Washington Just as leaders of both parties were hoping to adopt the interim legislation, President-elect Donald Trump criticized the bipartisan government funding package Wednesday afternoon, causing confusion. Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance's combined statement seriously jeopardizes the bill's chances in the Republican-controlled House, where Trump has considerable sway. The government would have remained open until March 14 under the law. If Congress does not take action, the shutdown will take place on Saturday at 12:01 a.m. As of right now, there is no backup plan. Republicans need to be tough and smart. Trump and Vance added, "CALL THEIR BLUFF if Democrats threaten to shut down the government unless we give them everything they want." Disaster relief and assistance to our ...

The mother of two very infant U.S. citizens was deported from Texas, according to confirmation from immigration officials on Wednesday. The mother, twins, and two other children were detained and deported to Mexico after the mother skipped a hearing while recuperating from giving birth to the babies by emergency cesarean section, according to a lawyer for the woman's husband and the father of the children. In September, the twins were born. According to media accounts, the mother, the twins, and two additional children were deported. However, Immigration and Customs Enforcement told NBC News that it does not deport U.S. citizens and that it solely deported the mother, identified as 23-year-old Cristina Geraldyn Salazar-Hinojosa. "American citizens are not deported by ICE. According to an I...

Paris The lady at the center of France's historic mass rape trial seemed to shrink when she arrived at the bleak Avignon courthouse on September 2, her face concealed beneath dark sunglasses and surrounded by a line of attorneys and family members. Eventually, 72-year-old Gis le Pelicot found her voice, exposing not only the unthinkable abuse committed by her husband—who has admitted to drugging her into unconsciousness and inviting men to rape her—but also a culture that many activists have characterized as sexist, accepting of violence against women, and unresponsive to change. 51 men, including her 72-year-old ex-husband Dominique Pelicot, are accused of raping and sexually assaulting her over a ten-year period ending in 2020; a verdict is anticipated on Thursday. Each of the defendan...

The Summary A new study suggests that the moon may be older than many scientists thought. The research suggests that lunar rock samples from the Apollo missions date back to an event that melted the moon's surface not to the moment it formed. The authors therefore think the moon formed around 4.51 billion years ago more than 100 million years earlier than the commonly accepted estimate. A recent study suggests that the moon may be around 100 million years older than some scientists previously believed. The study, which was released on Wednesday in the journal Nature, casts doubt on the conventional wisdom that the moon formed approximately 4.35 billion years ago when an asteroid the size of Mars collided with the early Earth to form our natural satellite. Analysis of ...

Atlanta President-elect Donald Trump is urging a state appeals court in Georgia to dismiss the election meddling case against him, arguing that his claims are "underbaked" and "should be ignored." Beginning in August 2023, the office of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is continuing its case against Trump and over a dozen of his associates. Given Trump's recent election victory and the immunity from prosecution that is frequently granted to sitting presidents, Trump's lawyers contend that the case ought to be dismissed. The prosecutors don't agree with such stance. Trump "does not make a specific request based on reasoned argument but expresses his preference that this Court independently perform extensive and novel legal analysis without guidance from the parties in order to ...
