Brisbane, Australia    In one camp is a tech billionaire with more than 181 million followers on his own social network. In the other, political leaders representing a country of just 26 million people. Insults have been hurled for days by both sides in an increasingly bare-knuckled fight between X owner Elon Musk and the Australian government that’s playing out both online and in the Federal Court. At issue is the right of X to publish a video showing the moment a 16-year-old allegedly stabbed a bishop in an Orthodox Christian Church in Sydney earlier this month. Australian authorities say…

The Senate on Tuesday evening passed a $95 billion foreign aid package, sending to President Joe Biden’s desk the critical legislation that will restart the flow of military supplies to Ukraine in its ongoing fight against Russian invasion and to Israel in its war with Hamas.Unlike in the House, where the bill was the subject of GOP in-fighting that nearly scuttled it entirely, passage went relatively smoothly in the upper chamber. A bipartisan coalition approved it by a 79-18 margin – a foregone conclusion after it passed the 60-vote threshold to open debate on Tuesday. A procedural vote to waive…

When you get a new job, you might be one of the 30 million Americans who also signed a noncompete agreement. A noncompete agreement stops you from going to work for a competitor or from starting up a competing business of your own, typically within a geographic zone and a set period of time after you leave a job. You may not realize the consequences of what you signed until you try to leave for a new job. In January 2023, the Federal Trade Commission proposed a comprehensive noncompete ban and opened their proposal to public comment. Thousands of responses…

I leaned against the department store counter, waiting for my mother to finish shopping, my gangly legs outstretched in that particularly teenage way. In the blink of an eye, she turned and then suddenly flew into the nearby underwear display, which was tiered like a wedding cake. Only after scores of lace garments rained down upon us did I realize what happened: I had tripped her. A mixture of embarrassment, laughter, and frustration emanated from my poor mom, still prone as she said: “You and those big feet.”Puppies grow into their paws. For years growing up, my shoe size was…

London    European Union officials have raided the offices of a Chinese company as part of a probe into subsidies, exposing rising tensions between the bloc and one of its biggest trading partners. The European Commission said Tuesday that it carried out “unannounced inspections” at the premises of a company making and selling security equipment in Europe, which it suspects may have benefited unduly from state subsidies. It did not name the company. “The commission has indications that the inspected company may have received foreign subsidies that could distort the (EU’s) internal market,” the EU’s executive body said in a…
