A weekend camping trip on Australia’s Central Coast was meant to be a break from routine — time with friends, fresh air, and shared food around a campsite.

She noted that their elder son, Dakota, “gets it more” than Carson.…

When President Donald Trump announced a new nominee for U.S. surgeon general last spring, the choice surprised both political insiders and public health experts. Dr. Casey Means is not a traditional government physician. She is a former surgical trainee turned wellness advocate — someone whose career has unfolded as much online and in tech startups as in hospitals. Now, after months of delay and growing debate, Means has appeared before the Senate, offering lawmakers a glimpse of how differently America’s top public health messenger could sound if she is confirmed. A nomination shaped by unexpected turns Trump revealed in May…

For an artist who has spent nearly two decades redefining pop success, even familiar victories can still feel personal. This week, Taylor Swift marked another career milestone as her single Opalite climbed to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
