Trump says no to low-income housing in fire-ravaged Pacific Palisades

President Donald Trump reiterated that he doesn’t want the construction of low-income housing in the Pacific Palisades area of Los Angeles, as it slowly recovers from last year's deadly wildfires.
During his first administration Cabinet meeting of the year on Jan. 29, Trump tapped into his real estate expertise, saying he's not going to allow it happen in the beach-adjacent community known for its upscale, expensive housing. The Palisades Fire, which killed 12 people, burned more than 23,000 acres, including nearly 7,000

Trump stirs talk of 'new world order' as leaders signal shifting global alliances

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump gives. And he takes away.
Offended by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's increasingly ***** ertive posture toward the U.S., Trump revoked an invitation to join his Board of Peace. Many Western allies are suspicious of the organization, which is chaired by Trump and was initially formed to focus on maintaining the ceasefire in Israel's war with Hamas but has grown into something skeptics fear could rival the United Nations.

Videos have emerged showing a scuffle between Border Patrol agents and the man in the lead up to the shooting. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said the agents fired in self-defence

President Trump cautioned Josh Shapiro about running for president, telling him the job is "very, very dangerous," the Pennsylvania governor said in an interview with CBS News.
Shapiro said Trump called him to check in with him a week after his home was set on fire last spring. The attack came just hours after his family celebrated the Jewish holiday of Passover.
Shapiro said he initially sent the president's call to voicemail after seeing an unknown number. When he called back, he was surprised to hear Mr. Trump's vo

HAMMONTON, N.J. (AP) — Two helicopters crashed midair in New Jersey on Sunday, killing one person and critically injuring another, authorities say.
Hammonton Police Chief Kevin Friel said rescuers responded to a report of an aviation crash at about 11:25 a.m. Video from the scene shows a helicopter spinning rapidly to the ground. Police and fire crews subsequently extinguished flames that engulfed one of the helicopters.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — The moon and sun share top billing in 2026.
Kicking off the year’s cosmic wonders is the moon, drawing the first astronauts to visit in more than 50 years as well as a caravan of robotic lunar landers including Jeff Bezos’ new supersized Blue Moon. A supermoon looms on Jan. 3 and an astronomical blue moon is on the books for May.
The sun will also generate buzz with a ring-of-fire eclipse at the bottom of the world in February and a total solar eclipse at the top of the world in August. Expect more auroras in unexpected places, though perhaps not as frequently as

University of Georgia (UGA) Ph.D. candidate Erin Ulrey and a team of researchers sprinkled cracked corn over an open field at the Savannah River Site in Aiken, S.C., where they waited for wild turkeys to emerge from the hardwood forest.
"Some days, you may get lucky," said Ulrey. "Some days, you might not see any."
But food is scarce in the winter, and the turkeys are hungry. Once an unsuspecting flock waddled into their trap, the team fired a few rockets into the air, trapping about seven turkeys in a weighted net about the size of a backyard swimming pool.

Shares are more expensive than they look on the surface.
10 stocks we like better than Carnival Corp. ›
Long-term investing is the key to sustainable returns in the stock market, but sometimes it can backfire spectacularly. For example, if you purchased $1,000 of Carnival Corp. (NYSE: CCL) (NYSE: CUK) stock 10 years ago, you would have just over $500 today -- a loss of around 50%. That means more than a decade of growth and billions in stock buybacks essentially evaporated during the coronavirus pandemic.

Egypt found itself back on the international front pages in the second half of this year. The country played host to the Sharm el-Sheikh conference in October when US President Donald Trump rallied global and regional powers alike behind his ceasefire plan for the Gaza Strip. Shortly after, in November, Cairo invited world leaders to attend the spectacular opening of the new Grand Egyptian Museum next to the pyramids.
Amid these eye-catching events, other domestic developments have received less attention. Most notable were Egypt’s parliamentary elections, with the first round held in Novembe

Rarely does a blockbuster case that would radically alter the balance of power between the president and Congress come before the Supreme Court in which the outcome is already well-known. But that’s the case in Trump v.

Some like it hot. Really hot. But the prize goes to a tiny squirmy creature known as the fire amoeba of the Cascades, or Incendiamoeba casadensis. It is the most heat-loving eukaryotic organism on Earth.
Scientists recently discovered the hot-headed, single-celled organism in hot springs in Lassen Volcanic National Park and noted that it grows and divides at temperatures of up to 145 degrees Fahrenheit. In fact, this microscopic heat seeker doesn’t even start growing until ambient temperatures reach beyond 107 degrees.
Scientists recently described the creature in a new preprint, and their f

Witnesses urged to come forward after 3 kids killed in shooting at child's party

STOCKTON, Calif. (AP) — Authorities in California urged witnesses of a deadly shooting at a child's birthday party to come forward as the search for a suspect stretched into another day.
Three children ages 8, 9 and 14 and a 21-year-old were killed Saturday when gunfire broke out at a banquet hall in Stockton where at least 100 people were gathered, San Joaquin County Sheriff Patrick Withrow said. Detectives believe the gunfire continued outside and there may have been multiple shooters.

Green Fireball Explodes Above Great Lakes

A week ago, a bright green fireball shot across the sky above the Great Lakes in Michigan. At around 5:30 am, witnesses across Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin and Indiana saw the meteor leave a vivid green streak until Lake Huron, where it exploded.
More than 40 individuals logged eyewitness reports with NASA and captured images of the eerie meteor. At the time, many were unsure of what they were actually seeing, but scientists at NASA and the American Meteorological Society have confirmed that this was a fragment of a comet hurtling at roughly 160,000kp

A single-celled organism squirming about in the searing waters of California's Lassen Volcanic National Park has just set a record for heat tolerance.
The newly named Incendiamoeba cascadensis – meaning "fire amoeba from the Cascades", as described in a preprint on bioRxiv – grows and divides at temperatures up to 63 degrees Celsius (145 Fahrenheit), the highest known temperature for a eukaryotic organism.
Moreover, it doesn't start growing until temperatures reach at least 42 degrees Celsius. This makes it an obligate thermophile – a creature that requires conditions far hotter than most eu

The suspected gunman, 29-year-old Rahmanullah Lakanwal, is accused of firing at two National Guard members, 20-year-old Sarah Beckstrom and 24-year-old Andrew Wolfe, on Wednesday afternoon.
