President Donald Trump signed bipartisan legislation on Thursday to fund key agencies at the Department of Homeland Security, officially concluding the record-breaking shutdown. After more than 10 weeks, the president’s signature restores funding to the Coast Guard, TSA, Secret Service, FEMA and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, along with other sub-agencies that don’t touch immigration enforcement. Congressional Republicans are separately working to enact tens of billions of dollars for Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement through a party-line reconciliation package, a process that progressed this week with the adoption of a framework to unlock a special budget authority…

The UK-led grouping will include the Netherlands, Nordic nations, and the Baltic states, according to the country’s first sea lord Britain and other north European states will create naval force outside of NATO to counter Russia, first sea lord and chief of naval staff in the UK, General Gwyn Jenkins, has said.Moscow has repeatedly denied what it calls ‘hysterical’ claims it plans to attack NATO states or anywhere in Western Europe, arguing that they are being made by Western politicians to distract the public from problems at home and justify increased military spending. It also says that Russia will only…

Families of the victims of a deadly Canadian school shooting have filed seven federal lawsuits accusing OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman of prioritizing profit over safety by failing to install adequate safeguards on the ChatGPT AI platform. The New York Post reports that the seven lawsuits, submitted in California federal court on Wednesday, claim that OpenAI’s AT chatbot actively contributed to the 18-year-old shooter’s planning of a massacre that claimed eight lives in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, on February 10. The plaintiffs allege that Jesse Van Rootselaar’s interactions with ChatGPT intensified his violent obsessions and propelled him toward carrying out…

The president of Ecuador, Daniel Noboa, on Wednesday accused his neighbor, Colombian far-left President Gustavo Petro, of allegedly “driving” a guerrilla incursion on the nation’s northern border. Noboa has not publicly presented any evidence to substantiate his accusations at press time. “Several sources have informed us of an incursion by Colombian guerrillas across the northern border, instigated by the Petro administration,” Noboa wrote on social media. “We will protect our border and our people. President Petro, focus on improving the lives of your people instead of trying to export problems to neighboring countries.” Throughout 2026, Petro and Noboa have found…

Co-writer and director Andy Serkis took Animal Farm, one of the totems of classic literature, and woke-raped it into something unrecognizable. George Orwell’s 1945 novella Animal Farm is a scathing reenactment of the 1917 Russian Revolution brilliantly told through talking farm animals. Overworked animals on Manor Farm overthrow the humans and put two pigs, Snowball and Napoleon, in charge of ensuring everyone is equal. Eventually, just like the Soviet Communists, violence and terror are used to enforce equality as the pigs enjoy all the luxuries and privileges that come with running a communist system. In 92 pages, Orwell eviscerates and…

Congress on Thursday passed legislation that would restore funding to key parts of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) except for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol, which ends a record 76-day shutdown of the department. The House on Thursday passed the funding package by voice vote to partially fund DHS, which the Senate passed more than a month ago. President Donald Trump will likely sign the legislation to fully fund the Coast Guard, Transpiration Security Administration (TSA), Secret Service, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and along with other agencies…

GOP unity over the Iran war started to crack Thursday when Sen. Susan Collins of Maine voted with Democrats to halt the conflict, marking the first time a Republican has changed their vote on the military campaign in the Middle East. While the vote failed, the shift signaled President Donald Trump could soon face far more resistance over the conflict. That’s especially true as he blows past a legal deadline this week for the U.S. to exit the war without congressional authorization. Just two Republicans — Collins and Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky — joined Democrats to support curtailing Trump…

CEO Sam Altman “stole a charity” and betrayed its founding nonprofit mission, the billionaire has claimed Tech billionaire Elon Musk has charged that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman “stole a charity” and called himself a “fool” for funding the company, claiming that the ChatGPT maker had strayed from its original nonprofit mission.Musk sued OpenAI in 2024, alleging he was misled when he co-founded and funded the company in 2015 on the understanding it would remain a nonprofit. The AI firm, now valued at about $85 billion, has since restructured, with a nonprofit parent retaining a stake in its for-profit arm, including…

Maritime logistics and intelligence company Windward AI published a report on Wednesday that claimed Iran has slipped up to $800 million worth of crude oil past the U.S. Navy blockade by electronically disguising its tankers as Iraqi ships. “Deceptive shipping practices are escalating, with 10 Iran-trading, U.S.-sanctioned tankers actively spoofing their locations to appear anchored off Basrah, Iraq,” Windward AI reported. “This reflects a long-established evasion tactic. Tankers manipulate AIS signals and transmit false voyage data indicating Iraqi destinations, often supported by fake ownership messages,” the report said.

The Chinese Communist Party announced on Wednesday that it had dramatically expanded the scope of the country’s known oil and gas reserves, claiming to have found 225 “large and medium-sized crude oil and natural gas fields” between 2021 and 2025. China is the world’s largest oil importer, maintaining large demand for fuel but not enough oil deposits to address that demand domestically. While often considered not a major oil exporter due to having to meet that demand at home, China is actually the fifth-largest producer of oil. In addition to its production, China is home to a large number of…
