The release of Trump's tax returns to House Democrats has been temporarily halted by Chief Justice Roberts.

 On Tuesday, Chief Justice John Roberts put a temporary halt to the ability of a congressional committee to acquire the tax documents of former President Donald Trump.


In contrast to other recent presidents, Trump has chosen not to make public his tax returns despite the intense scrutiny of his business dealings. As a result, he has turned to the Supreme Court for help after a federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., declined to weigh in on the issue of the release of the records. Recently, the Supreme Court has denied other motions filed by Trump that were very similar.


According to Trump's legal team, the statement made by the House Ways and Means Committee that it need the information to investigate how the Internal Revenue Service carries out the auditing process for presidents does not hold up under close examination.

Tim Ryan, a Democrat, has earned the support of Liz Cheney in the Ohio Senate election.

 Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyoming) endorsed Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan over Republican J.D. Vance in the Ohio Senate race on Tuesday, the latest indication of how far the former House Republican leadership member has distanced herself from the Trump-dominated side of her party. Cheney, a member of the House select committee investigating the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021, told journalist Judy Woodruff at a discussion on the state of the nation at Cleveland State University, "I would not vote for J.D.

It is the latest indication that Cheney, who voted to impeach former President Trump and was defeated in Wyoming's Republican primary in August by a candidate favoured by Trump, has fallen out of favour with Republicans who remain loyal to the former president. Former Trump critic Vance now describes him as "the best president of my lifetime." T...

Huge 'planet-killing' asteroid detected, and it's headed in our direction.

 According to astronomers, they have spotted the largest planet-killing asteroid in the past eight years, and the massive space rock will cross Earth's orbit. The 2022 AP7 asteroid was discovered by researchers searching for space pebbles between the orbits of Earth and Venus. Scott Sheppard and colleagues at the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington report in the Astronomical Journal that they have discovered three "quite huge" asteroids, one of which - 2022 AP7 – crosses Earth's orbit, making it a potentially hazardous asteroid (PHA). With a diameter between 1.1 km and 2.3 km, 2022 AP7 is the largest PHA detected since 2014 and likely within the top 5% largest ever discovered. "Any asteroid larger than 1 kilometre in diameter is regarded a planet-killer," said Sheppard, adding that if such an object were to strike the Earth, the impact would be catastrophic for life as we know it, with dust and toxins sent into the atmosphere, where they would rem...
