Golf pro Jason Day wore sweatpants at Pebble Beach and caused a furor among fans

When PGA veteran Jason Day wore a full gray sweatsuit on Sunday at Pebble Beach, the fashion-conscious golf community gasped and criticized him harshly. Day, 37, tied for 13th place at a 12-under 269 after shooting a final-round 69 at the renowned Northern California course. However, it was what he was playing in on Sunday that caused people to take notice, not his play. Wearing grey sweatpants and a grey crew sweater with no distinguishing features other than a cursive M on the top left chest, Day could have easily passed for any random guy putting around a par 3 public course on Sunday. The M represented his apparel sponsor, Malbon Golf, a Los Angeles-based company that aims to preserve golf's legacy while introducing it to a wider audience by fusing traditional principles with a modern,...

More than 1,000 EPA employees are told they could be dismissed immediately

The Summary Around 1,100 EPA employees received an email saying that they could lose their jobs immediately.

Over 1,000 workers at the Environmental Protection Agency have received notice from the Trump administration that they may be let go right away. According to an email examined by NBC News, employees who had worked for the agency for less than a year were notified via email last week that they had been recognized as employees who were probably on probation or trial. According to the email, the agency has the authority to fire you right away if you are an em...

Men in two states are accused of impersonating ICE officers

A man from South Carolina was detained on suspicion of impersonating an ICE officer after authorities claim that he was seen on camera confronting a Latino man in a pickup truck and threatening to send him back to Mexico. A 22-year-old male and two other individuals were charged with posing as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in a case similar to the one that followed the arrest at Temple University the following day, according to Philadelphia police. A Latino civil rights group described the environment created by the Trump administration's robust immigration enforcement at the U.S.-Mexico border and major U.S. cities as hazardous. In reference to the man who was arrested in South Carolina, Roman Palomares, national president of the League of United Latin American Citizen...

Some Canadians are boycotting U.S. products in protest of looming tariffs

In protest of President Donald Trump's impending tariffs, some Canadians have started to boo the U.S. national anthem at professional athletic events and boycott American goods. Pierre Oliver, one of the many irate citizens of the U.S. ally country, expressed his frustration on Sunday by responding to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's appeal to prioritize purchasing Canadian goods in retribution for Trump's executive order imposing tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China. Oliver, a 67-year-old business owner from Ontario, added, "It's a drop in the bucket." However, it's our only option. Trump declared on Saturday that imports from Canada and Mexico would be subject to a 25% duty, with the exception of Canadian energy items, which would be subject to a 10% tariff. Citing the contribution of al...

Trump and leaders of Canada and Mexico say tariffs will be delayed one month after talks

White House says Elon Musk serving as a ‘special government employee’

Washington Elon Musk is a "special government employee," according to a White House official, working for the Trump administration. With this status, Musk, the tech entrepreneur and ardent Trump supporter whom Trump has sent on a federal government cost-cutting mission, is neither a full-time employee nor a volunteer. workers of special government are expected to adhere to ethical and conflict of interest rules that are often less stringent than those of federal workers. Some of the disclosure requirements for full-time positions are circumvented because it is a temporary post. Musk was appointed head of Trump's "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE), an advising commission outside the government. The Congressional Research Service reports that special federal employees are constrai...
