Crisis to coalition: Incumbent Sri Lankan president wins in election landslide
Anura Kumara Dissanayake's leftist coalition has won a decisive victory in Sri Lanka’s snap general election, winning 137 out of 196 seats. His victory gives him a parliamentary majority to appoint a full cabinet and fulfill his key promises.
Dissanayake, who inherited a nation reeling from the financial crisis, plans to tackle poverty and the high cost of living with the help of a $2.9 billion IMF bailout.
But experts fear his proposal to revise key terms of the IMF agreement, including tax reforms, may delay further aid and complicate Sri Lanka's economic recovery.

Nancy Pelosi files paperwork for 2026 Congressional bid
While Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi has filed paperwork for a potential 2026 Congressional run, her spokesperson emphasizes that the filing is a legal formality required due to campaign spending, not a declaration of intent.
Despite this, the filing has spurred speculation about whether Pelosi, 84, will ultimately seek re-election, especially following Donald Trump's victory over Vice President Kamala Harris in the recent presidential election.
She’s only 84 guys - just 400 more years until retirement.

Man dresses as bear as part of California insurance fraud scheme
In Southern California, four people were arrested after faking a bear attack on luxury cars for insurance payouts. A person in a bear costume allegedly damaged a Rolls-Royce, costing insurers $141,839 in fraudulent claims, according to California Insurance officials.
The ruse was uncovered when a biologist from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife reviewed footage of the purported incident and suggested it was a person in a costume. Later, the bear costume was found in the suspects’ home after a search warrant was executed.
Truly, there's no business like show business.
