The girl did not know her address, so the 911 call center used her phone's location to send units. When they arrived at 1671 84th St., an uninjured child led them to a vestibule that faced two doors. Tisch says officers kicked down one of the doors after hearing screaming. nside the home, they encountered a man holding a meat cleaver and covered in blood.

The U.S. economy added far more jobs than expected in March, but President Donald Trump's sweeping import tariffs could test the labor market's resilience in the months ahead amid sagging business confidence and a stock market selloff. Nonfarm payrolls increased by 228,000 jobs last month after a downwardly revised 117,000 rise in February, the Labor Department said in its closely watched employment report on Friday. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast payrolls advancing by 135,000 jobs after a previously reported 151,000 rise in February. Estimates ranged from 50,000 to 185,000. The unemployment rate rose to 4.2% from 4.1% in February. The labor market is being underpinned by low layoffs, generating solid wage gains that are helping to sustain the economic expansion.

After a spirited discussion where the cohosts made many of the same points they did in prior episodes " particularly Sunny Hostin, who doubled down on her assertion that Schumer "caved" to Trump " and they debated some of the infighting that has resulted in the party, Goldberg shared a call to action to audiences who are displeased by what Trump is doing in the White House. read more
