Miley Cyrus Opens Up About Vocal Health Struggles

In an Apple Music interview, Miley Cyrus revealed she has Reinke’s edema and a vocal cord polyp,

conditions that have permanently deepened her voice.

Singing now feels like “running a marathon with ankle weights,” she said.

Despite the strain, Cyrus credits the challenges for shaping her raspy, signature style.

She has chosen to avoid surgery, explaining that she doesn’t want to lose the unique sound that defines her music.

The revelation comes after a career high—winning a 2024 Grammy for “Flowers.”

Yet behind the scenes, she has faced intense physical and emotional demands.

Cyrus confirmed she stepped back from touring, preferring more intimate shows that prioritize her well-being.

In a reflective post, she stressed the importance of “choosing health over visibility.”

Her honesty has sparked admiration from fans, highlighting a larger conversation about artistic authenticity and the pressure performers face.

Social Media Reacts to Elevator Domestic Violence Awareness Video

A viral elevator video showing an act of domestic violence has reignited global discussions about abuse, safety, and community responsibility.

Advocates stress that while such footage shocks audiences, it should be used to raise awareness—not for sensationalism.

Domestic violence affects 1 in 3 women worldwide, according to the World Health Organization.

It goes beyond physical harm, often involving emotional and financial abuse that traps victims.

Experts say viral clips can educate people on warning signs and direct survivors to resources like the National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-SAFE in the U.S.).

They also highlight systemic barriers—limited shelters, financial dependence, and fear of retaliation—that make leaving difficult.

Communities play a role too: supporting survivors, promoting prevention programs, and fostering zero tolerance for abuse.

The video is more than a disturbing clip—it’s a reminder that intervention, education, and compassion can save lives.

Trump Unveils New Tax Proposal

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced President Donald Trump’s latest tax plan,

which aims to give “significant relief to middle-class Americans” by eliminating federal taxes on tips,

Social Security benefits, and overtime pay.

The proposal also seeks to close the carried interest loophole

, extend the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and lower the corporate tax rate to 15%.

Supporters vs. Critics

Republicans argue the plan will boost workers and businesses.

Senator Josh Hawley said, “This is about making sure the American worker gets a fair deal.”

But Democrats sharply oppose it. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries warned,

“This is just another attempt to funnel money into the pockets of billionaires while leaving working families behind.”

Economic Concerns

Critics caution that steep tax cuts could balloon the deficit.

Senator Rand Paul noted, “We can’t just keep cutting taxes without reducing spending.”

What’s Next

The proposal now heads to Congress, where a fierce partisan battle is expected ahead of the 2026 midterms.

For many years, I lived under the shadow of heartbreak and confusion.

The sudden disappearance of Lisa left a hole in my life that never truly healed.

Despite a police investigation, there were no meaningful leads.

Her phone went dark, her bank accounts remained untouched, and it felt as though she had vanished without a trace.

Eventually, the authorities told me she was likely gone forever.

While those words were meant to bring closure, they only deepened the mystery and pain.

Friends and family encouraged me to move on, but a part of me resisted the idea of giving up entirely. Something in me held on, even when reason said otherwise.

Despite the emotional toll, life had to continue.

I became both father and mother to our son, Noah, who was just a child at the time.

Sleepless nights, early mornings, and demanding work schedules became routine.

Every day was a challenge, but Noah gave me purpose when everything else felt uncertain.

Raising him alone wasn’t easy. The emotional weight of Lisa’s absence never fully lifted,

but I did everything I could to shield Noah from the sadness.

I wanted him to feel safe, loved, and supported, even if I couldn’t give him all the answers he deserved.

In many ways, he helped me stay grounded.

Years passed, and the search for answers faded into the background.

My focus shifted completely to Noah and building a life that gave him security and joy. Over time, I learned to live without closure, prioritizing the future over the questions of the past.

Now fifteen, Noah has grown into a remarkable young man—tall, intelligent, and kind, with a smile that reminds me of Lisa. He is my greatest achievement, and the reason I never gave up.

