Emmanuel Macron has blasted 'brain dead' NATO and warned that Europe can no longer rely on America to defend its allies. 'I'd argue that we should reassess the reality of what NATO is in the light of the commitment of the United States,' the French president told The Economist at the Elysee Palace. 'You have no coordination whatsoever of strategic decision-making between the United States and its NATO allies. None. You have an uncoordinated aggressive action by another NATO ally, Turkey, in an area where our interests are at stake.' Asked whether he still believed in Article Five of NATO's founding treaty - under which an attack against one is considered an attack against all - Macron answered: 'I don't know ... what will Article Five mean tomorrow?' #facepalm

Las Vegas officials passed a law Wednesday making it a crime for homeless people to sleep on streets or sidewalks when beds are available at city-sanctioned shelters, reported Fox News. The 5-2 council vote came after a day of drama that included Mayor Carolyn Goodman throwing out several audience members whom she deemed disruptive. Most of the people who showed up to the meeting spoke against the measure, which applied to Las Vegas' downtown urban core but not the tourist-heavy Las Vegas Strip, overseen by a different jurisdiction. Before the 9-hour meeting, about 100 people rallied, chanting, "The war on the poor has got to go." Goodman, the sponsor of the proposal, called the new law imperfect but said it was necessary to deal with the city's growing homeless crisis.
