CHRIS COONS: Director, I have to ask you one last question. You attended the Olympics in Milan. How much did your trip cost? And to what extent did that help you carry out your mission as director of the FBI? KASH PATEL: I greatly appreciate the question, senator. As you know, the FBI and [Department of Homeland Security] are responsible for the security of the Olympics, the World Cup, the F1, the Super Bowl, and everything else. We had 250,000 Americans travel to Milan. We're proud that we stood up our jock there and had zero major security incidences involving American citizens.
Growing up, Kevin Gonzalez, 18, dreamed of going to college and becoming a lawyer. But as he lay in a hospital bed in Chicago this winter, his gaunt frame ravaged by colon cancer, those aspirations narrowed to one final wish: seeing his parents before he died. Fulfilling that dream meant a desperate fight against time in his final weeks of life as his father, Isidoro Gonzales Aviles, and his mother, Norma Anabel Ramirez Amaya, sat in President Trump's immigration-detention system.
“Marty is a great guy. He's a friend of mine. He's a wonderful man, and he's going to be off and the assistant, the deputy, is taking over temporarily,” Trump said. “He was having some difficulty, you know, he's a great doctor, and he was having some difficulty. But he's going to go on and he's going to do well.”

“The mass deportations in Trump 2.0 are not helping the labor market overall and not creating more job opportunities for U.S.-born workers,” East says. In fact, she and her co-author find evidence that, if anything, the clampdown has hurt the employment prospects of U.S.-born workers, particularly working-class men who work in industries that are heavily reliant on undocumented workers, like construction.
The European Union unanimously agreed on Monday to impose new sanctions on the leaders of the Palestinian militant Hamas group and the Israeli settler movement, diplomats said, a decision sparked by growing outrage over the devastation in Gaza during the Israel-Hamas war. However, the foreign ministers of the 27-nation bloc meeting in Brussels stopped short of endorsing stronger economic measures against the Israeli government, sought by some in Europe. Though Monday's meeting resulted in political agreement, the EU still has to settle on which organizations and individuals will be hit with sanctions, and a committee will finalize the draft list.
Eileen Wang, who was elected to the City Council in November 2022, entered into a plea agreement with prosecutors over charges that she acted under the control of the People's Republic of China to promote propaganda in the U.S. between 2020 and 2022, according to the unsealed court filing.
A federal appeals court has temporarily halted Thursday's scheduled execution of Texas death row inmate Edward Busby, citing concerns over his eligibility for capital punishment because of intellectual disability. The 2-1 decision by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is in place "pending further order" of the court. Busby argued that a federal district court improperly denied the inmate's request for funding to test him for intellectual disability. The appeal also provided two new tests from experts, including one provided by the state, that his lawyers argue prove Busby is intellectually disabled.
“I had my car and a basket of clothes,” Roberts recalled. “Medical bills were not something I could have afforded.” Roberts sought financial assistance from CentraCare, the St. Cloud-based health system that treated her. It's a nonprofit charity that receives millions of dollars in federal, state, and local tax breaks. In exchange, it's obliged to offer charity care to patients who can't afford their medical bills. But Roberts said CentraCare told her she made too much to qualify.

The evidence NAD+ is a crucial molecule that has many functions in the body. It's deeply involved in how our mitochondria produce energy and helps our cells survive and stay healthy, including by repairing our DNA. The field of longevity research has homed in on NAD+ as a potential therapy because of evidence that our levels decline as we get older, which may also contribute to the risks of age-related diseases, says Dr. Shalender Bhasin, who directs the Boston Pepper Aging Research Center at Brigham and Women's Hospita
When Rachel Negro-Henderson started shopping at Aldi regularly during the pandemic a change her family made when her husband lost his income as a crew coach she'd sometimes have awkward run-ins with acquaintances. "People would not want to talk about why they were here, like it was a mistake," the healthcare administrator said. "They just stumbled into a grocery store because they needed a tomato." But after just a few years, those interactions have changed.
The biggest threat stems from homegrown violent extremists, often lone actors that may have become radicalized online by extreme political views or jihadists such as the Islamic State (Isis), said four counter-terror experts interviewed. We need to protect not only each venue, but all the other links in the chain that get to the point of the game, said Javed Ali, associate professor at the University of Michigan, who previously served in the FBI, Department of Homeland Security, and as national security council senior director for counter-terrorism.

Maxwell was mysteriously transferred to the prison in 2025, a transfer that raised questions with critics since the sex trafficker was being relocated to a minimum security prison camp.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested hundreds of Iranian nationals during the U.S.'s June 2025 war on Iran, according to government data released to the National Iranian American Council under a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. The National Iranian American Council (NIAC) filed a FOIA request in October 2025 after reports revealed the U.S. had deported dozens of Iranian nationals - including some who could face threats from the Iranian government if sent back to Iran.
