I wanted to be a journalist in college, but I kept crying when I listened to NPR, so I chose comedy instead. Originally from North Carolina, Gabe, who played drums, moved to Los Angeles just a year prior with his two musician brothers. Soon after, my sister told me she had seen Gabe on a dating app. My sister told me he was on Hinge. When I think of foregoing a baby for a comedy career, I think: What career?

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos denied claims Thursday that he has blocked evidence from the FBI, thereby slowing the investigation into the suspected kidnapping of Nancy Guthrie. Crime: New Surveillance Images Show Masked, Armed Subject In Nancy Guthrie DisappearanceDoor-cam images emerged of an armed masked person with gloves at Nancy Guthrie’s Tucson-area home, and authorities have recently discovered gloves in the area that they hope are tied to the alleged abduction. “Actually the FBI just wanted to send the one or two they found by the crime scene, closest to it – mile, mile and a half,” he told KVOA. Guthrie, the mother of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie, has not been seen since the night of Jan. 31. People gather in a prayer vigil for Nancy Guthrie at the entrance of her residence on Thursday.

Preventing racial profilingRepublicans have argued that recent Supreme Court rulings have allowed immigration enforcement to target people based on how they look or what language they speak. Richard Tsong-Taatarii/The Minnesota Star Tribune/Getty ImagesDemocrats are pushing to create a new system for accountability for immigration enforcement. Likewise, the Quinnipiac poll showed Americans said 61%-25% that the administration hadn’t given an honest account of Pretti’s killing.

Kennedy was sworn in as the nation’s top health official one year ago, following contentious confirmation hearings in the Senate. Brad Smith, who served as a top health official in the first Trump administration, had privately assessed HHS’s operations in recent weeks and recommended staffing changes, according to two people. That work helped boost their standing at the White House, according to three of the people. “They’ve had plenty of victories,” said a White House official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss personnel changes. They accused Kennedy of “weaponizing public health for political gain” and “putting millions of American lives at risk” by purging health officials from government.

While White House border czar Tom Homan announced Thursday morning the federal immigration surge in Minnesota would be ending, state officials were facing tough questions about the circumstances that led to that crackdown in the first place. Those officials, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and the state’s corrections commissioner, Paul Schnell, in turn blasted the Trump administration for the way it has conducted itself in their state. Walz said the surge did serious economic damage to the state and said he would seek repayment. “You don’t get to break things and then just leave without doing something about it.”And while Homan was speaking in Minneapolis, top Minnesota officials testifying in Washington said the damage had already been done. Johnson said it was no wonder that ICE officers were on “hair-trigger alert” considering the number of people who opposed them and sometimes confronted them during operations.

“We can barely afford food, let alone medications.”Somehow, Omar scraped together money for the antibiotics, which the clinic staff administered. “You feel helpless,” said Areeda Fadhli, the 53-year-old medical assistant managing the clinic, as she shifted the pillow away to look at Rania’s face. “We’re trying to stretch them as much as possible.”The contractions in Yemen reflect a wider ravaging of foreign assistance worldwide. In 2025, the U.S. pledged $3.4 billion in global aid, a fraction of the $14.1 billion funded under President Biden. The result, the U.N. says, is that 453 health facilities have faced partial or imminent closure across the country, including hospitals, primary health centers and mobile clinics.

The Trump administration this week began cuts to $600 million in funding used to track and prevent HIV and STDs in four Democrat-led states. Cuts began the week of February 9 and are expected to continue over the next several weeks. Historically, the groups used the money to study the spread of HIV and STDs, track outbreaks or offer pre-exposure prophylaxis. Some funding cuts would also apply to groups that supported children's gender transition or provided social programs for LGBTQ+ adults. He is using federal funding to compel states and jurisdictions to follow his agenda," Bonta said.
