Donald Trump‘s former attorney Jenna Ellis could flip on the former president, according to a recent report.
Ellis is one of the several co-defendants indicted in Georgia over RICO charges involving Trump’s alleged election meddling efforts. However, Trump left Ellis high and dry leaving her to crowdfund her own legal defense. Forbes report that she’s currently raised $195,000, and being left to scrounge to cover her defense could likely precede turning on Trump.
Ellis has been aggressively tweeting her thoughts about Trump, and while there’s no official indication she’s cooperating with prosecutors in Georgia, her statements don’t bode well for her old boss.
“Trump could have issued a blanket pardon before he left office, with certain requisite conditions to be ascertained later on a case by case basis (such as non-violent individuals for instance, to foreclose pardoning anyone in your example). Why didn’t he?” she added.
In a separate X post from September 1, Ellis wrote: “Has Trump defended the J6ers [January 6, 2021 accused]? Has Trump defended the indicted lawyers? Has Trump defended the pastors jailed or threatened with fines over [former Chief Medical Advisor Anthony] Fauci’s failed covid policies Has he paid for anyone’s legal defense except himself (oh and Jason Miller’s child support lawyer)?”
Citing an August tweet from legal analyst Tristan Snell that claims Ellis is at her “tipping point” as well as comments from former Trump attorney Michael Cohen that the former president’s cheapness often screws him in court, Newsweek reports that Ellis is a likely candidate to turn on Trump.
However, in a Tuesday afternoon tweet, Ellis criticized the speculation that she’s ready to cooperate with Fulton County D.A. Fani Wills. While Ellis did not dispute the claim, she simply stated that any information regarding her actions will come from her or her legal team.
Raw Story and Newsweek have reliably informed you that I’ve apparently reached my “tipping point” because they consulted a “legal analyst” — a leftist MSNBC commentator I don’t know and I have never spoken to.
This kind of ridiculous speculation is what passes for journalism. … https://t.co/59UV8CYKlz
“Raw Story and Newsweek have reliably informed you that I’ve apparently reached my ‘tipping point’ because they consulted a ‘legal analyst’ — a leftist MSNBC commentator I don’t know and I have never spoken to. This kind of ridiculous speculation is what passes for journalism. ” Ellis tweeted. “Note for the peanut gallery: Anything genuine happening with me in the Georgia matter will come directly from me or my lawyers.”

In a YouTube confessional posted earlier today, The Terminator hero opened up about a disastrous medical procedure he survived just a few years ago. The 76-year-old action star underwent a valve replacement surgery in 2019, just months before he was set to film Terminator: Dark Fate. Unfortunately, the fairly routine operation morphed into life-saving, open-heart surgery after doctors accidentally nicked the former Governor’s heart wall, which caused internal bleeding and could have proved fatal had his doctors not acted quickly.
“I woke up and all of a sudden the doctors were in front of me saying, ‘I’m so sorry but it was unlike what we planned,’” Schwarzenegger said in the clip. “[They said] we made a mistake and poked through the heart wall and had to open me up very quickly and to save [my] life. I was really freaking out.”
The star then shared footage of his recovery process which left him humbled but more determined than ever to get back in shape. “It was a disaster. I was in the middle of a disaster,” he explained. “So now how do I get out of it? You have to shift gears. You collect yourself, shift gears and say, ‘OK, what I need to do now is I got to get out of this hospital.’”
Schwarzenegger had family and friends visit daily to help motivate him on his journey, revealing that simply walking the length of a hospital hallway proved difficult at the time. “I looked like an idiot waddling around in the hallways but the bottom line was I was getting going because the doctors said you have to exercise your lungs because if you get pneumonia you can die,” he added. Somehow, the actor was able to get his fitness back in time to shoot his sixth Terminator film just a few months later. He attributes that feat to his “positive attitude” and his “support system,” and he shared his story in the hopes it would inspire others to keep going in their own health and fitness journeys.

In response to Vanity Fair’s “25 Perfect TV Episodes From The Last 25 Years,” Martin mentioned that his episode of Game of Thrones titled “Blackwater” landed on the list, though he had some better ideas for what he considers “perfect.”
The author mentioned the usual popular episodes, like The Sopranos episode “The Pine Barrens” and “Ozymandias” from Breaking Bad, but there was one that he felt was better than any of the silly shenanigans that Walter White was pulling. Martin wrote:
if I had to pick one episode that was even more perfect than all the others on the list, though, it would have to be the final episode of SIX FEET UNDER. I liked that series well enough, though I cannot say I loved it as much as I loved ROME or DEADWOOD or FARGO or a few other shows missing from the list, but that last episode was far and away the best finale in the entire history of television, and I cannot imagine how anyone could possibly do better.
