President Donald Trump is reportedly locked in a bizarre standoff with the architect he personally tapped to design a new White House ballroom -- because the president wants it even bigger than the White House itself. The push to supersize the already massive addition has triggered weeks of friction behind closed doors, according to four people familiar with the conversations who spoke anonymously to the Washington Post.
Four fire and rescue employees have been arrested in connection with the alleged "violent" hazing of a firefighter at a Florida fire station, authorities said Wednesday.
President Donald Trump attracted a wave of criticism after he pivoted to talking about his 2024 election victory when asked about a National Guard member who recently succumbed to her gunshot wounds. During a Thursday press conference at Mar-a-Lago, one reporter asked the president if he would attend Beckstrom's funeral. At that point, Trump then boasted that he won Beckstrom's home state by a significant margin in the 2024 election. "I haven't thought about it yet, but it certainly is something I could conceive of. I love West Virginia, and I won West Virginia by one of the biggest margins of any president anywhere," Trump said. Trump's remarks prompted multiple journalists, commentators and others to condemn him for bragging about his Electoral College win in the wake of a U.S. service member's death. Writer Michael Freeman called the president a "degenerate sociopath."
Elaine Miles was walking to a bus stop in Redmond to go to Target, she said, when four men wearing masks and vests with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement label stepped out of two black SUVs with no front plates and pressed her for her ID. Miles, an Indigenous actor best known for her roles in "Northern Exposure," "Smoke Signals," "Wyvern" and "The Last of Us," handed them her tribal ID from the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation in Oregon. Federal government agencies recognize tribal ID as a valid form of identification, and Miles has used it to travel back and forth to Canada and Mexico without any issues. Yet, Miles recalled one agent calling it "fake." "Anyone can make that," she recalled another agent saying.
Malicious intruders have hijacked US radio gear to turn emergency broadcast tones into a profanity-laced alarm system.
President Donald Trump suggested Thursday that the United States is preparing to take new action against alleged drug trafficking networks in Venezuela, telling service members during a Thanksgiving call that efforts for strikes on land will be starting "very soon." "In recent weeks, you've been working to deter Venezuelan drug traffickers, of which there are many. Of course, there aren't too many coming in by sea anymore," Trump told service members in the call. Read more
Charities that help people cover their medical bills say they're seeing an alarming increase in requests for help. Worse yet, they say, it's coming even before cuts to Medicaid in President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act take effect and the potential expiration of Obamacare subsidies at year's end. The charities are warning of exploding medical debt and lower survival rates for diseases like cancer if Congress doesn't act.
C-SPAN caller angry about media's 'hatred' threatens to 'shoot these people's brains out'
One hundred dollars for torching a van, a few hundred more for planting a bomb or quick cash for snapping a photo of a strategic location: Russian intelligence services have found a new, cheap -- and increasingly effective -- way to conduct sabotage operations across Europe. They are recruiting Ukrainian children and teens online, luring them with gamified "tasks" and small financial rewards.

"Surprise! You have a $100 million trust fund!" That is the message at "trust reveal" parties hosted by wealthy families and advisers around the country. Baby boomers, who accumulated unprecedented wealth during decades of economic expansion and stock-market gains, are now passing their mammoth fortunes down. More than $100 trillion will move from older generations to offspring and charities through 2048. Around $62 trillion will stem from high-net-worth individuals, who make up around two percent of all households.
When Donald Trump welcomes the Group of 20 to his private golf resort in Miami next year, he'll decide who's on the guest list. That much is clear after the US president said in a social media post Wednesday that he won't invite South Africa, the holder of this year's G-20 presidency and the object of the US president's ire for some time now. It may be a breach of long-established protocol for a leader to decide which of the bloc's members can attend the summit " let alone to host the event at their own hotel " but Trump has demonstrated that he cares little for either convention or the multilateral order.
