Leslie Jordan, the prolific character actor died at the age of 67 after a car accident on Oct. 24 in Hollywood.

The incident is believed to have been a medical emergency.

Jordan was known for his roles in Will & Grace, American Horror Story and Murphy Brown.

Following the tragic news, Hollywood is mourning the loss of an icon.

Jordan’s agent said in a statement:

“The world is definitely a much darker place today without the love and light of Leslie Jordan.” Not only was he a mega talent and joy to work with, but he provided an emotional sanctuary to the nation at one of its most difficult times. What he lacked in height he made up for in generosity and greatness as a son, brother, artist, comedian, partner, and human being. Knowing that he has left the world at the height of both his professional and personal life is the only solace one can have today.”

During the pandemic Jordan racked up millions of followers on social media–as he provided comedic relief during the global lockdown.

Throughout his illustrious career, Jordan appeared in more than 30 films and on more than 80 shows.

US pressures Ukraine to accept a peace plan risking territory loss amid ongoing conflict with Russia.

The United States is pressuring Ukraine to accept a peace plan that would see the country surrender territory and military equipment as part of a negotiated settlement with Russia. The proposal has sparked concern within Kyiv over the potential loss of sovereignty and long-term security.

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is in Turkey discussing this plan, which may also involve cuts to Ukraine’s armed forces. His visit comes as Washington intensifies efforts under the Trump administration to secure an end to the conflict, despite fears the terms could undermine Ukraine’s national interests.

As Russian forces continue their aggressive campaign, holding roughly 19% of Ukrainian territory, Zelenskiy is attempting to revive peace talks before winter further complicates the frontline. The stakes remain high as the geopolitical landscape shifts.

Senate upholds vote to release Epstein files despite White House delay attempt; Trump signals intent to sign bill.

The White House tried to delay a vote on the release of Justice Department files connected to Jeffrey Epstein, even as former President Trump insisted there was nothing to hide.

Despite this, the Senate approved the measure exactly as it passed the House, ignoring amendments proposed by Trump’s aides. This move clears the path for the files to be made public in full.

Trump has indicated he intends to sign the bill, marking a significant shift after the White House’s attempt to block or delay the vote proved unsuccessful. The decision could have wide-reaching implications for transparency and ongoing investigations.
