New interior photos of an upcoming Volkswagen EV reveal the company’s previously announced scheme to bring back certain physical buttons will soon be a reality.

As news spread Saturday of President Donald Trump’s removal of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, a split screen emerged in Congress: Republicans largely celebrated the military operation, while Democrats condemned the president’s actions and questioned their legality. After months of pressure on Maduro, Trump announced on Truth Social that the U.S. had assisted in a “large scale strike” against the country and its leader, who was captured along with his wife, Cilia Flores, and is being brought to the U.S. “Trump rejected our Constitutionally required approval process for armed conflict because the Administration knows the American people overwhelmingly reject risks pulling…

We posted a couple of times about Meta’s Quest 3S during the holidays. The virtual reality headset that typically sold for $299.99 was — and still is — available for $249.99. Better yet, you can get in on a promotion at Amazon that includes a $50 digital account credit with purchase. You can find a similar sale price of $249.99 at other retailers, but it seems like Amazon is the only one that includes a gift card.The Quest 3S is a wonderful device for first-time virtual reality explorers.

Wedding table settings are arguably the most memorable part of a couple’s wedding decor, combining multiple visual elements that are reflective of the couple, their location, and their aesthetic. Some may opt for an abundance of flowers, others, dinner by candlelight. Then, there are the brides and grooms who want to march to the beat of their own drums and do something wildly different.
