The strike, backed by major unions, targeted a housing market where rents and prices have climbed sharply, squeezing working families.\n\nSpain has seen a prolonged housing affordability crisis, with rents rising far faster than wages, especially in cities like Madrid and Barcelona. Unions called the strike to demand rent controls, more public housing, and action against speculative and short-term rental practices.\n\nFormer NFL coach and ESPN analyst Rex Ryan, 63, turned himself in to Nashville police Wednesday on six misdemeanor warrants after allegedly striking two pedestrians with his pickup truck near 4th Avenue and Broadway last Thursday night. The pedestrians suffered minor injuries; Ryan is charged with leaving the scene, failure to render aid, and failure to obey a traffic signal.\n\nCiro Stephen Tomlian, a former UT Tyler student not currently enrolled, was arrested and charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and one count of assault causing bodily injury after allegedly swinging a cane at people at a Turning Point USA event on the UT Tyler campus Tuesday. Video shows him throwing an American flag and making obscene gestures.\n\nThe historic ocean liner SS United States is slated to be sunk off the Florida coast to become an artificial reef, under a plan by Okaloosa County, Florida, which bought the ship.\n\nMillions of Spaniards took part in a general strike over housing costs, the first nationwide general strike in Spain in 14 years.\n\nRep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) did make remarks mocking fellow Republicans for crying \"election fraud\" while controlling the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and White House, saying \"we won all the damn elections.\" This is a religious opinion post, not a factual claim.
