Trump spends first week building a framework for his mass deportations vow

With Marines on the border, immigration authorities conducting raids, and more immigrants facing deportation, President Donald Trump is ending the week. Trump assured Americans that he will deport more people than ever before on his first day in office. Even though it took some time, he started the process of fulfilling his promise. Increased terror in immigrant populations, applause from supporters, declarations from state and local authorities outlining their responsibilities in supporting or opposing immigration enforcement, and multifront court battles against Trump's executive orders and actions have all resulted from this. Trump began the week by rescinding the executive orders on immigration signed by President Joe Biden, including those that created legal routes for the huge number...

Paul McCartney warns British government of the risks of AI ripping off artists

Paul McCartney has called on the British government to refrain from amending copyright laws, arguing that doing so could allow artificial intelligence firms to exploit artists. Unless the creators specifically choose not to, the British government is studying on whether to allow tech companies to utilize copyrighted content to train AI models. That would damage Britain's creative industry and make it more difficult for artists to maintain control over their work, McCartney told the BBC. Young men and women are emerging, and they write a lovely song, but they don't own it or have anything to do with it. The 82-year-old former Beatles member stated in an interview that will air on Sunday that anyone who wants to may just rip it off. The BBC released an excerpt on Saturday. The money is actua...

How skateboards, haircuts and vegan burgers gave young men a break after the L.A. fires

Los Angeles Standing in a line that wound down an East Hollywood residential street, Vincent Bugarin had a lot on his mind. When Altadena was devastated by the Eaton Fire, his family had lost everything. In addition to a pickup truck, bicycles, and sports shirts his father had left him after his death in 2022, the fire destroyed their house. "A lot of people tell me it's just material things," said 19-year-old Bugarin, who is currently residing in Glendale with family. But, he added, it's actually your heart. It is difficult to absorb. But Wednesday was a different story. That day, Bugarin was among about 200 people who came to Altadena Teen Boys Fire Recovery, a six-day fundraising event that served as a destination for boys and their families who had been displaced by the Eaton Fire i...

Madison Keys upsets defending champion Sabalenka to win Australian Open

In the Australian Open final on Saturday, Madison Keys of the United States defeated Belarus's two-time defending champion Aryna Sabalenka 6-3, 2-6, 7-5 to win her first Grand Slam title at the age of 29. Keys became the first woman since Serena Williams in 2005 to upset both of the top two WTA players at Melbourne Park when she defeated the top-ranked Sabalenka and eliminated the second-ranked Iga Swiatekin in the semifinals on Thursday, saving a match point in the process. After finishing second at the 2017 U.S. Open, Keys, who is ranked 14th and seeded 19th, was competing in her second major final. She stopped Sabalenka from winning her fourth major championship overall and her third consecutive women's trophy at the Australian Open, a feat last achieved by Martina Hingis from 1997 to 1...

‘A chip on our shoulder’: Trump’s Week 1 actions reward his MAGA base and settle scores

Washington Although his first week in office is not yet finished, President Donald Trump has carried out his plan to overwhelm the region with executive measures intended to usher in his second term and erase the Biden era. Americans shouldn't be shocked if they're experiencing the sensation of shock and awe that Trump's advisors claim they wanted to instill. As he sought a historic return to the Oval Office after his 2020 expulsion, Trump's campaign program mostly contained these moves, which ranged from starting the process of deporting illegal immigrants to pardoning political friends and reversing scores of Biden's executive orders. To put it briefly, Trump is using new initiatives to appease his supporters and make amends. In a phone interview with NBC News, White House deputy chief...
