Ukrainian troops in Mariupol are taking ammunition off of Russian troops and smuggling in weapons to resupply and hold out against the Russian assault. Western officials in a briefing to reporters Tuesday said there is evidence of Ukrainian troops in Mariupol smuggling weapons into encircled areas for reinforcement as additional Russian troops close in.

In the middle of Russia's brutal invasion of Ukraine, Donald Trump's priority on Tuesday was urging Vladimir Putin to hand over any documents he may have about Hunter Biden's dealings with Russian oligarchs.

'Why did the mayor of Moscow's wife give the Bidens -- both of them -- $3.5 million? That's a lot of money,' Trump in a 30-second clip on...

The snow squalls that caused Monday’s 50-car pileup on Interstate 81 that killed five motorists and injured dozens more literally slipped under the radars of the National Weather Service. A snow squall caused near white-out conditions around 10:30 a.m. when the first crash took place on I-81 north near mile marker 116 in Foster Township. Drivers told reporters they were blinded and their vehicles knocked around as additional vehicles crashed into them.

Ricky Gervais is giving fans a sneak peek at how he would have opened the show if he had been asked to host the 94th Academy Awards. “I’d start with ‘Hello, I hope this show helps cheer up the ordinary people watching at home,'” he tweeted, responding to a fan who said they wished he was hosting. “‘If you’re unemployed for example, take some comfort in the fact that even if you had a job, your salary probably wouldn’t be as much as the goody bag all the actors have just been given.'” Gervais was taking a swipe at this...

The Saudi-US relationship is in the throes of a crisis. As a Saudi who went to college in the US, loves America and wants to see it strong, I am increasingly disturbed by the unreality of the American discussion about the subject, which often fails to acknowledge just how deep and serious the rift has grown.A more realistic discussion should focus on one word: “Divorce.” When President Barack Obama negotiated the nuclear deal with Iran, we Saudis understood him to be seeking the breakup of a 70-year marriage. How could we not? After all, the flaws in the deal are...

Star Trek has a tradition of booking big name guest stars, going all the way back to the original television series of the 1960s with attorney Melvin Belli. This week, the producers of Star Trek: Discovery unveiled Hollywood’s most tightly-kept secret in casting the biggest name in progressive politics, Georgia Democrat and candidate for governor, Stacey Abrams. Abrams, who narrowly lost her last bid to current Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, plays the president of United Earth in the season finale of the Paramount streaming series.

This isn’t the first time Will Smith has slapped someone at an awards show: A decade ago, he smacked a man in the face on the red carpet for “Men in Black III.” Video from 2012 shows Smith backhanding Ukrainian jokester Vitalii Sediuk, who was posing as a reporter, in the face while doing interviews for his movie in Moscow. Seduik — whose wild altercations with celebrities have seen him arrested or served with restraining orders — overstepped the mark when he bizarrely reached out to kiss Smith on both cheeks, claiming that was a traditional Ukrainian greeting.

Chris Rock's comedy tour ticket sales have seen a major boost after Will Smith slapped him in what has become a viral moment. After telling a joke about Smith's wife, Rock got much more than he bargained for from the defensive husband at the Oscars Sunday night.

More tickets for his tour were sold over one night than in the past month, according to a report. Ticket prices have...

Idaho Gov. Brad Little has vetoed legislation that would make it illegal for most businesses to require the coronavirus vaccine. ... Last year, Montana became the first state in the nation to ban most businesses from requiring vaccines as a condition of employment.

It includes exemptions for situations involving federal law, existing...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate on Tuesday agreed to consider the nomination of Lisa Cook for a position on the Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors on a 50-49 party-line vote. The result suggests that there is sufficient support in the evenly-divided Senate to approve Cook, who would be the first Black woman to serve on the Fed’s powerful board in its 108-year history. All 50 Senate Democrats voted in favor, while all Republicans, except for Sen. John Kennedy, from Louisiana, voted against her nomination. Kennedy did not vote. “Professor Cook has nearly zero experience in monetary policy,” Toomey said before...

Some of the before-and-after pictures from the trial. (Yale) Rheumatoid arthritis and a severe form of hair loss called alopecia areata might not seem like they have much in common. One causes joint pain and swelling, while the other leads to dramatic, patchy loss of hair. But in both cases, the immune system has decided that the body's own cells are a threat – in alopecia, this leads to the immune system attacking the hair follicles, while in arthritis, it's attacking tissues in the joints. Excitingly, however, a new study of a phase three clinical trial has shown that the...

In an interview on the BBC [cut] "I don't want to use the word ‘lockdowns.’ That has a charged element to it. But, I believe that we must keep our eye on the pattern of what we're seeing with infections," he said, noting that the U.S. is currently moving toward normalcy. "Having said that, we need to be prepared for the possibility that we would have another variant that would come along," Fauci noted. "And then, if things change and we do get a variant that does give us an uptick in cases and hospitalization, we should be prepared and...

The process of NCAA infractions might be getting completely overhauled soon. According to Sports Illustrated’s Ross Dellenger, two US senators are proposing a new bipartisan bill called the NCAA Accountability Act of 2021.
