Eleven People Missing In France After Fire In Holiday Home

If you grew up in the 1980s or ’90s, it’s very likely that you came of age with Lisa Frank-branded school supplies, party favors, stickers, beach towels, and all manner of rainbow-splashed products. The company, which at one point brought in an estimated $66 million, was immediately recognizable for its bright pops of color and cuddly, big-eyed animal characters, with fantastical illustrations featuring dolphins, unicorns, puppies, and kittens. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] But the storied brand has also seen its share of troubles, which are laid out in a new four-part docuseries, Glitter and Greed: The Lisa Frank Story, premiering on Prime on Dec.

At least 58 people in the U. S. have been infected by the H5N1 bird flu virus this year, according to federal statistics. All but two of them had been around cows or chickens, two species in which H5N1 is circulating widely. That’s reassuring to scientists because it suggests the virus is spreading primarily through close contact with infected animals, and not from person to person.

A manhunt is currently underway as the New York Police Department (NYPD) looks for the gunman who targeted and fatally shot UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on the morning of Wednesday, Dec. 4. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] Thompson, 50, was in city ahead of his company’s annual investor conference, which police say he was walking to alone when he was shot outside the New York Hilton Midtown hotel at around 6:45 a.m. New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said in a press conference on Wednesday that the “brazen, targeted attack” was “premeditated,” and the shooter seemed to be “lying in wait for several minutes” before approaching Thompson from behind and opening fire.

A coalition of Democratic legislators has announced plans to drop a political nuclear bomb the first week of Colorado’s legislative session, breaking an 81-year-old ceasefire between Colorado businesses and labor. This move is bad for Colorado’s economy and the battle it starts may quickly spiral out of control. Since 1943, Colorado has been a red state, purple state, and blue state, and during that time Colorado’s Labor Peace Act has held the middle ground, successfully governing workforce unionization in a harmonious way that may be the best such law in the country. On one end of the political spectrum are so-called right-to-work states that prohibit mandatory union membership and the payment of union dues as a condition of employment.

Kris Abrams-Draine’s first defensive snap of his NFL career was a doozy. First, the situation. The Broncos’ fifth-round draft pick got thrown into Monday night’s prime time rollercoaster against Cleveland with 2 minutes, 54 seconds left in place of struggling veteran Levi Wallace. The Browns were getting the ball back at their own 30 and trailing just 34-32.

Kash Patel wasn’t always a firebrand. Early in his career, as a federal prosecutor and national security lawyer at the Justice Department, Donald Trump’s current pick to head the FBI was thoughtful and level headed, according to a senior national security official who knew him during those years. It was only after Patel began digging into the FBI’s investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election that “it all changed,” the official says. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] Initially, Patel didn’t even want the job that would change his view of the nation’s storied law enforcement agency.
