Years ago, the then-unknown conservative lawyer began executing a plan that has helped reshape the U.S. courts and Republican politics, an effort that culminated in Trump’s first term with the appointment of three conservative Supreme Court justices. The success moved Leo out of the shadows, turning him into a hero to conservatives and a villain to liberals.

Asked about the wedding at a regular news briefing in Beijing, Chen Binhua, a spokesperson for China's Taiwan Affairs Office, said he could not comment.

Hunter Schafer's Vanity Fair Oscar Party Dress Left Very Little To The Imagination, And I'm Living For It

Hunter Schafer attended the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in a look that will be talked about for years to come.

I'm going to go as far as calling Hunter's look the 2023 Oscars version of Jennifer Lopez's Versace gown worn to the 2000 Grammys.

The Euphoria actress wore a daring Ann Demeulemeester ensemble that consisted of a single white feather worn bandeau-style across her chest held in place by a thin strap. The feather top was paired with a matching low-rise, silk maxi skirt.

She looked absolutely incredible, and the internet of course had A LOT to say about it.