It’s hard to imagine a more perfect ending than seeing how every single character dies, but having it set to “Breathe Me” by Sia? That was a top-tier move from HBO. It gave closure that shows right now don’t seem to give, which is probably just to keep finales open-ended in case a spinoff is ever in the works. Listen, finales can be hard. George would know.
One of the beautiful things about humans is how diverse we are. Not just in the way we look, dress and eat, but in the way we feel, think and process. What works for one person won’t necessarily work for another, and trying to force a square peg into a round hole is just an exercise in frustration.
This truth is particularly apparent in the realm of productivity.
Productivity “hacks” are everywhere these days. As of July 2023, James Clear’s book “Atomic Habits” has sold 15 million copies worldwide. Clear’s approach to habit formation has made waves because it feels far more accessible and achievable than many others—and indeed, many have found it life-changing—but what if consistent habits and routines aren’t a part of your makeup?
Filips is an artist, medical student, author, podcaster and YouTube creator who has accomplished an astonishing amount in what she refers to as her “chaotically organized” life. For her, productivity doesn’t look like consistency, habit and routine—the things that are so often drilled into us as the keys to getting things done. Rather, she’s learned to harness her passion-led motivation and work in huge, productive spurts of focus.
Essentially, it’s the inverse of the “Atomic Habits” method of small, consistent improvements. Rather than get 1% better at something each day, Filips “primes” her passion for a task, waits until she gets to a point of “I have to learn this now!” and then makes 100%, 500%, 5000% improvements, all in one fell swoop.
It’s a familiar way of working for people with ADHD, only Filips actually explains the methodology of it in a way that turns it into a legitimate productivity approach. It’s not necessarily laziness if you can’t keep up with routines and habits—it may be that you are wired for more of a passion-primed sprint way of getting things done rather than a purposefully paced marathon.
Watch Filips explain:
Filips also created a follow-up video explaining how one potential downfall of this method is that you might quit things too often when the passion for them wanes. She explains how to not quit everything you start in this video:
Here’s to the various ways we all think and work and make the best use of our time. Productivity doesn’t look the same for everyone, so if you feel like you’re a square peg trying to squeeze yourself into a round hole when you read about habits and routine, maybe you just need to embrace chaotic organization. There’s no “wrong” way, as long as what you’re doing works for you.

A lot of folks would love to trade lives with Christine Kesteloo. Her husband is the Chief Engineer on a cruise ship, so she gets to live on the boat pretty much for free as the “wife on board.” For Christine, life is a lot like living on a permanent vacation.
“I live on a cruise ship for half the year with my husband, and it’s often as glamorous as it sounds,” she told Insider. “After all, I don’t cook, clean, make my bed, do laundry or pay for food.“
Living an all-inclusive lifestyle seems like paradise, but it has some drawbacks. Having access to all-you-can-eat food all day long can really have an effect on one’s waistline. Kesteloo admits that living on a cruise ship takes a lot of self-discipline because the temptation is always right under her nose.
“One of the hardest things about living on a cruise ship is that I know right now, if I just leave my cabin, I can go and have cookies, pizza, a shake, I could have anything I wanted, and I want it, I absolutely want it,” she said in a TikTok video that received over 400,000 views.
The hardest part about living on a cruise ship is that I am surrounded by free food all of the time anything I want I just had lunch but it’s 2 o’clock in my body tells me it’s either cookie time or time for a hamburger. The hardest part is telling myself not to eat. #hardestpart #cruiseship #livingatsea #koningsdam #weliveonacruiseship #cruisefoodie #foodtok #itsaproblem #halcruises #hollandamericaline
“I am laying here. It is 2 pm. I had a salad for lunch, I had some fresh fruit, but that didn’t fill me up,” she continued. “Right now, all I can think about is eating a burger with some French fries and some mayonnaise.”
“And that, folks, is the absolute hardest part about living on a cruise ship,” she said. “I am surrounded by food all the time.”
She added, “The hardest part is telling myself not to eat.”
Kesteloo’s trouble is a common problem among people on cruise ships. A study by Admiral Travel Insurance found that over 60% of people who go on a week-long cruise anticipate gaining weight. Seventeen percent of people say they gain 2 to 3 pounds on a cruise, while 14% say they gain 4 to 5 pounds.
