Authorities say a Temple University student died Tuesday after suffering injuries after falling high from a light pole during raucous celebrations of the Philadelphia Eagles' NFC title game victory. According to Temple, 18-year-old Tyler Sabapathy, a Toronto native, was a first-year student specializing in exercise and sport science at the university's College of Public Health. In a statement, Temple President John Frey and Vice President Jodi Bailey said that the death was "both tragic and traumatic," that "there are no words that can make sense of it, and the entire Temple community mourns his passing." "Our hearts go out to Tyler s family, friends, classmates and all who knew and loved him," added the statement. After the Eagles defeated the Washington Commanders 55-23 to secure a spot ...

As the Republican-led Congress prepares to carry out his agenda, President Donald Trump signed an immigration detention bill into law on Wednesday, his first legislative victory since taking office. In a vote of 263-156 on Wednesday, the House finally approved the plan, with 46 Democrats voting with the Republicans. Twelve Democrats broke with their party to support the proposal, which also cleared the Senate on Monday by a vote of 64 to 35. Trump thanked the Republican and Democratic members who got the measure to his desk and began his speech with a victory lap, claiming that his immigration program was the reason he won the election. "That is the reason I am here rather than someone else. In fact, it's the main reason," Trump stated during his speech in the White House's East Wing, prai...

The case would essentially come to an end on Wednesday when the Justice Department filed to discontinue its appeal of a federal court judgment dismissing the criminal charges against President Donald Trump's erstwhile co-defendants in the secret materials case. Then-U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland had stated that the pending appeal might affect the due process rights of co-defendants Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliviera, which is why he would not make special counsel Jack Smith's report on the criminal case he had brought against Trump publicly available. Hayden O'Byrne submitted the Justice Department's move to withdraw the appeal with the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. According to the Miami Herald, O'Byrne was appointed as the Southern District of Florida's acting U.S. attorney ...

As she requested forgiveness from a Montana parole board on Wednesday, a woman who killed her lover and was highlighted in Netflix's I Am A Killer documentary for the 2015 crime walked back a terrifying confession that was aired on the show. In 2015, Lindsay Haugen, 41, entered a guilty plea to strangling Robert Mast, 25, when they were sitting in a car in a Walmart parking lot. Since 2016, she has been incarcerated for 60 years for intentional killing. Haugen claimed that she killed Mast, whom she had known for less than a month, out of love after he stated he wanted to die in the second season of I Am A Killer, a Netflix true-crime series that features convicted murderers. However, during a police interrogation that was captured on camera and featured in the program, she admitted to a de...

Republicans and Democrats have come together because of this. "That's not easy to do," Trump stated during talks in the White House's East Wing. It was La...

Under intense senatorial grilling on Wednesday, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. outlined his plans to head the Department of Health and Human Services while reversing his earlier positions against vaccines and in favor of abortion. Kennedy, a former independent presidential candidate, is one of President Donald Trump's more unconventional Cabinet choices, as both the left and the right have expressed doubt over his candidacy. While Democrats posed the most aggressive questions during his three-and-a-half-hour appearance before the Senate Finance Committee, Kennedy also faltered when he was questioned about Medicaid by Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., a physician who is anticipated to be crucial to his confirmation. Kennedy claimed that the deductibles and premiums for Medicaid were excessively costly and t...

Following the conclusion of their most recent two-day policy meeting—the first to be held during the second Trump administration—Federal Reserve officials kept interest rates unchanged. Despite pressure from President Donald Trump on officials to decrease rates, that choice was made. One indication of the central bank's reasoning is that in its press release announcing the decision, which analysts usually interpret as a sign of the way forward, it removed a portion of a line stating that inflation has moved closer to its 2% target, noting only on Wednesday that it is still somewhat elevated. In December, consumer prices were 2.9% higher on average than they were during the same period last year. This yearly pace has been above the Fed's 2% target for months. Following the announcement, all...

Dank Demoss, a rapper from Detroit, is suing Lyft, claiming that because of her weight, she was denied access to a car she had requested. On January 19, Demoss, whose real name is Dajua Blanding, posted a video to Instagram showing her interacting with a purported Lyft driver who turned her down for a ride. I apologize. I have no room. In the video, the driver remarked, "My car is small." This car can accommodate me. 29-year-old Demoss answered. You can't, I assure you, so I apologize. The driver responded, "I'm going to cancel [the ride], and you won't be charged." Are you saying that because I can't get in your car, I can't get into the Lyft? Are you saying that I need to order another Lyft because I'm too big to fit in your car? Demoss uttered those words. "Yes, you need to order a ...
