What might once have been a private athlete’s reflection instead escalated into a public confrontation between the president and his country’s Olympians. AdvertisementSeveral U.S. athletes moved to defend Hess, arguing that criticism of a competitor for voicing personal doubts cut against the country’s stated commitment to free speech. Advertisement“I choose to believe that I live in a country where people can express their opinions without backlash,” he said. U.S. Olympic cross-country skier Zak Ketterson had earlier called the backlash “pretty childish,” defending Hess’s right to speak openly. “That is true of athletes, that is of governors and it is true of presidents.

But if you look through the noise, you’ll find encouraging patterns that no one can stop. For example, a few weeks ago I started to see a particular phrase in news headlines. Other headlines crossed my desk in rapid succession:Most of those had to do with renewable energy, which … despite Trump … continues to grow because it just makes business, economic, and ethical sense. Still, it shows that we’re making progress despite all of that (and more). And do all of that despite Trump.

Jesse Boily/The Canadian Press/APPolice identified the alleged shooter in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, as Jesse Van Rootselaar, an 18-year-old female resident of the town who had “dropped out of school approximately four years ago.”Van Rootselaar “was not currently attending school,” Deputy Commissioner Dwayne McDonald told reporters Wednesday. Authorities found her dead, of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, in the school.

As fate would have it, not long after my time at the museum, I accepted a contract with the African American Leadership Alliance of Milwaukee, where Steven worked as the operations coordinator. We did everything together: dinners, museum visits, lunch breaks, and long phone calls sharing life stories and bad dating experiences. It was a testament to endurance, grace and what it truly means to stand beside the person you love through every season. Afterward, we went to a cozy Italian restaurant in Madison, where my daughter and Chauntel did most of the talking. Watching how comfortable my daughter was with Chauntel was the moment I knew she was the one.

Similarly, dozens of lawsuits from Trump’s campaign and allies failed after the 2020 election – nearly all of them, in fact. State officials in 2024 acknowledged a little more than 3,000 duplicate ballot images. But duplicate ballot images are not the same as counted votes, and officials couldn’t determine that any of them were actually tabulated in the recount. A local official cited human error for the duplicate ballot images. The statute of limitations is generally five years, and the 2020 election is now just outside that window.

A federal grand jury on Tuesday declined to indict Democratic lawmakers who posted a video urging service members and intelligence officials to disobey any illegal orders from the Trump administration, according to two people familiar with the matter. And while the indictment was rejected by the grand jury, it is also an extraordinary escalation of the Justice Department’s willingness to prosecute who speak about against President Donald Trump and his administration’s actions. As CNN previously reported, a grand jury previously declined to bring an indictment against Letitia James, the New York attorney general who defeated Trump and his company in court. “Today an American grand jury honored our Constitution by standing up to an outrageous abuse of presidential power and taxpayer dollars. And Houlahan similarly celebrated the grand jury, saying on X, “This is good news for the Constitution and the free speech protections it guarantees.

No wonder President Donald Trump is so worried about the midterm elections. He was so obviously uncomfortable, the White House had to offer him a vote of confidence amid calls for Lutnick’s resignation. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt’s frustration was evident in her reaction to the new attention on the commerce secretary. “Secretary Lutnick remains a very important member of President Trump’s team and the president fully supports the secretary,” she told reporters.