Other estimates show that the average cruiser will put on 5 to 10 pounds on a weeklong cruise. Imagine living on a cruise ship for half the year, like Kesteloo. She could quickly put on 100 pounds a year if she’s not careful.
“I’d be huge if I lived there. I would feel like I’m on a constant vacation, and who diets on vacation?” Theresa Gramelsapcker-Wilson wrote in the comments.
“This is my main reason why I couldn’t do this HHAHAHAHAHAA,” Cara Mia added.
“I never thought about those who actually live on a cruise ship. I would be 500 pounds,” Lucky Penny2468 said.
Kesteloo’s battle with temptation shows that in every life, a little rain must fall. Nobody ever truly has it perfect. Kesteloo seems to be living the perfect life on board a cruise ship, but she still has to fight temptation every moment of the day or make good use of the ship’s gym facilities. But, obviously, having access to too much food is far better than having too little.

Quavo takes a sightseeing tour of the Dominican Republic in the video for “Galaxy” from his new album Rocket Power. The “Galaxy” from the title refers to the ceiling of his Rolls-Royce Phantom, which notoriously has a star pattern in the ceiling (it’s apparently a favorite topic of his, as in 2017 he also dropped a song called “Stars In The Ceiling”).
While the song boasts about the luxury car, Quavo’s video sees him walking around the island with a gorgeous woman, cutting into a coconut with a machete, and hanging out with the local kids. The picturesque video is reminiscent of a travelogue show, capturing the laid-back day-to-day life on the island and lush scenery of the popular vacation destination.
“Galaxy” follows “Greatness,” “Turn Yo Clic Up,” and “11.11” as standouts from the new album. Meanwhile, much of the album is dedicated to Quavo’s late partner-in-rhyme, Takeoff. The Atlanta rap pioneer’s last full-length project was a collaborative album with Takeoff (Only Built For Infinity Links), while his last proper solo album was 2018’s Quavo Huncho. In the two years since the last Migos album, Quavo and Takeoff fell out with Offset — something Quavo references a few times on Rocket Power. The remaining bandmates have since made up.
Watch Quavo’s “Galaxy” video above.
Rocket Power is out now via Quality Control / Motown / Capitol. Get it here.
The New England-style IPA just keeps chugging along like a juicy, cloudy, hoppy train. It came on the scene almost twenty years ago, when John Kimmich at The Alchemist in Vermont brewed the now iconic Heady Topper back in 2004. The IPA style really exploded into the mainstream in the last decade when it was officially recognized as a style in 2015. Since then, its popularity has risen every year. Now, walk into any craft brewery and there’s a good chance they make at least one hazy IPA.
This hazy, juicy IPA style is known for its bouquet of fresh hops and tropical fruits and palate of mangos, peaches, pineapples, citrus peels, and floral hops. Unlike the West Coast IPA, it finishes with almost no bitterness. Juicy, fruity, hoppy, and delicious.
Now, we’re at the point where there are essential New England-style IPAs that all beer fans should try. We’ve selected eight of these, reasonably easy-to-find gems and ranked them based on juiciness, tropical fruit flavor, and overall balance. Keep scrolling to see them all.
This juicy banger gets its creamy, hazy, juicy, tropical fruit-filled palate from the use of American hefeweizen yeast, as well as Pale and C-80 malt, wheat, oats, and Citra, Centennial, Simcoe, Cascade, and Nugget hops.
Tasting Notes:
A nose of tangerine, mango, peach, and floral hops leads to a palate of caramelized pineapple, orange juice, guava, mango, and sweet malts. The finish is lightly floral and hoppy with little to no bitterness. It’s sweet and juicy throughout.
Bottom Line:
This beer is called “Juicy Haze” and that’s exactly what it is. It’s bursting with juicy, tropical fruit flavor that will appeal to IPA fans who prefer sweetness to bitterness.
One of the most well-known New England-style IPAs available almost anywhere, Sierra Nevada Hazy Little Thing is a pleasantly malty, lightly bitter, highly juicy IPA. It gets its flavor from being brewed with oats, wheat, and lupulin hop dust as well as Magnum, Citra, Comet, Simcoe, El Dorado, and Mosaic hops.
Tasting Notes:
The nose is all oats, grapefruit peels, pineapple, and dank, floral pine. The palate is citrus-centric with a ton of tangerine, grapefruit, and lemon flavors to go along with other tropical fruits. The finish is hoppy, lightly piney, and has a pleasant, gentle hop bitterness.
