Jimmy Hoffa's body may have been found by dog

The body of Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa may have been found buried next to a Milwaukee baseball stadium by a search dog called Moxy, cold case investigators claim.

The non-profit Case Breakers group says its years-long investigation led them to the former site of Milwaukee County Stadium in Wisconsin.

Hoffa, a legendary union leader, disappeared on 30 July 1975 while reportedly on his way to a meeting with Detroit mafia members. His body has never been found and he was declared legally dead in 1982.

The Case Breakers said in a statement on Wednesday that their search was aided by “a dying police sergeant’s scribbled instructions on an ace of spades” playing card.

Image of Palestinian carrying children out of rubble shows signs of AI

An image of a man carrying children through rubble has been shared tens of thousands of times on social media in posts linking it to the bombing of Gaza amid a war triggered by a deadly Hamas attack on Israel. But experts say the image shows signs of artificial intelligence and it was not published by news organizations with photographers in the region.

Tuberville tries to force a vote on Marine nominee despite military holds

WASHINGTON — The Senate is likely to vote this week to confirm the Marine Corps’ second-in-command after the service branch’s commandant, Gen. Eric Smith, was hospitalized due to a medical emergency on Sunday.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., facing fresh attacks over his military holds, is trying to force a floor vote on the nomination, while Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer privately told Democrats he'll bring up the nomination along with two others this week, a Senate source said.

Tuberville told reporters Tuesday that Smith’s unexpected health issues have caused him to reconsider his hold on the nomination of Lt. Gen Christopher Mahoney to be the Marine Corps’ assistant commandant.

“Just on that one,” Tuberville said, adding he won’t lift his blockade of hundreds of other senior military promotions until the Pentagon reverses its new abortion policy.

Tuberville won't lift his military blockade amid Israel-Hamas conflict

The office of Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., said he isn’t backing down on his monthslong blockade on hundreds of military promotions, even amid Hamas’ deadly attack on Israel, a close U.S ally.

“The Pentagon clearly thinks forcing taxpayers to facilitate abortion is more important than confirming their top nominees without a vote. They could end this situation TODAY by dropping their illegal and immoral policy and get everyone confirmed rapidly, but they refuse,” Tuberville spokesperson Steve Stafford said in a statement to NBC News. “If the Biden administration wants their nominees confirmed then Senate Democrats can do what Coach just did in September and file a cloture petition to force a vote.”
