“Today Defense Secretary Mark Esper notified me that the Department of Defense will reprogram $3.6 billion in funds appropriated for military construction projects, including at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, in order to build @realDonaldTrump ’s misguided border wall,” Schumer said in a tweet on Tuesday. “It is a slap in the face to the members of the Armed Forces who serve our country that @realDonaldTrump is willing to cannibalize already allocated military funding to boost his own ego, and for a wall he promised Mexico would pay to build,” he said....

The late-morning tweet, first posted by a Twitter account apparently impersonating the conservative news feed “The Reagan Battalion,” included a photo of a young Trump shaking hands with the 40th president. Over the photo is the falsified quote, attributed to Reagan. “For the life of me, and I’ll never know how to explain it, when I met that young man, I felt like I was the one shaking hands with a president,” it reads....

“I would really say it is a European problem,” Trump told conservative radio host Glenn Beck in a Friday morning interview. “Europe should be totally involved,” Trump said after Beck asked if the U.S. should be involved in arming Ukrainians or engaging in other actions amid the rising tensions in the eastern European region. Trump said that Germany made a bad energy deal with Russia in agreeing to send Russian gas to Germany through the Nord Stream 2 pipeline....

The 17-year-old has established himself as Milan’s first-choice goalkeeper, and has been linked to a number of clubs, with his agent Mino Raiola claiming he is worth €170M. However, while Donnarumma acknowledged the rumors, he currently only has eyes for San Siro, where he is enjoying his football. “Raiola said that I am worth €170M – I always hear his statements,” Donnarumma told Rai Sport. “These figures do not make me dizzy....

After getting out to a red-hot 26-9 start to the season, Utah regressed, going 23-24 over its last 47 games to finish with a 49-33 record for the season and the West’s fifth seed. Among the lowest points of the Jazz’s season was a blown 25-point lead to the Clippers which drew the ire of Mitchell, who had this to say: “This is the same s— … this is literally the same thing as last year,” referring to their playoff shortcoming in 2021....

To her doctors’ surprise, the culprit wasn’t COVID-19, although she did experience respiratory symptoms and a cytokine storm. Lamkin was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disorder called dermatomyositis. According to her care team, her outcome could have been much worse if it weren’t for her pre-illness fitness level. “We don’t know what life may bring, but it’s been expressed to me numerous times by my medical team that my physical state going into this played a major role in saving my life,” Lamkin tells Verywell....

The train was carrying some 490 people when it derailed in the tunnel close to the eastern city of Hualien. The train is believed to have hit a crane truck that slid onto the track while working on a nearby hillside, according to the Central News Agency. The collision derailed the train, causing some carriages to hit the wall of the tunnel at high speed.

Long-billed corellas—which made up the majority of the animals discovered—are a protected species in the state of South Australia where Adelaide is located.

Now, an animal shelter is calling for help after it took the cats in, saving them from immediate euthanization. Furkids Animal Rescue and Shelters, Atlanta’s largest no-kill animal shelter, shared the call for help to Facebook yesterday, October 4, along with pictures of the environment the cats were traveling in. “They were packed into carriers, some four and five to a carrier, and then packed like boxes or furniture in the back of a U-Haul truck,” Furkids CEO and founder Samantha Shelton told Newsweek....

At least 1.6 million people in the world have been infected with the virus, including 10,450 people in South Korea. Of those patients, about 51 tested positive for the virus after having been classified as cured, raising concerns about the possibility of reinfection. Officials are putting “more weight” in reactivation being the cause of the positive tests, according to Jeong Eun-kyeong, director-general of the Korean Centers for Disease Control and Prevention....

Now Fauci is drawing a line on vaccines. A presidential edict to force the Food and Drug Administration, already criticized as politically compliant, to approve a COVID-19 vaccine before election day “will be blown out of the water publicly by the people who understand what it takes to declare a vaccine safe and effective,” says Fauci. “It would be a public embarrassment.” Newsweek spoke with Fauci Friday about political pressure to release a vaccine, the latest data on the Moderna vaccine that the U....

Those who have decided—for a variety of reasons—not to take the vaccine have experienced recent events as pure psychological warfare. Immediately after announcing the mandate, the government and its advisers started to present their ideas of how to enforce it. Minister of Constitutional Affairs Karoline Edtstadler announced that anyone who refuses the vaccine would be fined up to 14,400 Euros a year—enough to ruin an average family. The result was a wave of protest—around 100,000 people took to the streets in Vienna over the last few weeks—and these demonstrations seem to have had some effect....
