visit, though it was his second visit in six months.

Ti presentiamo la nuovissima Affinity, un'app di progettazione professionale completamente ripensata che combina strumenti di fotoritocco, progettazione vettoriale e impaginazione in un'unica piattaforma veloce e reattiva, ora completamente gratuita per tutti.

Quando Affinity è entrata a far parte della famiglia Canva lo scorso anno, abbiamo promesso di preservarne la potenza ampliandone al contempo le possibilità. Oggi quella visione diventa realtà con la nuovissima Affinity: un'app creativa di livello professionale che riunisce strumenti vettoriali, fotografici e di layout in un'unica piattaforma ad alte prestazioni. Completa di tutte le funzionalità. Veloce come un fulmine. E completamente gratuita.

Per troppo tempo, i designer professionisti non hanno avuto quasi nessuna scelta sugli strumenti da utilizzare, da software pesanti che li rallentavano, ad abbonamenti che si accumulavano e flussi di lavoro che interrompevano la creatività. In tutta la comunità creativa abbiamo sentito le stesse frustrazioni: una richiesta di velocità, potenza e libertà. I designer hanno chiesto gli strumenti che amano, quindi li abbiamo ascoltati e abbiamo creato qualcosa di meglio.

Steam on Linux use has hit an all-time high! With the Steam Survey results for October 2025 coming out this evening, Steam on Linux has finally cracked the 3% threshold! A few months back Steam on Linux was close to 3% before stumbling a bit but now it's above that elusive threshold. The only time Steam on Linux use was close to the 3% mark was when Steam on Linux initially debuted a decade ago and at that time the overall Steam user-base was much smaller than it is today. Long story short, thanks to the ongoing success of Valve's Steam Deck and other handhelds plus Steam Play (Proton) working out so well, these October numbers are the best yet.
