Even though Elizabeth Holmes is just nine months into a projected nine years in federal prison, she appeared to have a happy 40th birthday on Saturday when her family paid her a visit and she got some playtime in the prison yard with her two young children.

WASHINGTON― Hill Harper, the actor and author running for Michigan's open U.S. Senate seat, filed a key disclosure form last week claiming that he earned no income last year or during the first 10 months of 2023.