Bottom Line:
This is a great gateway New England-style IPA as it still has some of the bitterness classic IPA drinkers crave along with the juicy sweetness hazy fans love.
When it comes to New England-style IPAs, there are few as flavorful and unique as Two Roads Two Juicy. Brewed with Mandarina Bavaria, Hallertauer Blanc, and Citra hops, it’s known for its tropical fruit and citrus fruit-filled, hazy, juicy flavor profile.
Tasting Notes:
Aromas of tangerine, lemongrass, grapefruit, and dank pine fill your nostrils before your first sip. Drinking it reveals caramelized pineapple, grapefruit, orange peel, and floral, noble hops. The finish is a nice mix of sweet fruits and pleasantly bitter, resinous hops.
Bottom Line:
In a world of one-dimensional, overly juicy, fruity New England-style IPAs, Two Roads Two Juicy manages to be both juicy and fruity and hoppy and perfectly bitter.
This complex, hazy IPA is brewed with Pilsner and Vienna malts as well as American ale yeast. It gets its melon, pineapple, and citrus flavors from the use of Mosaic, Citra, and Galaxy hops and double dry-hopping with even more Mosaic hop dust pellets.
Tasting Notes:
Complex aromas of ripe peaches, mango, pineapple, grapefruit, and dank, lightly floral hops begin your tasting journey. Sipping it brings forth notes of peach, mango, bubblegum, tangerine, honeydew melon, and lightly floral hops. The finish is sweet and gently bitter.
Bottom Line:
This is a very flavorful New England-style IPA. There’s so much going on, it might take a few tastings to find all the aromas and flavors.
With a name like Juice Bomb, you should have a pretty good idea of what’s in store for you when you crack open one of these bad boys. This juicy, fruity, tropical fruit-filled IPA is brewed with CTZ, Citra, Amarillo, and Simcoe hops in the kettle and dry-hopped with even more Citra, Amarillo, and Simcoe hops.
Tasting Notes:
A lot is going on with this beer’s nose. There are notes of tangerine, grapefruit peels, peaches, mango, guava, passionfruit, and just a hint of floral, spicy hops. On the palate, you’ll find flavors of tangerine, lemon, grass, caramelized pineapple, mango, guava, peach, and light floral hops. The finish is slightly astringent and gently bitter with a touch of pine.
Bottom Line:
This beer is literally a juice bomb. It’s juicy and filled with tropical fruits and citrus fruits and just the right amount of hop spice.
This juicy, hazy, unfiltered, New England-style IPA is double dry-hopped with Mosaic, Simcoe, Citra, Centennial, and Topaz hops. It’s also brewed with London ale yeast. A popular yeast is usually used in darker beers like brown ales and porters.
Tasting Notes:
Taking a quick sniff will bring you notes of ripe pineapple, grapefruit, tangerine, peach, and floral hops. The palate is loaded with hints of tangerine, grapefruit, mango, peach, pineapple, and gentle, floral earthy hops. The finish is a nice mix of fruity sweetness and dank pine.
Bottom Line:
As hazy IPAs go, this one is a little on the lighter side. But that doesn’t stop it from being filled with tropical fruit flavor and dank pine. It just makes it an easier drinking IPA.
One of the most popular, well-known New England-style IPAs, Toppling Goliath King Sure is a 7.8% juicy, fruity banger brewed exclusively with Citra hops. The result is an epic IPA with a ton of pineapple, orange, and mango flavors.
Tasting Notes:
On the nose, you’ll find a ton of tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, mango, peach, lemongrass, and floral, resinous hops. The palate is filled with more grapefruit, caramelized pineapple, mango, ripe peach, cut grass, honey, orange zest, and dank pine. The finish is astringent with a pleasant hop bite.
Bottom Line:
This highly-rated New England-style IPA lives up to its name with a juicy, citrus palate and a mildly ferocious hop bite at the end.
Relatively new in the New England-style IPA world, Half Acre Way Bird is already a must-try brew. Made with El Dorado and HBC 586 hops, it’s known for its mix of dank bitterness and stone fruit and citrus peel flavors.
Tasting Notes:
This hazy beer begins with aromas of tangerines, mangos, peaches, passionfruit, pineapple, caramel malts, and light floral hops. The palate is a symphony of mango, peach, grapefruit, lime zest, caramelized pineapple, and resinous, sticky hops. The finish is lightly bitter and very fruity.
Bottom Line:
It seems like a new hazy IPA hits the market every week. Half Acre Way Bird might have only launched this year, but it’s already a beer that deserves your attention.
