CNN — The Trump administration announced Tuesday that it is considering selling off hundreds of “non-core” federal properties, according to the General Services Administration. “GSA’s decisive action to dispose of non-core assets leverages the private sector, drives improvements for our agency customers, and best serves local communities,” the agency said in a news release linking to a list of 440 properties that included the headquarters of the FBI and the Department Justice. Later Tuesday, however, the list was scaled back to 320 properties, with all DC-based properties removed. By Wednesday, the list of federal buildings had been removed from GSA’s…
CNN — US President Donald Trump issued what he said was a “last warning” to Hamas to release all of the hostages in Gaza immediately – in a move that came just hours after the White House confirmed it was negotiating directly with the militant group. “Release all of the hostages now, not later, and immediately return all of the dead bodies of the people you murdered, or it is OVER for you,” Trump posted on Truth Social on Wednesday, soon after meeting eight freed hostages at the White House. Trump wrote that he would send Israel “everything it needs…
Washington CNN — When President Donald Trump declared in the House Chamber this week that executives at the nation’s top automakers were “so excited” about their prospects amid his new tariff regime, it did not entirely reflect the conversation he’d held with them earlier that day. Ford Motors, GM and Stellantis argued on that call that the new 25% tariffs the president applied on Canada and Mexico earlier this week could disadvantage their American-based businesses in favor of foreign carmakers — appealing directly to Trump for a reprieve, administration officials said. The message seemed to break through. A day later,…
A former New York detective who moonlighted by working for a mafia family and helped fuel a mini-mob war on Long Island while trying to protect its gambling operations was convicted Wednesday of lying to the FBI. Hector Rosario, 51, a former detective for the Nassau County police on Long Island, was also acquitted of obstruction of justice, the top charge he had faced. The verdict came after a seven-day trial in Brooklyn federal court.”Hector Rosario cared more about lining his pockets with Bonanno family money and protecting his own interests than his fidelity to the law,” said Nassau County District…

As a correctional officers’ strike stretches into its 17th day, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has deployed just under 7,000 National Guard soldiers to guard duty in 41 of the state’s 42 prison facilities with no firm end date in sight, a situation some close to the situation say is more perilous in some respects than a combat assignment.”My husband has done a combat deployment, like he got shot at, and he never once on his combat deployment has he called me up and said, ‘Oh my God, I’ve got to get out of here,'” one wife of a National…
Bill Murray is keeping it real. The “Groundhog Day” star, 74, recently set the record straight over rumors that popped up two years ago that he was dating singer Kelis, who is nearly 30 his junior. “I was fascinated, I met this girl named Kelis, who — I got great press that I was dating her, which really raised my cred,” the “Ghostbusters” actor joked on SiriusXM’s “Sway in the Morning” while talking about how much he likes hip-hop. “Not all of us believed that,” co-host Sway Calloway said while Murray smiled and nodded.

CNN — Mehdi Yarrahi, an Iranian singer and musician known for his song encouraging women to remove their hijabs, was lashed 74 times as part of his punishment for supporting the protests that swept the country, his lawyer said Wednesday. The punishment was “fully and completely implemented,” his attorney, Zahra Minoui, said in a post on X. Yarrahi, 42, was arrested in August 2023 and sentenced by the Tehran Revolutionary Court to two years and eight months in prison, as well as 74 floggings. He eventually served one year of his sentence and was fined, alongside the lashing. Yarrahi had…
Salt Lake City AP — Utah on Wednesday became the first state to pass legislation requiring app stores to verify users’ ages and get parental consent for minors to download apps to their devices. The bill headed to the desk of Gov. Spencer Cox has pitted Meta, which operates Facebook and Instagram, against app store giants Apple and Google over who should be responsible for verifying ages. Similar bills have been introduced in at least eight other states in the latest fight over children’s online safety. The proposals targeting app stores follow legal fights over laws requiring social media platforms…
