In case you live under a rock and didn’t know, the Super Bowl took place yesterday. Hopefully, none of you lost any money on the game.

Tensions are continuing to rise between the US and Iran, leading many to wonder what the next steps are. Read more about the situation and how your friends and family might be affected below.

If you take prescription drugs, you might be able to save up to 80% of what you are paying now. Last week, President Trump launched a direct-to-consumer website called TrumpRx in an attempt to lower the cost of prescription drugs in the United States.

The U.S. audience is expected to be around 56 million, with the highest numbers centering on marquee events such as figure skating (48% of viewers) and NHL-featured ice hockey (34% of viewers).

Kamala Harris is looking to motivate America’s youth vote. Former Vice President Kamala Harris’ social media account, “KamalaHQ,” went dark after she lost her 2024 presidential bid, but now, she’s back. A relaunch called “headquarters_67” is up and running on X and TikTok. It’s part of her new organization's mission to mobilize young voters leading up to the midterm elections in November.
