The original deadline for providing data related to these incidents was set at January 19, with potential penalties up to $27,874 per day of being late, for a maximum of $139.4 million. But in part because the winter holidays cut into that time a little bit - and with Tesla being inundated with other investigation's requests into its self-driving tech's safety record - the automaker asked to extend the deadline. Evidently, its pleas fell on sympathetic ears: it now has until February 23 to make good.

Once we get past this issue, there's decent agreement on everything else,

But the summer after his brother Dale had graduated from high school, he invited young Harry to join him in Ash Fork, a tiny dot in Arizona along Highway 40. Dale had found work at a gas station in the railroad town near an Indian reservation. Not much was memorable about the town, the railroad, or the people Harry met, but he never forgot one lesson he learned there.

Don't say his name! Noem said. I mean, for heaven's sakes we shouldn't have people to continue to dox law enforcement when they have an 8000% increase in death threats against them. His name is public, Brennan replied. I know, but that doesn't mean it should continue to be said, Noem responded. She went on to claim that, people have attacked him and his family, and they are in jeopardy.

I don't understand why the billionaires just aren't calling good tax lawyers," he told The San Francisco Standard this week. Gamage insists founders wouldn't be forced to sell. Those with most of their wealth in private stock could open a deferral account for assets they don't want taxed immediately - California would instead take 5% whenever those shares are eventually sold.

Rows of businesses stood shuttered inside a sprawling complex of Somali businesses on a recent afternoon. Karmel Mall in south Minneapolis contains more than a hundred small businesses in suites offering everything from clothing and food to insurance and accounting services. On Thursday, the noisy hallways inside lay quiet, save for occasional chatter between neighboring vendors. The smell of fried food still wafted from the bakeries, the central heating hummed and the sound of Quran recitation flowed quietly from some shops.

That sun has provided him cheap power for 25 years, and this month he installed his fourth iteration of solar panels on his Vermont home. In an interview after he set up the new system, he said President Donald Trump's stance against solar and other cheap green energy will hurt the GOP in this year's elections as electricity bills rise.

We did not have a lot of money, said JD Vance, placing hand on heart as he recalled his childhood in Middletown, Ohio in the 1990s. I was raised by a woman who struggled often to put food on the table and clothes on her back.

Donald Trump's threat to impose fresh tariffs on eight European countries UK, Norway and six EU member states is a wrecking ball to the carefully stitched deals he concluded with those countries last summer. The two biggest voting blocs in the European parliament, the European People's Party (EPP) and the Socialists & Democrats (S&Ds), said on Saturday night the deal with the EU cannot be approved in the present circumstances.

The docent had finally stopped before the black-and-white photograph of a looming, glaring President Trump that dominates the entrance to the final rooms of the "America's Presidents" exhibit. We had managed not to talk about him for several minutes, swerving left toward the bright, kinetic John F. Kennedy painted by the abstract expressionist Elaine de Kooning and then crossing right to view Kehinde Wiley's portrait of Barack Obama-a calm, floating, saintlike figure surrounded by leaves and flowers.

But with insufficient military hardware in the region, warnings from allies like Israel and Saudi Arabia, concern among top aides about the implications and effectiveness of the strike options, and secret backchannel talks with the Iranians, he chose not to pull the trigger. This account of Trump's decision-making over the past ten days is based on interviews with four U.S. officials, two Israeli officials and two other sources with knowledge of the behind-the-scenes discussions.

Screenshot/White House Dr. Mehmet Oz was loudly condemned for referring to robot ultrasounds as pretty cool on Friday, with many Democrats highlighting a lack of doctors that forced the use of machines in healthcare. Oz, who runs the nation's Medicare and Medicaid programs, joined the visibly bored President Donald Trump and other healthcare advisers for a roundtable discussion about health care in rural America.

The Justice Department is investigating whether Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey have impeded federal immigration enforcement through public statements they have made, two people familiar with the matter said Friday. The investigation, which both Walz and Frey said was a bullying tactic meant to threaten political opposition, focused on potential violation of a conspiracy statute, the people said.

This case involves six individual plaintiffs, and Minneapolis, St. Paul and state officials have filed a separate lawsuit that seeks to end the ICE surge. Driving the news: U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez barred ICE agents from arresting or pepper spraying people for simply observing or criticizing the federal government's actions. The judge also ruled that safely following ICE vehicles does not on its own justify a traffic stop, protecting an increasingly common tactic used by Minnesotans to track raids in the Twin Cities.

Ridge, a moderate Republican and a Vietnam vet with a square jaw and gentle manner, was the governor of Pennsylvania when nearly 3,000 Americans were killed on September 11, 2001. The nation was gripped with fear and horror, and President George W. Bush put the bipartisanship-seeking Ridge in charge of making sure there wouldn't be another terrorist strike. The new Cabinet-level entity that he would lead mashed together more than 20 federal agencies under one Orwellian name.