Why You Get Pimples on Your Chin

It’s a sad fact that some people can be wary of animals that don’t look how they expect them to.

Ace the cat had a tough start in life; as a kitten he found himself homeless and having to fend for himself on the street.

Thankfully, he was rescued and then adopted by a loving family, but an infection meant he lost an eye.

His owners say his unusual appearance does mean some kids are frightened of him and a home security camera was installed to keep tabs on the furry feline.

What the camera did capture was a boy who visited Ace every day and what he did was thankfully caught on camera.

Ace’s owner Norma Maikovich says that the little cat is misunderstood by some of the people he encounters.

“He can sometimes seem scary, especially to children,” Norma Maikovich, Ace’s owner, told The Dodo.  “People are often hesitant to greet him.”

But clearly this isn’t the case for everyone who meets this adorable cat.

Ace absolutely loves to spend the days lying in his owner’s driveway so to keep an eye on him, Norma put up a security camera.

What she saw one day warmed her heart.

A boy was captured on camera visiting the cat every day, undeterred by his appearance, and sits with him, petting and playing with him.

In a video you can see how the boy and Ace cuddle and play with each other. It’s obvious that Ace adores his mate.

‘It’s awesome, this bond they share’

The cat’s true personality comes out as she’s so gentle with her friend and the boy seems so happy to see her and play with her.

“It melted our hearts, not just seeing how much Ace loves this boy, but how familiar they were to each other!” Norma told The Dodo. “Sitting by the front door, as soon as Ace sees his friend, he rushes out to greet him. It’s awesome, this bond they share.”

See the adorable encounter in the clip below.

Today, Ace’s friend no longer needs to sneak into the driveway to play with him; Norma has told the boy he is welcome any time.

“A friend of Ace’s is a friend of ours,” she said. “Once we realized that they were fast friends, it made us really happy.”

I could watch these two play and cuddle all day, it’s so wonderful to see the beautiful nature of both of these friends.

When hitting the beach, some moms like to be on the modest side.

After all, if you’re running around with your kids, you might want to wear something you know will stay put and not reveal more than you’d like.

Then, there’s also the body image issue where some moms may not have shrunk back to their pre-baby size and may not want to reveal too much for that reason.

Other moms are apparently okay with letting it all hang out.

One of those moms is Australian influencer and fitness model Tammy Hembrow. She has over 15 million followers on Instagram and over 1 million subscribers on YouTube. She also has three children and two companies. She simply does it all.

For many viewers, this bikini took minimalist too far.

Three people have been shot at a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) detention facility in Dallas, Texas.

It has been reported that the gunman, who has not yet been named, is dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

It has also been reported that one victim has died at the scene, says NBC News. No ICE agents have been shot or injured.

Police responded to the scene around 6:40am local time.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has spoken out on the ordeal and said that a motive for the attack is yet to be determined.

She tweeted: “There was a shooting this morning at the Dallas @ICEgov Field Office. Details are still emerging but we can confirm there were multiple injuries and fatalities.

“The shooter is deceased by a self-inflicted gun shot wound. While we don’t know motive yet, we know that our ICE law enforcement is facing unprecedented violence against them. It must stop.

Noem added: “Please pray for the victims and their families.”

JD Vance has also reacted to the news and said that the ‘obsessive attack on law enforcement’, ICE in particular, ‘must stop’.

“I’m praying for everyone hurt in this attack and for their families,” the vice president went on.

Acting ICE director Todd Lyons has said that the shooter was a ‘possible sniper’ as the they allegedly shot from an elevated position and from ‘an adjacent building’, as per the Dallas Police Department.

The facility the incident took place is used to process detainees before they’re transferred to a detention center, says CNN. Typically it holds a couple of dozen people at a time, a former senior ICE official told the news outlet.

People who were being detained at the facility at the time of the shooting are reportedly among the victims.
