The latest incident marks the first major strike against the Illinois-based company in 35 years. Why Have John Deere Workers Gone on Strike? Over 10,000 John Deere workers walked off the job at midnight on October 14 after the company “failed to present an agreement that met our members’ demands and needs,” the UAW said in a statement on Thursday. Chuck Browning, vice president and director of the UAW’s Agricultural Implement Department, said in the statement: “Our members at John Deere strike for the ability to earn a decent living, retire with dignity and establish fair work rules....
In a statement, Estée Lauder said Demsey was ousted because his posts “caused widespread offense, are damaging to our efforts to drive inclusivity both inside and outside our walls, and do not reflect the judgment we expect of our leaders.” Demsey is the latest in a series of prominent people who have received public backlash for racist comments and posts, especially since the Black Lives Matter movement reignited on a large scale in 2020....

In the footage, John Haubert is shown allegedly striking the man with a pistol until his head was bloodied and swollen. Haubert is facing charges of attempted first-degree assault, second-degree assault, felony menacing, official oppression and first-degree official misconduct.

Soon after the two fled, Haubert allegedly wrestled Vinson to the ground, striking him until Vinson yelled, “You’re killing me....
Rivera said he sought out Madden during a trip to California this offseason. The two met over coffee and Rivera said Madden, who had studied film on the Panthers before the meeting, "was a little concerned about us giving the ball a little too much to the quarterback." Rivera has taken the advice to heart. Newton is on pace to carry the ball 110 times for 502 yards, down from an average of 128 carries for 724 yards in his first two NFL seasons....
Judge’s blast put him alone atop the American League’s single-season home run leaderboard. He had previously been tied with Roger Maris atop the all-time list, and some wondered whether he would get there as the season wound down. Ultimately, he did by blasting a solo home run to lead off the second game of the Yankees-Rangers doubleheader on Tuesday. Judge’s chase for 62 homers took quite a while to complete....
Last season wasn’t Terry’s best by any stretch of the imagination. He was plagued by injuries and didn’t look anywhere near his impressive self whenever he did get a game. Many expected him to be a bit-part player this season under Mourinho. However, the Englishman has shaken off his injury woes and while he obviously isn’t the defender he once was, he is still good enough to play at Chelsea on a regular basis and has been one of the Premier League’s best defenders this season....
Gillis also shipped out goalie Cory Schneider to the Devils, committing (by default) to Roberto Luongo as the team’s starting netminder. A season later, all of those key figures are gone. Luongo was moved at the trade deadline to Florida. Gillis was fired at the end of the season, with former captain Trevor Linden brought in as president of hockey operations. And last, but not least, Tortorella was fired on Thursday along with assistant coach Mike Sullivan....
The John Wick franchise has been making its presence felt in gaming for the last few years now, most prominently through John Wick-themed skins in Fortnite, but this will mark the first time fans of Keanu Reeves’ professional assassin will be able to dive into his world directly. But it won’t be as they Jmight expect. While one could easily assume a John Wick game would be a fast-paced shooter, what they’re actually getting is a turn-based strategy game more akin to something like XCOM....
As Biden laid out a sweeping plan to halt the spread of infection and slow the grim rise of America’s death toll, which passed 200,000 in September, the trends were going in the right direction and the virus plateaued. The plan’s urgency looked lesser and lesser. America had all but reopened and life was starting to return to normal for many people. But in Europe, a second wave was unfolding and brought with it an ominous warning of what may be coming down the line for the U....
“The overarching objective here is for the president to lay out the next steps to build on the steps we’ve taken since he took office,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters Thursday. She noted that millions of Americans remain unvaccinated, even though they are eligible for the free shots. “We want to reduce that number, decrease hospitalizations and deaths and allow our children to go to school safely, and of course keep our economy strong,” Psaki said....
Biden spoke at Long Beach during Newsom’s final campaign event before the recall election on Tuesday, when the Democratic governor hopes to remain in office and see off a challenge from his main Republican rival, Larry Elder. The president compared Elder, a conservative radio host, to Trump and argued that California should not elect a candidate who he said: “Will block progress on COVID-19.” “All of you know that last year I got to run against the real Donald Trump,” Biden said....
A group of Republican senators is pushing to cut the size of the next round of COVID-19 relief checks and significantly limit who’s eligible to receive the payments, as the Biden administration continues to indicate that it would be open to further restricting who’s eligible for survival checks. Last month, President Joe Biden promised that $2,000 checks would “go out the door immediately” if Democrats managed to win the two Georgia senate runoff races and claim control of the Senate....
The findings of the survey by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Research shows that Biden is enjoying support across party lines over his tackling of the pandemic, with 70 percent of Americans backing his response, including 44 percent of Republicans. Biden has pledged to make tackling the pandemic a focus of his presidency by urging social distancing, mask guidelines and a commitment to speeding up vaccine distribution. He is also hoping to get Congress to approve his $1....
Biden expressed support for student debt forgiveness on the campaign trail in 2020 and after becoming president-elect, but his administration has yet to act despite being urged to do so by some Democrats. Polling suggests that younger Americans are more in favor of debt cancelation—and Biden won voters aged between 18 and 49 by wide margins in the 2020 election. Millennials (aged 25 to 40) and Generation Z (which includes children as well as adults aged 18 to 24)—many of whom have student loan debt—are rapidly becoming the largest voting bloc when taken together....
Data suggests followers and likes on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram grew significantly over the last week, ahead of Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris being sworn into office on January 20 outside the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. Between January 11 and January 18, the incoming U.S. commander-in-chief’s personal Twitter account attracted more than 833,000 followers, while his Instagram page picked up over 288,000, according to statistics by analytics firm Social Blade....
“This has been the most corrupt administration in modern American history,” Biden said while on the campaign trail in North Carolina on Wednesday. “The Justice Department has turned into the president’s private law firm.” The former vice president noted that the agency has sought to take over Trump’s defense in a defamation lawsuit from writer E. Jean Carroll who accused him of rape—a charge Trump has denied. Earlier this month, lawyers for the Justice Department filed court papers aiming to substitute the United States for Trump, which means that the federal government would have to pay damages if any are awarded....
“I would rather him not get engaged,” Biden told The New York Times when asked if he was disappointed Obama didn’t defend him on the issue of busing that drew attention last month. “I want to win this fair and square.” During the first round of Democratic debates inJune, Biden came under fire for his past voting record on busing and civil rights. Senator Kamala Harris slammed the former vice president for touting his ability to work with segregationist senators to oppose busing for black students....
The bipartisan and bicameral Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act passed the House by unanimous voice vote late on Tuesday. Introduced to the lower chamber by Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA), it is a compromise version of the bill authored by Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Jeff Merkley (D-OR) last year. The law places the burden of proof on American companies to demonstrate that imported goods were not mined, produced or manufactured wholly or in part with forced labor....
