A 48-year-old has just climbed Mount Everest for the 10th time

The Nepalese single mother, Lhakpa Sherpa was born in a cave, has had no formal education and worked as a cleaner.

She says it was a dream to climb the world’s tallest mountain for the first time. But is proud to have changed Sherpa-culture since then.

During her first few expeditions, she used to plant the Nepalese flag at the summit. This time was a little different though, she was carrying the U.S. flag.

Lhakpa Sherpa now lives in the U.S. state of Connecticut with their two daughters and has a son from a previous relationship.

She last made the trek in 2018.

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.
