LOADING ERROR LOADINGABOARD AIR FORCE ONE (AP) — President Donald Trump said the U.S. was beginning to talk with Cuban leaders as his administration is putting greater pressure on the communist-run island and cutting off key oil supplies. It comes in the wake of his moves in recent weeks to cut off supplies of oil from Venezuela and Mexico, which he suggested Saturday would force Cuba to the negotiating table.

This past week, Trump signed an executive order to impose a tariff on any goods from countries that sell or provide oil to Cuba. The move put pressure on Mexico, which Cuba became dependent on for oil after Trump halted oil shipments from Venezuela in the wake of Maduro’s ouster.

With Ozzy Trapilo going down due to a serious patellar tendon injury that will require a long recovery, this team’s left tackle for the 2026 season might not be on the roster. The Bears’ draft position and the lack of amazing tackle options leaves them in something of a bind, though. That said, Chicago had excellent luck with Trapilo, who no doubt would’ve been the team’s starting left tackle heading into 2026 had he remained healthy. Aside from that, perhaps the Bears could see if massive Northwestern left tackle Caleb Tiernan (6-7, 325 pounds) is worth a look. But this team can’t abandon its mission to lock down its left tackle spot.

If you’re planning to visit one of the 11 most popular national parks in the U.S., staff might ask a question that could be disquieting: Are you an American citizen? The updates to visitor verification and fees was announced in November by the Trump administration, which said that beginning Jan. 1 it would implement “America-first” entry fee policies. When you present your pass, or if you purchase one at a park entrance, staff must ask for your identification and determine your citizenship status. You will only be asked your citizenship status, by way of ID verification, when buying or using an annual pass, officials say. The agency’s updated policy is that all digital-pass holders must show a photo identification matching the name on the pass.

Democrat Christian Menefee, a former Harris County Attorney, won the special election runoff in Texas’ 18th Congressional District, ending a long vacancy and narrowing Speaker Mike Johnson’s razor-thin majority in the US House. Texas’ 18th Congressional District has been empty since March following former Rep. Sylvester Turner’s death — and 13 of the last 18 months in total. The first round of the special election to replace Greene takes place in March with a potential runoff to follow in April. There’s also an April special election for the New Jersey seat vacated by Democrat Mikie Sherrill after she was elected governor. The 18th District was made even more Democratic and absorbed much of the current 9th District, which became Republican-leaning.

Ok I’m unsure on this so take it with a grain of salt but there might be a surprise performer. But producers did say there would be 18-19 performances and we’ve had either 17 or 18 performances announced (depending on if Rosé and Bruno performances are considered separate or not) so maybe. Full quote is this:“He also has a potential surprise performance planned à la the Weeknd’s appearance in 2025, which wasn’t announced in advance. “It would be my preference to announce it, if I’m honest, but it might end up having to be a surprise,” Winston says of whatever he has in the works for Sunday. “Sometimes artists are like, ‘Don’t say,’ I think because they want the audience to be surprised.

Supplied The authorI remember the moment my daughter, Grace, gave our family the phrase that changed how we live with grief. Grace, who was 12, listened to us talking and then said, carefully, “Dad, what if we did something different? Since then, the “Happy Sad Day” has become our family’s annual ritual. The guilt Grace described, the fear of forgetting, the sense that sorrow is a duty, is a common trap. Our day is a reminder that we are different now, but also that different does not only mean diminished.

Lemon, now an independent journalist, livestreamed a protest against Trump's deployment of thousands of armed immigration agents into Democratic-governed Minnesota's biggest cities. The protest disrupted a 18 January service at Cities Church in St Paul. Dressed in a cream-coloured double-breasted suit, Lemon spoke only to say "yes, your honour" when asked if he understood the proceedings. Six other people who were at the protest, including another journalist, are facing the same charges. Trump, who has castigated the protesters in Minnesota, blamed the Cities Church protest on "agitators and insurrectionists" who he said wanted to intimidate Christian worshippers.
