Trump’s antagonism risks pushing U.S. allies closer to China

Washington Foreign leaders would be better off as America's enemy than its ally, if they have learnt anything from Donald Trump's presidency. Trump has so far insulted Canada, pushed Denmark over Greenland's future, intimidated Colombia into returning undocumented immigrants on his terms, and threatened to take the famous canal from Panama, which is a source of immense pride for the country. To varied degrees, they are all partners or allies of the United States. According to the State Department's own website, Panama is a democratic partner that collaborates with the US to further shared objectives. Reports promoting a counternarcotics plan the two nations had developed, or at least had under Joe Biden's administration, were posted on the website of the U.S. Embassy in Colombia. The web...

Chappell Roan celebrates win for best new artist by calling out record labels

This year has been Chappell Roan's. Roan won the Grammy for best new artist on Sunday night, fresh off a festival circuit that broke records. Known for speaking her mind, Roan stuck to her acceptance speech. She made a number of thank-yous and then kept her word to herself. Reading from a diary, Roan started, "I told myself that if I ever won a Grammy and got to stand up here in front of the most powerful people in music, I would demand that labels and the industry that makes millions of dollars off of artists would offer a livable wage and health care, especially to developing artists." Halfway into the event on Sunday night, Roan had already changed out of many different costumes and was wearing a large cone hat onstage.

Agents ‘have started to pack up their desks’ as fear of FBI mass firings swirls

Acting Director Brian Driscoll, the leaders of the FBI's field offices in New York and Los Angeles, and an agents group comforted staffers and resisted attempts by the Trump administration to fire FBI officials amid widespread fears of mass firings. Following his pardon of almost all of the Jan. 6 rioters just hours after taking office for a second term, President Donald Trump publicly praised the firings of eight senior FBI career executives on Friday, which sparked the uneasiness. The acting director, Driscoll, reiterated Saturday night in a memo to FBI employees that the Trump administration is requesting the names of all FBI agents involved in the Jan. 6 investigations, a figure he has stated is in the thousands. We are still working with the Department of Justice to further understand...

Luka Doncic to the Lakers, Anthony Davis to the Mavs in blockbuster trade

USAID security leaders removed after refusing Elon Musk’s DOGE employees access to secure systems

Five people with knowledge of the situation told NBC News that the director of security for the U.S. Agency for International Development and his deputy were placed on administrative leave on Saturday for attempting to bar Department of Government Efficiency staff from using safe USAID systems.

According to two of the sources, the computers also contained information about agency employees' security clearances.
