"We all know we're at the point where we must do something to correct the chronic health problems that Americans face," Rollins said. Twelve states previously adopted waiver terms. Mehmet Oz, who runs Medicare and Medicaid, said states that ban junk food will get extra funds. "As the six documents here that were signed by Secretary Rollins today would attest, there's a lot of interest in this, you get paid extra money."
ByteDance and Alibaba have inquired with Nvidia about purchasing powerful H200 AI chips. This follows US President Trump's announcement that exports to China are once again possible. The Chinese tech companies want to place large orders, but are still waiting for approval from Beijing. This has been reported by sources to Reuters. The H200 is almost six times more powerful than the H20, the most advanced AI chip legally exported to China to date.
President Donald Trump and his administration have put forth a new proposal that would force visa-free visitors to the US to give immigration and customs authorities access to five years of their social media activity. The new proposal would affect people traveling to the US on a visa waiver provided by the so-called Electronic System for Travel Authorization, or ESTA, which requires applicants to provide personal information to US authorities and purchase the authorization for $40 (roughly 34) prior to travel.
Trump also claimed he was crushing inflation, and inflation is stopped. While inflation declined from an annual rate of 3% in January to 2.9% in August, it has remained ahead of the Federal Reserve's 2% target. Politico's poll also had more telling numbers about specific instances where Americans are having to forego vital services: 27 %, said they have skipped a medical check-up because of costs within the last two years, and 23 % said they have skipped a prescription dose for the same reason.
President Donald Trump attacks the press on pretty much a daily basis, lashing out at reporters who ask questions he doesn't like. He told one reporter to be quiet while calling her "piggy." He has called other reporters "nasty," "stupid," "ugly," "obnoxious" and terrible at their jobs. Often, he focuses on women. But no one is seemingly spared from his wrath when he gets a tough question.
In the Politico interview, Trump said: I inherited a mess. I inherited a total mess. Prices were at an all-time high when I came in. He also told Politico: If you think of gasoline a gallon, they had it at $4.50, almost $5.00. You go to some of the states, you had it at $6.00. We hit, uh, three states two days ago, $1.99 a gallon.
We think that they've done some really, really great things in there. But again, this is a really rare opportunity to attack some of those requirements that are most burdensome, that's what we try to identify in this letter - where can we go further in streamlining those requirements that really are the ones that add to the timelines, and that are the ones that disincentivize certain elements of industry from participating.
This money is going to be used by these soybean farmers, by the cotton farmers in the southeastern part of Missouri, by the corn farmers in Missouri to go and get those loans now from from the banks, because they were not going to be able to get these loans based on their losses and the help, the safety nets not being there.
(AP Photo/Matt Rourke) Vice President JD Vance brushed off online scrutiny over a viral photo, both unverified and of uncertain origin, claiming to show him arguing with his wife Usha at a restaurant. The image, which depicts Vance in a white T-shirt and Usha with her head bowed and hand to her face, triggered a familiar rush among political antagonists keen to diagnose the state of the couple's marriage.
And with our historic tariffs, steel production is roaring back. We're building steel mills all over the country, and U.S. Steel is coming back at a level never thought possible before. And I was up. And I was up here and with the workers and with Selena. Do you know Selena? Does everybody know? And with some other people. We were up with some great people, and we spent the whole day,
The Trump Administration announced the reversal of its proposed funding allocation in the Continuum of Care Program, which will restore billions of resources for the permanent housing necessary to avoid pushing 170,000 extremely low-income families out to the street. The Administration's withdrawal of its Notice of Funding Opportunity follows significant pressure by housing advocates including San Jose Congressman Sam Liccardo, who rallied 32 colleagues
It is worth reading the most recent NSS in its entirety. It is less polished than its predecessor, betrays little evidence of consultation, and is considerably shorter (33 as against 70 pages). It reads like time had run out and a deadline had been reached. It ends abruptly with a short discussion on Africa, this administration's least important region, without a proper conclusion.
It's fine. I don't care if Bill Ackmanwhatever Bill Ackman doesbut I know Bill Ackman. He's kind of dumb. He's not ever created anything. He's totally non-creative. How do these people wind up running our biggest institutions? Carlson fumed, adding: And the reason that's significant is because if you pay close enough attention and you realize that the people running everything are stupid, then you think, Well, actually, the system is truly rigged on behalf of people who do not deserve these positions at all.
The OBBBA's new deduction is worth $6,000 annually, and it is on top of other deductions retirees can claim, like the standard deduction available to all taxpayers. The new $6,000 deduction is available beginning in 2025 for taxpayers 65 and over, and married taxpayers who meet the age requirements can each claim the deduction, allowing them to save a total of $12,000 on their income taxes.
Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey has urged the prime minister to stand up to Donald Trump, describing the US president's new national security strategy as "deeply alarming". The document, which was published last week, warns Europe faces "civilisational erasure" and says US policy should prioritize "cultivating resistance to Europe's current trajectory". Sir Ed called on the PM to "make it clear to President Trump that any attempts to interfere with our democracy are totally unacceptable".
Yeah, we are the world's No. 1 bully, and we're using our immense, unrivaled power to rule over those who have less power. And we're doing it with impunity, declared Johnson. And this sends a shocking message to the world that America is indeed the-, what did they used to call? The great hand of Satan, or something like that? I mean, America under the Trump regime is demonstrating that that moniker was entirely accurate.
By the numbers: Two-thirds of Americans - including majorities of independents and many Republicans - support preserving the 14th Amendment's guarantee of citizenship to those born in the U.S., the survey found. Roughly 8 in 10 Black Protestants favor keeping birthright citizenship, and solid majorities of Hispanic Catholics and Hispanic Protestants support it as well. Even among Trump's most supportive religious constituency - white evangelical Protestants - 53% say the Constitution's guarantee should stand.
And it argued that when ICE assaults members of Congress it still must be treated as an assault on ICE unprotected by Speech and Debate. The Government respectfully asserts that any assault upon a federal officer should qualify as an act that is "clearly non-legislative" given that such an act is clearly an "illegitimate activity." And it would be clearly non-legislative whether the arrest that triggered the assault took place outside the Security Gate or inside of Delaney Hall.
Kamala Harris lost last year's US presidential election because she chased the wrong voters with the wrong message, ultimately demobilising the very base that she needed to win, according to an autopsy by a progressive grassroots advocacy group. The vice-president focused on courting moderate Republicans over motivating core Democratic working-class, young and progressive voters, a misstep compounded by her failure to break from Joe Biden on Gaza, says the report by RootsAction.
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services agency-which handles services including citizenship applications, family immigration, adoptions, and work permits for non-citizens-started the contract with Palantir at the end of October, and is paying the data analytics company to implement "Phase 0" of a "vetting of wedding-based schemes," or "VOWS" platform, according to the federal contract, which was posted to the U.S. government website and reviewed by Fortune.
His choice to employ rhetoric invoking violence, even for political grandstanding, carries real and dangerous consequences. Our foremost responsibility is to ensure that courthouse employees and every member of the public entering the Birch Building are safe and can access the justice system without fear of becoming casualties in what Mr. Ogles has described as a war' on elected officials.
