Alec Baldwin denies pulling the trigger in fatal shooting incident
During an interview, Alec Baldwin denied pulling the trigger in the fatal shooting incident on the set of the movie 'Rust'. He insisted that he would never intentionally point a gun at someone and pull the trigger. Baldwin claimed that a live bullet was in the gun without his knowledge, which should not have been on the property. Experts have since weighed in, stating that older type Colt single-action revolvers can discharge even with a light pull on the trigger, potentially causing an accidental firing.
Chris Christie's book 'Republican Rescue' sells only 2,289 copies in first week
Chris Christie's book 'Republican Rescue' has been deemed a massive publishing flop, selling just 2,289 copies in its first week. The book, which was part of Christie's attempt to position himself as a potential opponent to Trump, received little interest both from the conservative base and from liberals. Critics pointed out that Christie's close association with Trump and his lack of solutions for the future of the Republican Party have contributed to the book's lack of appeal.
Rent prices surge across the US
Rent prices have surged across the US, with one-bedroom apartment prices increasing by 19.8% year-over-year and two-bedroom apartments increasing by 17.3%. The top cities with the highest rent increases are scattered across the country, with a prevalence of warm-weather locations. The surge in rent prices is due to the post-pandemic return of renters to cities and the scarcity of rental properties. Experts predict that the trend of increasing rent prices is likely to continue in the near future.
