Mandatory Credit: Lon Horwedel-Imagn Images Lon Horwedel-Imagn ImagesBy now, Astros fans have likely seen the wave of national articles and social media posts projecting Houston’s starting rotation for the 2026 season. Every projected Astros starter being discussed is right-handed. That’s not to say the projected rotation lacks quality. The Astros have already indicated that early-season scheduling, injury management, and workload concerns will lead them to deploy a six-man rotation.

What is a photo, @WhiteHouse edition. After Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem posted a photo of Nekima Levy Armstrong’s arrest in connection to a Minnesota church protest against ICE, someone behind the White House account on X decided to post a version edited to make it look like she had been crying.

FIRST ON FOX: President Donald Trump is suing JPMorgan Chase and its CEO Jamie Dimon in a $5 billion lawsuit filed Thursday, accusing the financial institution of debanking him for political reasons. TRUMP SAYS HE WILL SUE JPMORGAN CHASE OVER ‘INCORRECT’ POST-JAN 6 DEBANKING"We set high expectations and hold ourselves accountable. "Despite claiming to hold these principles dear, JPMC violated them by unilaterally—and without warning or remedy—terminating several of Plaintiff’s bank accounts," the lawsuit claims. A JPMorgan Chase spokesperson told Fox News Digital Thursday, "While we regret President Trump has sued us, we believe the suit has no merit. Trump had been a customer of JPMorgan for decades, and he and his affiliated entities "have transacted hundreds of millions of dollars" through JPMorgan Chase, according to the lawsuit.

To developers eyeing D.C.’s Southwest, the Cohen Building is an imposition on prime real estate. Much like the unassuming exterior of the Sistine Chapel, the humble facade of the Cohen Building disguises the art trove it holds. In 2007, the Cohen Building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, but such a designation doesn’t exempt it from the wrecking ball. “For all the stuff that the New Deal created — art, theater, literature, archives, museum collections — there is no New Deal art museum. The Abstract Expressionist Arshile Gorky famously called New Deal art “poor art for poor people,” Murphy notes.

It is hard to keep the scale of what the Trump administration is building in your mind all at once. But that approach was to minimize the kinds of chaos that we’re seeing ice really invite now. Something I’ve been tracking often with the Trump administration is the way it uses spectacle as policy, spectacle as message. And we are seeing significant challenges in federal court to some of what the Trump administration is trying to do. They don’t really make sense as a foreign policy initiative, but they’re very intimidating I’ve been thinking about something.

Long in the making, And many countries have just received their notice, and everybody wants to be a part of it. And we’ll work with many others, including the United Nations.” “Congratulations, President Trump. The charter is now in full force, and the Board of Peace is now an official international organization.” [applause] “We’re going to be very successful in Gaza. Once this board is completely formed, we can do pretty much whatever we want to do, and we’ll do it in conjunction with the United Nations. You know, I’ve always said the United Nations has got tremendous potential.

Because I have absolutely no trouble falling asleep, I didn’t realise for years that my 3am wakeups actually constituted a form of insomnia (sleep maintenance insomnia, to be precise). Both have stuck, but what about my now months-long habit of taking a daily vitamin D supplement daily? Amy Glover / HuffPost UK Vitamin DAdvertisementWait, does vitamin D help with sleep? It’s even been linked to obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), though that’s a bit of a “chicken and egg” scenario – maybe OSA causes vitamin D deficiency, a 2024 paper said, or maybe the lack of vitamin D raises OSA risk. AdvertisementEither way, a 2022 review and meta-analysis of studies found that vitamin D supplementation seemed to be linked to better sleep quality.

Vance was in Minnesota for the administration today, trying to regain control of the narrative about the violence perpetrated there by agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Jon Seidel of the Chicago Sun-Times noted that 31 Chicagoans have been charged with nonimmigration crimes tied to the federal action there. What I did say is that when federal law enforcement officers violate the law that’s typically something federal officials would look into. After news of the poll dropped, Trump’s social media account posted that “Fake and Fraudulent Polling should be, virtually, a criminal offense. As an example, all of the Anti Trump Media that covered me during the 2020 Election showed Polls that were knowingly wrong.

You have a federal law enforcement official engaging in federal law enforcement action. That’s a federal issue. That guy is protected by absolute immunity. No, I didn’t say — and I don’t think any other official within the Trump administration said that officers who engaged in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity. What I did say is that when federal law enforcement officers violate the law, that is typically something that federal officials would look into.

Former special counsel Jack Smith, who brought two now-defunct criminal cases against President Donald Trump, defended the integrity of his investigation during a combative hearing Thursday on Capitol Hill. “I am not a politician, and I have no partisan loyalties,” Smith told the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday. But Smith withdrew both cases after Trump’s 2024 election victory, citing longstanding Justice Department rules against prosecuting a sitting president. Here are takeaways on Smith’s major hearing on Thursday. Hearing draws notable attendeesFour former police officers who defended the Capitol on January 6 were in the room to watch the hearing.

Trump deciding to wind back on tariffs on countries opposed his takeover of Greenland reduced the pressure at a hastily arranged summit of EU leaders. "We engaged very actively with the United States on various levels," European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told reporters following the summit. "The European way of life is different than the American way of life," said European Council President Antonio Costa. So, the other question is whether it was the EU that prompted the US president to change his mind. "Trump probably just invented his deal so it didn't look so bad when he U-turned," one EU diplomat told DW on the sidelines of the EU summit.

There’s a winter storm brewing that promises to blanket Texas to Washington, DC, in heavy snow and dangerous amounts of ice. Don’t just plan for power outages. Do plan for days of isolationThis storm is extreme, but even moderate winter storms can knock out electricity, especially when ice or heavy snow is involved. You should aim for at least three days of food and water for everyone in your household, including pets. Disposable plates, cups and flatware can be useful to have on hand, too, if you’re without power or water.

Jen Psaki roasted President Donald Trump after a gaffe-packed speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. MS NowMS Now host Jen Psaki had plenty of material to pick from as she roasted President Donald Trump over a rambling speech he delivered on Wednesday during the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. “I mean, I thought the territory that you wanted to take over is Greenland, not Iceland,” the pundit continued.
