President Donald Trump will "probably" announce tariff compromise deals with Canada and Mexico soon, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said Tuesday.

Couples suggested Koepka may return to PGA TourMickelson offers fierce riposte on social media Phil Mickelson has opened a war of words with a fellow Masters champion, accusing Fred Couples of a “low class jerk move” with comments relating to Brooks Koepka. Speculation has swirled for some time that Koepka, who joined the Saudi Arabian-backed LIV circuit in a $100m deal in 2022, is seeking a return to the PGA Tour. The lack of competitive rounds available on LIV is supposedly of concern to Koepka. Couples fuelled that suggestion when speaking to a US radio station this week. “He wants to come back,” Couples said of Koepka. “I will say that I believe he really wants to come back and play the tour.” Read More

The three Democrat lawmakers tasked with responding to President Donald Trump’s Tuesday night speech to Congress have voted to advance or otherwise endorsed radical policy positions on issues ranging from energy to immigration to policing. Democratic New York Rep. Adriano Espaillat, California Rep. Lateefah Simon and Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin will each deliver rebuttals to Trump’s address, which will focus thematically on the “Renewal of the American Dream.” Each of the three lawmakers have endorsed or voted for a host of left-wing policies — even funneling cash to hardline anti-police activists or protesting on behalf of a known terrorist — and will represent their party to a national audience as Democrats continue to try to find their way out of the political wilderness.

If you have spent time on Wikipedia—and especially if you’ve delved at all into the online encyclopedia’s inner workings—you will know that it is, in almost every aspect, the inverse of Trumpism. That’s not a statement about its politics. The thousands of volunteer editors who write, edit, and fact-check the site manage to adhere remarkably well, over all, to one of its core values: the neutral point of view. Like many of Wikipedia’s s principles and procedures, the neutral point of view is the subject of a practical but sophisticated epistemological essay posted on Wikipedia. Among other things, the essay explains, N.P.O.V. means not stating opinions as facts, and also, just as important, not stating facts as opinions. (So, for example, the third sentence of the entry titled “Climate change” states, with no equivocation, that “the current rise in global temperatures is driven by human activities, especially fossil fuel burning since the Industrial Revolution.”) If Wikipedia is Trumpism’s opposite—or, as a lot of people like to say, only half facetiously, the only good place left on the Internet—it’s because of its principles and procedures. You may not find everything you want to know about a given subject (“Ben Whishaw,” “Suede (band),” “Olfactory bulb,” to name three of the last pages I visited). But Wikipedia articles—especially those on big and contentious subjects—are remarkably forthcoming about why they include or omit what they do. Click on the “Talk” tab at the top of almost any high-profile article (try the one for Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., for instance) and you can read lengthy, civil, precise, citation-studded debates among editors about terms (“conspiracy theorist,” “anti-vaccine activist”), sources, and themes to emphasize in the entry. Click on the “View history” tab and a list of all the edits ever made to that page unfurls before you. If you want... Read More

As Volodymyr Zelenskyy seeks to undo the damage of the Oval Office confrontation, the question is not just how far but how fast the Trump administration moves. How long do Ukraine and Europe have to respond to US betrayal? When Russia launched its full-scale invasion three years ago, each day that Kyiv held out was a victory. The west rallied to Ukraine’s support at equally remarkable speed. Now, as the Trump administration turns upon the victim, and embraces the aggressor, Europe is accelerating nascent plans to bolster Ukraine and pursue security independence. Trump allies blame Friday night’s extraordinary Oval Office confrontation between Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Donald Trump and JD Vance for the shocking halt to all US military aid. Others suspect that the administration was seeking a pretext for the suspension. Mr Zelenskyy pledged on Tuesday to “work under President Trump’s strong leadership to get a peace that lasts” and expressed gratitude for his first-term approval of Javelin missile defence systems sales.

State Street’s statue became symbol of gender diversity in the workplace – now US companies are retreating from goals. The investment firm State Street, the company that commissioned the Fearless Girl statue that once faced down the Wall Street Charging Bull sculpture and became a symbol of gender diversity in the workplace, has quietly ended some of its diversity policies as US companies continue to retreat from diversity goals. Last year in its proxy voting and engagement policy the company said that it expected companies in its index funds to have boards with at least 30% female directors.

On Monday, First Lady Melania Trump expressed her support for the TAKE IT DOWN Act, which targets deepfakes. Deepfakes are AI-generated videos and images. Many created are nonconsensual explicit images using someone's likeness.

Everyday people (typically women) are, too, and being a victim of deepfakes can be detrimental to someone's mental health. Read More
