In an unlikely coalition, progressive Democratic congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and conservative Republican Dan Crenshaw teamed up on legislation to support allowing veterans to use psychedelic drugs to recover from the trauma of war, The New York Daily News reported. The two sought to include it in the National Defense Authorisation Act, which passed on Friday. Mr Crenshaw, a Republican who lost his right eye while serving in Afghanistan, noted the mix of ideologies at a press conference on Thursday. “This is a real wild coalition,” he said. “You’ve got extremely conservative Republicans, moderate Republicans, moderate Democrats, extremely progressive Democrats all on the same page.” Mr Crenshaw said he first became passionate about the topic after veterans he knew took ibogaine. “One treatment of ibogaine would cure them, cure them of addiction, cure them of their inner demons, their PTSD” he said. Ms Ocasio-Cortez noted how when she first entered Congress in 2019, her proposal failed, with 331 members voting against it. “While we are here to celebrate this legislative progress, I also want to acknowledge we are not yet done,” she said. “While we expect this psychedelic provision to make it through the House, we also expect it to face resistance in the Senate.” Mr Correa said he met veterans who had contemplated suicide before taking psychedelic treatment, but that they had to do so outside the United States. “Shameful,” he said. “Shameful that the one thing that works for veterans is not legal in the United States.” Ultimately, though, the funding for the language was stripped and the Rules Committee staff ruled it out of order, The Washington Examiner reported. Mr Crenshaw lambasted House staffers for sinking the legislation. “That tells me that there are staffers who are pushing this out for whatever reason they have, whether they claim it’s procedural or whatever, but they don't give us any time to react to it. Right. So they find a problem, and they squash it without giving us time to find a solution,” he said. “That is unacceptable.” Read More House Republicans push through defense bill limiting abortion access and halting diversity efforts AOC shares fear her Threads app was ‘bricked’ five minutes after joining Twitter rival

Actor Brian Cox recently said he dislikes “woke culture,” but apparently also doesn’t like Fox News, either. Cox came up on the Fox News talk show The Five on Thursday. The co-hosts discussed a recent interview with him on Piers Morgan Uncensored: “I think it points out too readily inadequacies. And the whole woke, what we’ve talked about before, the whole woke culture is truly awful.” “He might not be as conservative as I think he might be,” said co-host Dana Perino. The actor played a wealthy right-wing media mogul on the HBO show Succession. “We love having him on the network,” she added before thanking him for appearing on Morgan’s show. However, one of the show’s co-hosts remembered a comment the Scottish actor had made about Fox in a 2021 interview on CNBC: “I don’t even go there, because that’s, like, the devil.” Greg Gutfeld checked on his phone that the actor really had said it before calling his scathing comments “a compliment.” Read More Fox News beset by culture of ‘fear’ after $787.5m defamation payout, ex-host says 'Succession' likely to lead Emmy nominations, but Hollywood strikes could cloud ceremony Disney says ‘politically correct’ Snow White set photos being shared by conservatives are fake

Gilgo Beach murders suspect Rex Heuermann appeared in court on Friday as he insisted on his innocence. Mr Heaurmann, 59, was held without bail as prosecutors had sought, citing his recent searches for “sadistic materials, child pornography, images of the victims and their relatives.” Mr Heuermann is accused of murdering Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Costello — all sex workers in their 20s who disappeared in the Long Island area before their bodies were found during a separate missing person investigation in 2010.

In terms of speaking to my client, the only thing I can tell you that he did say, as he was in tears, was ‘I didn’t do this.’”
