CNN's Antonia Mortensen reports.
Following the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE officer in Minneapolis, prominent right-wing figures including Matt Walsh and President Trump attacked her character. “This is not ideological conservatives versus ideological liberals. What it is is something much, much more unwieldy and difficult to understand,” says Mark Brockway, assistant teaching professor of political science. It’s division, sure, but it’s division based entirely around the idea of “the fight,” Brockway says.

Trump tells CNN he would strike Iran if they targeted USPresident Donald Trump told CNN reporter Kit Maher that Iran would face strikes “like they’ve never been hit before” if it targeted US military or commercial bases. It comes after Trump threatened intervening in Iran amid a deadly crackdown on anti-government protests there. Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump also said he plans to discuss the use of Starlink with Elon Musk as Iranians endure an internet blackout.
When asked by reporters if he believes the Justice Department's investigation into Jerome Powell undermines confidence in the Federal Reserve, President Donald Trump relied on one of his favorite comebacks: name-calling. "Well, he's billions of dollars over budget. So he is either incompetent or he's crooked," the president said Tuesday of Powell, referring to cost overruns related to renovating the Fed headquarters. Powell does not control federal construction costs, nor is the renovation billions over budget. Trump did not discuss how the cost of his own White House ballroom project had doubled to approximately $400 million.
But the “Sell America” trade was muted Monday, with US stocks recovering initial losses and closing higher. The Dow gained 86 points, or 0.17%, to close at a record high, recouping losses after falling almost 500 points earlier. Stock market investors for now are shrugging off the Justice Department’s investigation into Powell. Fed independence is considered a cornerstone of what makes US financial markets exceptional. Markets had brief moments of panic in 2025 as Trump openly criticized Powell, calling him “too late” and questioning the Fed chief’s ability to run the central bank.
Fox argues the Kuvshynovs signed a release waiving their right to sue and moved to dismiss the complaint. “When the Kuvshynovs signed the waiver and release, they were unrepresented, had just learned their daughter died, and were living in an active war zone,” Rosado wrote. In addition to wrongful death, the Kuvshynovs and Thomson claim that Fox committed fraud, intentional infliction of emotional distress, defamation and tortious interference. Neither a spokesperson for Fox News or its attorneys in the case responded to requests for comment. The court allowed the parents’ wrongful death claim to move forward under Ukrainian law.
Gavin Newsom on Friday doubled down on California’s commitment to electric vehicles with proposed rebates intended to backfill federal tax credits canceled by the Trump administration. The plan would allocate $200 million in one-time special funds for a new point-of-sale incentive program for light-duty zero-emissions vehicles. Last year, Trump ended federal tax credits of up to $7,500 for EV customers that were part of President Biden’s 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. In September, his administration also let lapse federal authorization for California’s Clean Air Vehicle decal program, which allowed solo EV drivers to use carpool lanes. That is exactly why California needs climate investments that are stable and ongoing,” said Sierra Club director Miguel Miguel.

But in between those two long tech booms, we saw the rise of customer service representatives - the fastest-growing job of many boomers’ careers. And for boomer women, the fastest-growing jobs look similar, dominated by customer service. But for many Gen-X and millennial women, the fastest-growing jobs was personal care aides. We see the same for construction and production careers - despite some recent shifts, 96 percent of construction workers are still male. That should give us something approaching a definitive picture of the fastest-growing and fastest-evaporating jobs of your working life.
Why Golden Globe winner Noah Wyle wanted ‘The Pitt’ to ‘put the spotlight back on first responders’In the press room, Noah Wyle spoke about how the seed for “The Pitt” was planted as he watched the American healthcare system attempt to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic. “I called John Wells and said, ‘I know you don’t want to do “ER” again, and I don’t either, but there might be another story to tell about what’s happening,’” he said. The Golden Globe winner added that as he filmed “The Pitt,” he realized the stark difference between the healthcare experiences of the country’s upper and lower classes. The latter, he said, “were getting some of the worst medical information given to them.”“So whether it was medical misinformation or a boarding crisis or a nursing shortage or morale fatigue,” Wyle said, “we wanted to put the spotlight back on first responders, talk about what they’ve been going through for the last five, six years, and, you know, in doing so, hopefully also come up with some remedies that we can improve the system and better support the people that are in those jobs.”

FEATUREResearch Fraud and the Role of the LIS Communityby Elaine M. LasdaResearch fraud is on the rise. ENTER GENERATIVE AIAlong with OA, critics point to generative AI (gen AI) as facilitating the research fraud phenomenon. Interestingly, the report discusses the need for information literacy in business, citing a former editor of Fortune and drawing from many examples where information literacy is key in a business context.
