President Donald Trump declared on Wednesday evening that he would "terminate" federal funding for the Gateway Project, which aims to build the first new set of Hudson River train tunnels in over a century. If he gets his way, he'll leave a new mark on the region in the form of a pair of unfinished holes on either side of the river - one in North Bergen, another on Manhattan's West Side - along with three other active construction sites that would be abandoned.
Responding to criticism from lawmakers, Camp Pendleton says it will not seek to shut down all or part of Interstate 5 on Saturday when it stages a live-fire amphibious assault exercise in the presence of Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. All training events will occur on approved training ranges and comport with established safety protocols, the base said in a statement issued at 10 p.m. on Wednesday. No public highways or transportation routes will be closed.
Kaine said concerns about war in the Latin American region are growing. "The pace of the announcements, the authorization of covert activities and the military planning makes me think there's some chance this could be imminent," Kaine told reporters. This week, Trump said the U.S. had conducted another military strike on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean and announced that he had authorized CIA operations in Venezuela. He also said he was considering land operations in the country.
The big picture: The drop in workers could alter the nation's projected demographics and make it difficult to revive manufacturing jobs - or to attract workers in health, agriculture and energy as the population ages. Projected new workers entering the workforce wouldn't fully make up the difference, leading to the net reductions, per the National Foundation for American Policy, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank that focuses on trade and immigration.
LeadershipCuomo, who left the New York governor's mansion in August 2021 amid sexual harassment allegations, was quick to attack Mamdani, saying the New York assemblyman's inexperience makes him unfit to oversee a 300,000-employee city workforce and a multi-billion-dollar budget. "This is no job for on-the-job training," he said. "And if you look at the failed mayors they're ones that have no management experience. Don't do it again."
We are in an era of strategic silence-no longer in the age of the activist CEO. Instead, business leaders are being told to lie low and stay in their lane to avoid unwanted attention, including from the White House. In the wake of Jimmy Kimmel's removal from ABC, CEOs are reportedly turning down press and speaking opportunities. Today, leaders are faced with the question of when to speak up . . . and when to stay strategically silent in order to protect their constituents.
Facts are becoming less sacred by the day in Donald Trump's US, where many of his supporters now deny the very existence of truths. To them, inconvenient evidence is by definition bias. His followers and those who fear his fist are falling into line: media, universities and that infamous regiment of tech zillionaires who stood right behind him on inauguration day.
Trump officials became concerned when Trump asked if he could get a reverse mortgage on the White House and one of those Terry Bradshaw walk-in tubs, Kimmel joked. The report noted that Trump probably sent the national guard to Portland, Oregon, based on footage he saw on Fox News of the Black Lives Matter protests from summer 2020, mistaking them for current unrest. He still might think that's happening in real time, said Kimmel. He's on a five-year delay from the rest of us.
While ICE personnel have been using chemical agents, rubber bullets, pepper balls, and other "non-lethal" ammunition on protesters, Portlanders have been donning dinosaur costumes, clown outfits, and pied-piper paraphernalia or have been shedding their clothes and cycling naked before the camo-wearing government thugs. Others have put on PJs and distributed doughnuts in the early mornings to the bemused defenders of the home front. Protest costumes are even being given away for free on the streets.
When my uncle was president, the fertility rate in this country was 3.5%. Today, it is 1.6%. The replacement rate, in other words the amount of fertility that you need in order to keep your population even, is 2.1%. We are below replacement right now. That is a national security threat to our country and we know why this is happening, and President Trump is addressing the root causes through his MAHA agenda of reducing endocrine disruptors, the exposure to chemicals that decrease fertility.
Jones added: Let me be very clear I am ashamed, I am embarrassed, and I am sorry. I am sorry to Speaker Gilbert, I am sorry to his family. I'm sorry to my family and I'm sorry to every single Virginian. I cannot take back what I said, but you have my word that I will always be accountable for my mistakes, and you also have my word that I will spend every waking moment fighting for you.
Detroit Metropolitan Airport has placed signs at the entrances to its security checkpoints, making clear that it doesn't approve of the video message. But because the areas are leased by the Transportation Security Administration, the airport operator isn't in charge of those screens. A bright yellow sign, with "attention" written in all caps, says, "The views expressed in this TSA-controlled video do not represent the views of the Wayne County Airport Authority." "The Wayne County Airport Authority does not engage in partisan politics," it adds.
I live in Chicago, if folks haven't noticed, and I'm not blind, right? Ellis opened the hearing. So, I don't live in a cave. I have a phone. I have a TV. I have a computer and I tend to get news. The judge said those news reports were leading her to believe the Trump administration may not be following her instructions. At least from what I'm seeing, I'm having serious concerns that my order's being followed, said Ellis from the bench.
The Washington Post's media reporter Scott Nover detailed exactly who was left to cover the largest government agency. Pro-MAGA outlets The Federalist, the Epoch Times, and OAN all signed Hegseth's pledge, which said that journalists are banned from soliciting or obtaining any information that is not pre-approved by the Pentagon. Nover reported on the other remaining people in the building: A reporter for the Turkish newspaper Aksam signed the agreement, as did three individuals from the Turkish state-run Anadolu Agency and two Turkish freelancers.
CHICAGO It's a sunny October morning, and Yackson is waiting for a bus that will take him to meet his immigration attorney. The Venezuelan, who NPR is identifying by his first name because of his immigration status, looks at a big, run-down apartment building in front of him. Earlier this month, it was raided by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents who landed a helicopter on the roof, and arrested more than 30 people. Yackson, 39, says he's terrified.
The latest: Holsey, in a statement shared on X, said he was retiring from the Navy in mid-December after decades of service. "The SOUTHCOM team has made lasting contributions to the defense of our nation and will continue to do so," he said. Holsey did not directly address the boat strikes in his message.
