President Donald Trump on Thursday called for fewer federal holidays, saying the days off cost America billions of dollars in losses. “Too many non-working holidays in America. It is costing our Country $BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to keep all of these businesses closed,” Trump said in a Truth Social post on Juneteenth, a newly designated federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt acknowledged during a Thursday briefing with reporters that it was a federal holiday and thanked reporters for showing up, but declined to answer whether Trump was doing anything to mark it. “The…

Hours before college basketball crowns its next champion, the future of college sports will be hanging in the balance in a California courtroom.

U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s new vaccine advisers meet next week, but their agenda suggests they’ll skip some expected topics — including a vote on Covid shots — while taking up a longtime target of anti-vaccine groups.

When I travel, specifically alone, I slide in a totally different rhythm. I wake up early, on the way to miles without destiny, I follow the aroma of a bakery, the lines outside the stores or the sound of street music, and establish conversations with strangers every time I have the opportunity. Curiosity becomes my compass. Either a big city like New York or a small town in Europe, I feel completely alive, open, without ties. But returning home has always meant returning immediately to the routine: comfortable, familiar, a little boring. After my most recent trip, thought, something changed.…
A majority of Australians expect China will be the most powerful country in the world by 2035 as trust in the US tumbles, new research has found. Just over one in three Australians (36%) trusted the US to act responsibly on the world stage, representing a 20-point fall from 2024 and the smallest proportion since the Lowy Institute began polling in 2005. The thinktank’s 2025 report found only one in four respondents had any confidence in president Donald Trump’s approach to world affairs – in contrast with the 46% who expressed faith in Joe Biden the previous year.

The Pentagon said Tuesday it will deploy up to 700 military personnel to assist with immigration enforcement in Florida, Louisiana, and Texas, in support of President Donald Trump’s call to expand the mass deportation of illegal immigrants. The troops—drawn from all components of the U.S. military and activated under Title 10 status—will support Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) by providing logistical, administrative, and clerical assistance at detention facilities, according to a June 17 statement from Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell. “This support provides critical resources to ICE, freeing up law enforcement personnel to focus on enforcement tasks,“ Parnell said, noting…

I am trying to have more fun in the kitchen. Actually, I’m just trying to have fun more generally. On a picnic next to the lake in one of the first warm days of the Chicago season, I mentioned my friends that this is my summer of itself, and I am excited to support myself in the fun of everything. That means saying yes to exits, new restaurants, trying new hobbies and saying that to play with more flavors and ingredients in the kitchen. While I am definitely trying to change my weekly meal planning of my usual trends, I…
