Maxwell can clear president's name in exchange for clemency, attorney says

WASHINGTON (AP) — Ghislaine Maxwell, the former girlfriend of Jeffrey Epstein, declined to answer questions from House lawmakers in a deposition Monday, but indicated that if President Donald Trump ended her prison sentence, she was willing to testify that neither he nor former President Bill Clinton had done anything wrong in their connections with Epstein.
The House Oversight Committee had wanted Maxwell to answer questions during a video call to the federal prison camp in Texas where she’s serving a 20-year sente

Three million pages, 180,000 images and 2,000 videos were posted publicly on Friday.

Trump, unbowed by backlash to Minneapolis shooting, blames Democrats for 'chaos'

WASHINGTON (AP) — The fatal shooting of a Minneapolis protester by a federal immigration officer touched off a fierce national debate and prompted some fellow Republicans to question President Donald Trump's hard-line immigration crackdown, but the president on Sunday night continued to blame Democratic officials.
After remaining relatively quiet on Sunday, the Republican president in two lengthy social media posts said that Democrats had encouraged people to obstruct law enforcement operations. He also called

Scientists find world's oldest known cave art hiding in plain sight

In an Indonesian cave system known for its prehistoric art, the oldest cave art yet found was hiding in plain sight. In a cave full of paintings that were well studied over the years, a faint hand stencil on the ceiling had been overlooked. A new chemical **** ysis of the stencil reveals that it dates back at least 67,800 years, an astonishing 15,000 years older than the next-oldest cave art found on the same island, Sulawesi.

Democrats try new tactic to remove Trump's name from Kennedy Center

Democratic lawmakers are fighting to restore the original name of what is now dubbed the Donald J. Trump and John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and pushing to make sure something like this doesn't happen again.
One House member has filed a lawsuit saying the Trump-appointed board acted illegally to rename the building. Two more filed resolutions condemning the name change, and three senators want to restore the name back to just Kennedy and prevent future presidents from naming things after themselves.

'It will transform our country': Bernie Sanders sounds alarms on impact of AI

Some lawmakers are sounding the alarm about the impact of artificial intelligence on Americans, including children, as the technology becomes increasingly common.
In separate interviews on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday, Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Katie Britt (R-Ala.) warned of the dangers AI can have on American democracy and called for technology companies to face accountability for their creations.
"This is the most consequential technology in the history of humanity,” Sanders told host Jake Tapper.

'Embarrass them': Trump calls for release of any Epstein files naming Democrats

As prosecutors contend with a massive trove of documents related to the late **** offender Jeffrey Epstein, President Trump suggested Friday the Justice Department is spending too much time on the issue — but said prominent Democrats linked to Epstein should be named.

Citizens of the Central African Republic (CAR) will vote on Sunday in highly controversial presidential and legislative elections expected to extend President Faustin-Archange Touadera’s tenure beyond two terms for the first time in the country’s history.
Touadera, who helped put his country on the map when he adopted Bitcoin as one of its legal tenders in 2022, had earlier pushed through a referendum abolishing presidential term limits. That, as well as significant delays that almost upturned the confirmation of two major challengers, has led some opposition groups to boycott

Who are the winners from Trump's energy policies?
What are the environmental consequences of these changes?
What impact will this have on EV adoption?
Earlier in the year, President Trump signed legislation that effectively ended fuel economy penalties for automakers. The penalties applied to automakers for failing to meet Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards dating back to the 2022 model year. The measure was part of the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," signed into law in July 2025. And now the president has pushed the envelop

A new study is flipping the script on how we think about renewable energy, and it is revealing a surprising flaw in the way a major industry is funded.
UK researchers Colm O'Shea, Piers Horne, and Mark Maslin found that wind power has delivered more than $132.4 billion in total savings for consumers since 2010. Besides the work wind power has done to clean up the UK's electricity grid, this is also a major win for families and the economy.
Plus, it is a reminder that clean energy is more than just an environmental upgrade.
From 2010 to 2023, wind generation cut costs by $195.2 billion, incl

Tariffs are now in effect, though they are not as severe as first advertised. Markets have clawed back losses to trade near record highs.
