Videos emerged almost instantly of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent shooting and killing a motorist. Trump critics tended to quickly label it murder, arguing the fleeing woman was turning her car away from the officers. Americans have been quite skeptical of ICE for much of the past year. The same UMass poll also showed they opposed ICE using military-grade weapons 55%-30% and using physical force with protesters 54%-31%. But there is also some potential danger for Democrats in looking too sympathetic toward the woman, if Americans don’t come to echo that sympathy.

MORGANTOWN, Pa. — The Trump administration says it is focused on protecting unaccompanied migrant children. License revokedIn November, Pennsylvania revoked one of the three licenses held by different units within the Morgantown facility, Abraxas Academy. Wolozin, who interviewed five of the migrant boys but has not reviewed their files, said one appeared to have severe cognitive disabilities. The vast majority of the migrant children in government custody live in shelters where they move freely around a campus. Community activists pressured city and state officials to stop jailing migrant children there, citing lawsuits and the growing costs of defending against them.

LOADING ERROR LOADINGWASHINGTON – President Donald Trump may be losing his mojo on Capitol Hill. Meanwhile, dozens of House Republicans voted to override Trump’s vetoes on two separate pieces of legislation that passed unanimously last year. The others downplayed Trump’s attack, in yet another sign that Republicans may be getting more comfortable ignoring his outbursts. (Another theory for Trump’s veto is that he’s mad Colorado won’t release from prison Tina Peters, one of his false electors from the 2020 election.) The House later overwhelmingly supported the effort, in yet another embarrassing rebuke of Trump, who fought the release of the files every step of the way.

The main mansion reaches 70 feet on the south side, according to the White House Historical Association. Baranes told the panel that the White House had abandoned plans to make the ballroom larger. Commission Vice Chair Stuart Levenbach praised the plans, saying such an addition to the White House was needed. The commission’s membership now tilts heavily toward Trump, including two other White House officials and nine Cabinet members. The Trump White House has compressed or bypassed some of those steps.

ingwervanille via Getty Images The flu tends to come on faster and stronger than a common cold. While many flu symptoms overlap with the signs of other respiratory viruses, you can’t tell which virus you have unless you take a flu or COVID test. It’s important to contact your doctor when you notice early flu symptoms. The flu vaccine reduces the risk of hospitalization or severe disease, and also decreases the length of time that you’re sick. “Getting vaccinated can reduce your likelihood of having a second flu through the course of the flu season,” Hopkins said.

LOADING ERROR LOADINGWASHINGTON – The House of Representatives on Thursday passed a three-year extension of expanded Affordable Care Act health insurance subsidies that had lapsed at the beginning of the year in a rebuke to House GOP leaders and President Donald Trump. AdvertisementThursday’s bipartisan House vote resulted from four Republicans signing on to a Democratic “discharge petition,” a legislative tool that allows lawmakers to circumvent the majority party’s leadership team, which normally controls action on the House floor. While the shutdown utterly failed to “save health care,” as Democrats had hoped, it succeeded in raising awareness that more than 20 million people would see their health insurance premium costs increase by 100% or more this year. Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.), one of the moderate House Republicans who signed the discharge petition, said he thinks of Thursday’s vote as a way to spur negotiations. Lawler and several other moderate House Republicans last year worked on bills that would extend the subsidies for less than three years, with income limits and other changes designed to reduce the cost of the extension.

LOADING ERROR LOADINGWorking parents, child care center operators and their advocates have all reacted with alarm to the Trump administration’s plan to withhold federal child care funding from blue states, warning that low-income families and child care workers will bear the brunt of a political attack. Around 23,000 kids in Minnesota benefit from the state’s child care assistance program, which passes federal money along to child care centers that serve low-income families. Ruth Friedman, a child care expert at the left-leaning Century Foundation, said it might not be easy to satisfy the administration’s demands. AdvertisementLydia Boerboom, an organizer at Kids Count On Us, a Minnesota-based nonprofit that advocates for child care funding, said the vast majority of care providers are aboveboard and want any fraud rooted out of the system. “There has been a very coordinated effort to make sure that child care is being defunded at every level possible right now.”Elliot Haspel, an expert on early childhood education, said allegations of widespread fraud in the Minnesota child care system date back to at least 2019.

‘Autofocus’ glasses can change their lenses in real timePhoto: MGN/Vecteezy(CNN) — Finnish eyewear company IXI is gearing up to launch smart glasses that look just like ordinary spectacles, but are able to “autofocus” based on the perceived needs of the wearer. The glasses contain eye-tracking sensors as well as liquid crystals in the lenses, which are used to change the prescription instantaneously. Other companies are also developing autofocus glasses that use liquid crystals to create an adaptive lens, including Japan’s Elcyo. Another Japanese company, ViXion, already sells autofocusing glasses, although they don’t look like normal glasses and the user must look through two small apertures to get the autofocus effect. Eiden equates the arrival of autofocus glasses to the introduction of autofocus in cameras: “The eyewear industry hasn’t really been innovating for vision correction,” he said.

The three dots sending BTS fans wildBTS is poised for a huge 2026, reuniting after an almost four-year hiatus. And the band has signaled its long-awaited comeback with three mysterious red circles. The symbols first appeared on a postcard sent by the K-pop stars to their “Gold” fans – some of the most dedicated among their fanbase, which is known as ARMY. Since then, BTS has announced a new album, and next week will release world tour dates. In the meantime, ARMY has tried to decode the symbols’ hidden meaning.

I got a front row seat to the dysfunction of our current insurance system. This visceral experience of what so many of my friends, neighbors and constituents went through drove me to run for California Insurance Commissioner. Reform FAIR PlanThe FAIR Plan, the state’s backup insurer of last resort, was meant to be temporary but has tripled in size to now cover 450,000 residential policyholders. In the short term, the FAIR Plan must be solvent and able to pay claims promptly, with improved governance and transparency. We also shouldn’t be building uninsurable new developments that are simply destined for the FAIR Plan and further public bailouts.
