On Tuesday, the NFL referees' labor organization denounced "conspiracy theories" that officials have been slanting games in favor of the Kansas City Chiefs, the two-time defending Super Bowl champions. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has to confront the widespread and unfounded claims that referees are the bag for Kansas City this week as the Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles prepare for Sunday's Super Bowl. NFLRA executive director Scott Green stated that Commissioner Goodell's remarks that it is absurd to assume that NFL officials are not making every effort to call the correct play are accurate. During a regular season, officiating crews only work the same team twice.

President Donald Trump and his followers have praised his use of tariff threats to pressure Canada and Mexico into making concessions on border security and drug trafficking. However, some of the agreements reached by America's two biggest economic partners and key allies are not as significant as the hype suggests, according to experts.

Sheinbaum stated that she and the Trump administration had reached an agreement to form a bilateral working group to ...

An intern searching through old boxes on Long Island, New York, discovered a piece of film history that had been missing for almost a century and was believed to be gone forever. The 16-millimeter film is thought to be the only surviving copy of The Heart of Lincoln, a silent film that chronicles the Civil War era in America and the life of President Abraham Lincoln. The Library of Congress named the Universal motion picture from 1915 as one of 7,000 silent films thought to be permanently lost.

According to a National Head Start Association survey, dozens of Head Start programs—which offer low-income children childcare and preschool education—have been unable to obtain previously authorized federal funding, putting some programs in danger of closing their doors in the near future. The programs claim that since a federal funding freeze was declared in the second week of the Trump administration, they have not been able to access the money to cover costs such as payroll and electricity. An Office of Management and Budget document that initiated the freeze last week was swiftly withdrawn. A judge delayed the action amid a legal challenge to the freeze, and the White House stated that the freeze shouldn't have harmed Head Start programs. However, according to the report, funding dela...
