Washington (AFP) - US President Joe Biden took aim Wednesday at Donald Trump, joking that when his rival famously remarked about injecting bleach to tackle Covid it instead went in his much-discussed hair. "Remember when he was trying to deal with Covid... He suggested just inject a little bleach in your veins," Biden said at a construction workers event in Washington. "He missed, it all went to his hair!" the Democrat quipped, eliciting a burst of laughter among the audience at North America's Building Trade Union, which has endorsed the 81-year-old in this year's election. Biden made a simi...

Washington (AFP) - Republican Mike Johnson came out of nowhere six months ago to become speaker of the US House of Representatives, before emerging as an ardent defender of military aid to Ukraine, which the chamber approved Saturday. The evolution of this 52-year-old Southerner with carefully coiffed hair has been stunning. An arch-conservative Christian from Louisiana, he shot to the top leadership position in the House in October after the unprecedented ouster of then-speaker Kevin McCarthy in a rebellion by far-right lawmakers allied with Donald Trump. After several candidates were propose...

Washington (AFP) - The US House of Representatives approved a bill Saturday that would force the wildly popular social media app TikTok to divest from its Chinese parent company ByteDance or be shut out of the American market.

These critics also say TikTok is subservient to Beijing and a conduit to spread propaganda. China and the company deny these claims. The bill, which could trigger the rare step of...

Washington (AFP) - The US House of Representatives will again vote Saturday on a bill that would force TikTok to divest from Chinese parent company ByteDance or face a nationwide ban. The measure has been written into a massive $61 billion aid bill for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, which could ease its passage in both chambers of the US Congress. Under the bill, ByteDance would have to sell the app within a few months or be excluded from Apple and Google's app stores in the United States. It would also give the US president the authority to designate other applications as a threat to national se...

Washington (AFP) - Adult film star Stormy Daniels, whose alleged tryst with Donald Trump is at the heart of his first criminal trial, has faced off for years against the former president in courtrooms -- and the court of public opinion. After years of making pornographic films, Daniels became a household name in 2018 when she went public with allegations that she had slept with Trump over a decade earlier. Since then she has faced an onslaught of name-calling, including from Trump himself, which she has made a point of returning blow-for-blow, with a smile on her face. A recent documentary has...

Gathered in the small Pennsylvania town of Schnecksville, his impassioned backers said Saturday they believe Trump will come out of the proceedings stronger than ever. The crowd, braving a chilly wind and some light rain, started gathering Saturday morning to hear the former president speak at night as he campaign once again for t...
