Stargazers will have a rare chance to see a green streak crossing the sky Tuesday night, Newsweek reports. First discovered in late 2017, the speedy chunk of ice and rock known formally as PanSTARRS C/2017 S3 is making its rounds again, but in a slightly different way this time.

Small business owners are feeling more optimistic than ever.

A Wells Fargo/Gallup Small Business Index poll published Tuesday found that small business owners are more optimistic than ever before in the 15-year history of the survey. Those polled say they are feeling good about their current financial situation, cash flow, and future business outlook.

LeBron James is already fitting right in to the Los Angeles entertainment scene.

President Trump used to call House Speaker Paul Ryan a "Boy Scout."

The Ayn Rand-reading, spin class-loving Wisconsin Republican thought it was a compliment. It took him a while to realize it wasn't.

That's one of the many things Ryan didn't quite get about Trump at first. He also didn't understand how the president was elected. But these misunderstandings haven't stopped him from quietly influencing the president every day, Ryan told The New York Times Magazine.

From the day Trump was elected... Читать дальше...

Oil prices edged higher early Tuesday after President Trump signed an executive order reimposing sanctions on Iran, which could tighten supply. Iran exported about three million barrels of oil per day in July. Trump said the sanctions would exert "maximum economic pressure" on Tehran three months after he pulled the U.S. out of the Iran nuclear deal. Trump said the 2015 agreement requiring Iran to curb its nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of sanctions was a "horrible, one-sided... Читать дальше...

President Trump signed an executive order Monday reimposing Iran sanctions to exert "maximum economic pressure" on Tehran three months after he pulled the U.S. out of the Iran nuclear deal. Trump said in a statement that the 2015 agreement requiring Iran to curb its nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of sanctions was a "horrible, one-sided deal." He urged other nations to take steps to show Iran it must "change its threatening, destabilizing behavior and reintegrate with the global economy... Читать дальше...

On Tuesday, voters in Ohio's 12th congressional district will send either Republican Troy Balderson or Democrat Danny O'Connor to Congress in a special election, while Kansas, Michigan, Washington, and Missouri hold primaries. Ohio's 12th district has been in Republican hands for decades, most recently Rep. Pat Tiberi (R), but polls show a tight race. Tuesday's winner will have to run again for a full term in November.

Rudy Giuliani told The Washington Post on Monday that he and President Trump's other lawyers are drafting a letter to send to Special Counsel Robert Mueller "sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday" asserting that Trump will not answer Mueller's questions about possible obstruction of justice. "We have a real reluctance about allowing any questions about obstruction," Giuliani said. That doesn't mean Trump won't sit down with Mueller, he added. "The president still hasn't made a decision, and we're not... Читать дальше...

In May, President Trump unilaterally pulled the U.S. out of a 2015 nuclear deal negotiated with Iran and a handful of world powers. On Monday, Trump followed through with his threat to reimpose sanctions lifted under the deal, despite strident protest from European allies. He defended his actions in a tweet early Tuesday and not-so-subtly warned Europe that it had better follow his lead.

Can you believe that tariffs imposed on the importation of foreign steel and aluminum are forcing some American companies to purchase those metals here instead of from suppliers based abroad? I mean, good gracious. It's almost like a policy designed to bring about X is making X happen.

What if Republicans have an epic wipe-out in November's midterm elections?

Even in the beginning, MoviePass was too good to be true.

We asked, What's the catch? We joked that it would never last. But, delirious in our good fortune, we signed up — some three million of us by this June. And we went to the movies: Black Panther, Lady Bird, even movies we didn't really want to see, the one where The Rock fights a building or, if you were feeling brave, Gotti. Some of us ended up at the local arthouse cinema or rep theaters, where we could sink into the textures of 35mm film and the pop of the reel changes. Читать дальше...

The American economy may be booming. But not everyone is participating in the bonanza. And one of the groups increasingly left out of the party is America's retirees.

For most Americans, August means beaches, parks, and lots and lots of air conditioning. But for sports fans, it means only one thing: boredom. Football is a month away, soccer's early days are more exciting in the transfer market than on the field, and baseball's August daydreams are so dull that the sport co-opted the phrase "dog days of summer" to shorthand the doldrums.

To Americans who didn't vote for President Trump, life in Trumplandia can often feel like being a survivor in a zombie flick. It's as if we're hiding in a boarded-up house, clinging to one another, as the malevolently somnambulant hordes of MAGAs grumble and lurch toward us, bringing with them certain death and destruction. If, like me, you relate to this feeling, think of Rick Wilson as the bad-ass hombre who shows up in the middle of the second act, ready to teach us how to fight back.
