J.D. Vance looks annoyed. it's a tuesday afternoon in August, and we're sitting near the front of his campaign plane, flying from a rally in Michigan to a fundraiser in Tennessee. Across the aisle is his mother Bev, whose role in Vance's traumatic and disruptive childhood he chronicled in his best-selling memoir, Hillbilly Elegy. As flight attendants serve Chick-fil-A, Vance gripes about the ongoing controversy over his three-year-old comments complaining that the U.S.is being run by Democrats, corporate oligarchs, and childless cat ladies who don't really have a direct stake in the country's future. As with his boss, Vance's instincts are to punch back. I think it's a ridiculous thing to focus on, he says, instead of the underlying argument I was trying to make.
Since being tapped by Donald Trump, Vance has been mired in a series of controversies like this. Some have been silly political attacks, like the baseless fabrication, spread widely on social media, that he committed a sexual act with a piece of furniture. Some have been cringey, like his response to white supremacists' attacking his wife, the daughter of Indian immigrants. (Obviously, she's not a white person, he replied, but I just, I love Usha.) Some have been substantive; he's disparaged the millions of Americans who don't have children. And some have had consequences: Vance's willingness to spread the debunked claim-shot down by both local officials and the state's Republican governor-that Haitian migrants in an Ohio city are eating people's pets resulted in bomb threats and the harassment of legal immigrants by right-wing extremists. Surveys show public opinion of Vance has fallen since his debut as Trump's VP.

The New Apprentice - J.D. Vance's juggling act
J.D. Vance looks annoyed. it's a tuesday afternoon in August, and we're sitting near the front of his campaign plane, flying from a rally in Michigan to a fundraiser in Tennessee. Across the aisle is his mother Bev, whose role in Vance's traumatic and disruptive childhood he chronicled in his best-selling memoir, Hillbilly Elegy.

The Hunt for Life on a Moon of Jupiter Begins - Nearly half a billion miles from Earth, a world may be stirring.
Europa has fascinated astronomers and exobiologists at least since 1979, when the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft reconnoitered the moon and photographed an icy white surface shot through with cracks and fractures, suggesting a churning ocean disrupting the frozen crust. The later Galileo mission, which orbited Jupiter from 1995 to 2003, discovered that Jupiter's magnetic field is disrupted in the vicinity of Europa in a way consistent with a deep, electrically conductive liquid beneath the surface of the moon. The Juno mission, which has been orbiting Jupiter since 2016, has been studying Europa more closely still, documenting ice walls, scarps, and ridges, all pointing to a surface in constant motion. Astronomers now believe that Europa has an ice shell up to 15 miles thick, covering a global ocean up to 100 miles deep.
Why is going to the pharmacy so miserable these days? - If you've been to a pharmacy to pick up a prescription lately, you might have wanted to bang your head against the wall.
Chains and independent pharmacies alike are shortstaffed, leading to long lines. Customers are finding empty shelves and chaotic operations. Satisfaction with brick-andmortar pharmacies in the U.S. dropped 10 points in 2024 alone, a study by J.D. Power found.Running the businesses is getting harder too. Without a doubt, this is the worst it's ever been, says Enrique Reynoso, who has been a pharmacist since 1991 and owns Beacon Wellness Pharmacy, a small shop in upstate New York. Reynoso has tried to do everything he can to stay afloatputting drugs in smaller bottles to save costs, asking customers to pay by Venmo since creditcard fees are so high, diversifying the merchandise he sells in the front of his stores.
Inside Ukraine's Troubled Outreach to Trump - Many nations keep a nervous eye on U.S.presidential races, but none have as much at stake this time as the Ukrainians.
Zelensky's first public event that day was a visit to an arms factory in Scranton, Pa., which he toured alongside the state's Democratic governor, Josh Shapiro. The visit allowed Zelensky to express his gratitude to all the American workers producing weapons for Ukraine. But the optics did not sit well with the Trump campaign. It seems he took offense, one member of Zelensky's entourage tells TIME.

I wanted to get to know the person beyond the undeniable worldwide successincluding her newest single, Taste-to see how she operates on a personal level.

Kate Winslet Puts Lee Miller in the Frame - Kate Winslet loves tables. She loves them so much that the Oscar-winning actor collects them.
Kate Winslet loves tables. She loves them so much that the Oscar-winning actor collects them. There is nothing fancy about these antiques, but they enchant her. "It's the knots and the whorls, the shape and feel," she says. "They can feel like old friends, and there is something emotionally charging about an old table that comes with a history-I find imagining what that might be enormous fun."
Alfonso Cuarón Goes Long - The Oscar-winning filmmaker finds pathos in our lonely present in his first TV miniseries
A perceptive, generous-spirited child draws on her imagination when she's subjected to the cruelty of a boarding-school headmistress. A lone astronaut, cradled in a damaged space capsule and having lost any hope of returning to Earth, experiences a hallucination that saves her life. A young household servant, abandoned by the man who's gotten her pregnant, miscarries-though his betrayal helps her define what family truly means to her. Loneliness, so universal it has virtually become trademarked the Human Condition, is everywhere in art, and in life: we tend to fetishize it, or at least dab it with a perfume of sentimentality. But Alfonso Cuarón, now more than 30 years into a wide-ranging career that spans pictures like the Frances Hodgson Burnett adaptation A Little Princess, the space reverie Gravity, and the memoir-as-film drama Roma, is more interested in subtle emotional textures, in gradations of feeling that are always specific to the character at hand yet also joltingly recognizable. And now he brings his big-screen, big-story gifts to a limited series, an adaptation of Renée Knight's 2015 psychological thriller Disclaimer.
