It’s togetherness Addams style, and Pubert just keeps gurgling happily. In the main story line, love comes to Gomez’s doorknobheaded brother, Fester (Christopher Lloyd), in the sumptuous shape of Debbie Jelinsky (Joan Cusack), a nanny who’s really a notorious husband-killer. The virginal Fester falls doorknob-over-heels, they marry and set off in their car, to which the celebrants have merrily tied a corpse. The chief conjugal event of the honeymoon is attempted spousicide, and events escalate to a showdown between Debbie and the Addams clan....

The American Medical Association, American Hospital Association and American Nurses Association told the president in a letter that sharing information on therapeutics and supplies necessary for testing and responding to the health crisis is needed to “save countless lives.” Trump and his campaign team are still disputing the results of the election. The president has yet to concede, and his stonewalling of the transition has raised concerns that the president-elect’s team could be unprepared after he is inaugurated on January 20, a problem that could amplify the pandemic’s dangers....

Trump faced harsh scrutiny from both Democrats and Republicans after the January 6 insurrection for encouraging the behavior by pushing the message that the election was stolen from him. The House of Representatives passed a resolution urging former Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment, which would remove Trump from office and make him the interim president until President Joe Biden’s inauguration. It wasn’t just members of Congress that urged the cabinet to take drastic action against Trump....

According to the poll created by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, the increased prices across the economy have many Americans change how much they spend and what they spend it on as higher prices are seen everywhere. One-third of Americans say they have changed how much they drive because gas prices increased nearly 50 percent since last year. Another 33 percent of people said they’re buying less meat than they traditionally do because the prices have increased by 15 percent, according to the poll....

For the third year in a row, the percentage of companies offering high-deductible health plans as the sole option will decline in 2020, according to a survey of large employers by the National Business Group on Health, Kaiser Health News reports. As premiums continue to soar, companies have largely adopted plans with high deductibles to pad their bottom lines, leaving employees on the hook for most health expenses until they pay that annual cost....

“Surgical masks are critical pieces of personal protective equipment for our nation’s medical community on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic response,” a statement from the DoD said. Further outlining details of the contract, awarded to Crosstex International, Inc., it said the investment would be used to procure further machinery to boost mask production by an additional 100 million surgical units each year, describing the contract as a move to “increase domestic production of surgical masks....

Although the survey was conducted in September, it was released in the aftermath of the controversial issues between the NBA and China. The controversy began when Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey tweeted “Fight for Freedom, Stand with Hong Kong,” showing his support of the pro-democracy protests occurring in Hong Kong. Although the tweet was quickly deleted, it caused a firestorm of controversy from China, as well as people across the U....

At the time, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was strong at home, as its power and prestige were growing abroad. Hong Kong was prosperous and quiescent. The “rebellious province of Taiwan” was ruled by President Ma Ying-Jeou, a politician favoring eventual unification with mainland China. The U.S. “pivot” toward Asia under President Barack Obama was long on rhetoric and short on military power to back it up. And China’s illegal military base-building in the South China Sea was largely complete and unchallenged....

Planned Parenthood called her possible appointment to the high court an insult to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s legacy of fighting against gender discrimination. The National Organization for Women has said that Barrett, if confirmed, will “turn back the clock on equality.” Emily’s List, the political action committee that aims to elect Democratic female candidates in favor of abortion rights, echoed the view that Barrett’s nomination is a threat to women’s rights....

The Democratic presidential candidate said she doesn’t support abolishing U.S Immigration and Customs and Enforcement (ICE), but instead wants to “reform” the agency. Trump claimed at a rally in Colorado Springs on Thursday that Colorado had become a “sanctuary state” and that Democratic leaders in the state “think Colorado should be a haven for murderers, kidnappers and felons that come into our country illegally.” Asked if the Democratic leaders who want to abolish ICE are going “too far,” Senator Klobuchar told Next 9 News, “I don’t agree with abolishing ICE....

Cheney, the chair of the House Republican Conference, was one of the 10 Republicans to vote with Democrats to impeach Trump after he allegedly incited his supporters to attack the U.S. Capitol on January 6 in a bid to overturn the 2020 presidential election results. Since then, the Wyoming lawmaker has repeatedly condemned Trump in public comments, drawing the ire of the former president and his many loyal GOP supporters....

So it wasn’t easy for him to relax on the night after the Million Man March. It should have been a moment of triumph. At 62, he had just chanted his lyrics to the largest black audience ever assembled in America. Even critics had conceded that the event–if not his rambling speech–was a success. For dinner, he had invited political allies and lieutenants to join his family in the presidential suite of Washington’s Vista Hotel....

These days, Lois Snow has a far different relationship with the Chinese government. At 79, she is one of Beijing’s most vocal critics. Snow’s views on China took a U-turn on June 4, 1989, she says, when the People’s Liberation Army turned its guns on unarmed student protesters in Tiananmen Square. Snow calls Li Peng and other Chinese leaders who sent in the troops “arrogant people who should bear the consequences of their violence....

The fire in Kanungu, deep in the impoverished rural highlands of southwest Uganda, was the latest horror to blight a region that has seen countless tragedies in recent years. At last count, 530 members of the Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God died in the fire, which at first glance appeared to have been set by members of the apocalyptic cult in an act of mass suicide....

Green’s parents had divorced when he was 4; his parents drank, and he drifted from home to home. But he was anxious to better himself, acquaintances say. And the Army seemed to offer everything Green lacked: money, friends, a place to stay, possibly even fame. Boot camp, Green later told friends, was great. He bragged about being a part of the world’s most powerful military, and he was excited to get to Iraq....

But today he’s nervous. This “show” is “Brice Marden: A Retrospective of Paintings and Drawings”–in the august Mu-seum of Modern Art, where it will be on view Oct. 29 through Jan. 15. True, he’s long been represented by such top-o’-the-heap galleries as Pace, Mary Boone and Matthew Marks, and a drawing of his once fetched half a million dollars at auction. But he’s never seen many of these 56 canvases and 50 drawings together before....

As Fox’s bid for a stake in the animated market, ““Anastasia’’ has clearly borrowed elements of the Disney formula, like toy-friendly comic sidekicks. If you ignore the historical mangling (another Disney influence), there’s fun to be had. Hank Azaria is hilariously deadpan as the voice of Rasputin’s bat. Meg Ryan lends her trademark feistiness to Anastasia, and John Cusack makes Dimitri eminently likable as a sheepish hustler who redeems himself in love....

Goals from Thiago Alcantara and Mats Hummels helped Bayern to a 2-1 win over Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga on Saturday. It ended a run of three games without a win for Bayern, who sit three points behind league leaders RB Leipzig. Bayern’s next clash is a trip to Mainz on Friday and Ancelotti is happy to have more time to work with his team. “Before this game, what we are trying to do is not natural in this moment....

The finding sheds light on the history of freshwater fish in North America in the Late Cretaceous period, which is poorly represented in the fossil record. It also indicates that the massive effects from the Chicxulub asteroid, which hit off the Yucatan coast in southeastern Mexico, were felt as far away as North Dakota. The Hell Creek Formation is a rock formation that covers parts of North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana and Wyoming that is known for holding many fossils from the Cretaceous period, which lasted from 145....

But Pyongyang may also get access to controversial bank accounts. Meeting in Beijing three weeks ago, North Korean and U.S. Treasury officials held detailed talks about 52 bank accounts in Macau’s Banco Delta Asia that the Macau government froze after Washington in 2005 accused the bank of money laundering. The 52 accounts, containing about $24 million, were frozen on suspicion that North Korea was using them for illicit purposes. Washington is still threatening to issue an order curbing U....
