Democrats refused to clap for nearly every moment of President Donald Trump’s joint address Tuesday night. That included when he honored former volleyball player Payton McNabb, who suffered traumatic physical and mental injuries when she was injured by a transgender opponent in 2022. Trump commended the 19-year-old McNabb for overcoming her injuries, which included concussion, brain bleed and permanent whiplash, to become an advocate for protecting women and girls from biological males in their sports. Trump concluded the segment by reiterating his promise to cut federal funding to any U.S. school that allows trans athletes to compete against girls. It prompted a round…

CNN  —  US President Donald Trump has gone all in with his effort to strongarm Kyiv into peace negotiations with Russia, suspending US military aid to Ukraine with immediate effect.

Musk does not have “the high burden required for a preliminary injunction” to block the conversion of OpenAI, said U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in Oakland, California.

CNN  —  Last fall, in the waning weeks of the presidential campaign, Donald Trump visited Sprankle’s Neighborhood Market, a family-owned grocery store in rural Kittanning, Pennsylvania.

January inflation data released on Friday showed progress in tamping down overall price growth. Now, new tariffs on the United States’ top three trading partners threaten to kick inflation back up again. This week, the Trump administration levied 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico…

The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declined to comment. Tuesday’s summit in Cairo included the emir of Qatar, the vice…
