Fifteen years ago, Daniel Ek broke into America's digital-content wars with his streaming music start-up, Spotify, which has turned into a publicly traded company with a $110 billion market value. Now he and his business partner, the Swedish entrepreneur Hjalmar Nilsonne, aim to crack a higher-stakes consumer market: American health care.
DHS is weirdly using import/export rules to expand its authority to identify online critics.
President Donald Trump and his top aides' preferred path to the U.S. taking ownership of Greenland is incentivizing people there to vote in a referendum to align with the United States, according to two people familiar with his thinking and granted anonymity to speak candidly.
A year after Donald Trump's return to the White House, a global survey suggests much of the world believes his nation-first, "Make America Great Again" approach is instead helping to make China great again.
The 21-country survey for the influential European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) thinktank also found that under Trump, the US is less feared by its traditional adversaries, while its allies " particularly in Europe " feel ever more distant.
Trump Tirades About Shooting Get Darker as Polls Turn Brutal on ICE
As new polling shows Trump is losing the argument over the Minneapolis shooting, the writer of a new piece on this horror explains how Trumpworld sees this as an opening to wage open war on Americans.
Donald Trump is said to be "ready to push the button" on military strikes against Iran, after the U.S. and U.K. withdrew personnel from bases in the Middle East.
The U.S. president has been mulling direct action against Iran, amid ongoing and widespread protests in the country calling for an end to the Ayatollah's regime. Trump has warned there would be "hell to pay" if protesters were killed, but has yet to act despite reports of a death toll now topping 2,500.
A Washington source close to the U.S. administration told The Independent that strikes could be carried out within the next 24 hours.

The newly unveiled Chinese system reportedly delivers an impressive 2.6 megawatts of pulsed power with synchronization accuracy previously thought unattainable. Such power output, combined with fine control over timing, marks a breakthrough in how particle beams can be generated and maintained in the vacuum of space.
The funniest thing about the Secret Service decrying James O'Keefe's honeypot sting tactics -- as "targeted and manipulated" is that sources tell me that Secret Service leaders recently launched their own attempted yet failed sting operation to try to uncover my sources within the agency. In a plan authorized by Secret Service Director Sean Curran himself, I'm told agents posed as journalists fishing for derogatory information on the USSS to try to find out who is leaking to me. The effort failed and provided a lesson for most Secret Service sources inside and outside the agency. They know I would go to jail to protect them -- and that I have not and would never give up their identities
As the people of Iran brave another intensifying crackdown by their rulers after another effort to reclaim their basic rights from one of the world's most repressive regimes, my question is: Where are the protests in the West? Specifically, where are all those defenders of persecuted Muslims who have been so active on the streets of New York, London, Sydney, Rome and elsewhere the past two years? Where are the demands for justice and freedom for the downtrodden victims of a brutally repressive state? What is so different about the cause they have been espousing in their demonstrations over Gaza and the cause of the millions of innocent coreligionists 1,000 miles to their east? Those kaffiyeh-wearing, banner-waving, slogan-chanting activists say they were moved to protest, sometimes violently and unlawfully, by the plight of Muslims dispossessed of their lands and livelihoods, immiserated, starved, beaten and murdered by a savage regime.
An unnamed Israeli official also said it appeared Trump had decided to intervene, though the scope and timing remained unclear.
The United States and the United Kingdom are pulling certain personnel from key bases around Iran amid rapidly escalating tensions in the region, sources told Reuters on Wednesday. "All the signals are that a U.S. attack is imminent, but that is also how this administration behaves to keep everyone on their toes. Unpredictability is part of the strategy," a Western military official told Reuters on Wednesday.

We really did not expect this to be a series, but you roll with the punches. That will happen when it's big news AND you have 4 days to think about it while you're in recovery.
