US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has insisted that a proposed plan to end the Ukraine war, which has been widely viewed as favourable to Russia, was "authored by the US". It comes after a group of senators said they had been told by Rubio that the draft - which one said he described as a Russian "wish list" - did not reflect Washington's position. Rubio later distanced himself from those claims and said the plan came from the US, and was "based on input" from both Russia and Ukraine. Read more

The math on President Trump's tariff strategy just changed dramatically. What looked like a $4 trillion windfall has shrunk to $3 trillion, leaving budget planners scrambling to adjust their calculations and raising fresh questions about ambitious promises tied to that revenue.

The adjustment reflects both Trump's recent pattern of walking back duties and economists gaining a clearer picture of how goods actually flow into the country.

President Donald Trump reversed course this week after excluding certain Brazilian goods from his so-called reciprocal tariffs, a reversal that left one economist stunned on Saturday over what he called a "remarkable admission." "'I tried a policy, and oh, everyone tells me I want the cost of living to be lower, let me reverse it,'" said economist Justin Wolfers, appearing on CNN's "Table for Five" on Saturday. "The only implication is that he's learned what [we] learned in Econ 101: tariffs raise prices!" Trump had initially levied high tariffs on Brazil in part over its prosecution of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who has since been sentenced to nearly three decades in prison over his role in an attempted coup after his election loss in 2023.

If someone was very vocal on the internet and found and is in possession of a pinhole camera that was drilled into his wall from outside, what would be his best course of action? Should they contact the local police and risk the entire event "disappearing". Immediately go public by giving the device to local news channels? Lawyer up? Asking for a friend.


The Department of Justice subpoenaed the personal phone records of House Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan in 2022, seeking the Ohio Republican's phone data covering a more than two-year period. The subpoena, obtained by Fox News Digital, shows a federal prosecutor who later worked on special counsel Jack Smith's Jan. 6 investigation ordered Verizon to hand over the phone data, also known as toll records, reaching back to Jan. 1, 2020. The request appears to be the most expansive yet of the publicly known subpoenas targeting senators and current and former House members during Arctic Frost, the investigation that led to Smith bringing election-related charges against President Donald Trump.
