Over the years, countless Democrats have tried to take down Trump, thinking they could stop his movement for good. Instead, they ended up disgraced, irrelevant, or completely exposed.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Around 2 a.m., noisy revelers emerging from clubs and bars packed the sidewalks of U Street in Washington, many of them seeking a late-night slice or falafel. A robust but not unusual contingent of city police cruisers lingered around the edges of the crowds. At other late-night hot spots, nearly identical scenes unfolded. What wasn’t apparent in Friday’s earliest hours: any sort of security lockdown by a multiagency flood of uniformed federal law enforcement officers. That’s what President Donald Trump had promised Thursday, starting at midnight, in the administration’s latest move to impose its will on the...

The University of California must reconsider its policy barring students living in the country illegally from on-campus jobs because the practice is discriminatory, a state appeals court ruled this week. The court also said UC’s policy violates California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act because refusing to hire students who lack work authorization is discrimination based on immigration status.

A rift is reportedly emerging between allies Russia and Iran, after Tehran feels it’s gotten shortchanged in strongman Vladimir Putin’s war against Ukraine. Moscow inked a $1.75 billion weapons deal with the Islamic Republic in 2023 — called at the time “a covert partnership” — to get the designs to domestically produce Iran’s infamous Shahed drones, which it had been importing since launching its full-scale invasion on Ukraine a year earlier. But Tehran has been growing increasingly frustrated with the little backing it’s received from Russia since, CNN reported, citing a Western intelligence source. The resentment hit a high note...

Earlier on Saturday, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer had a call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and said they agreed it would be a "vital forum" to discuss progress towards peace.

Former New York governor Andrew Cuomo has gone full scorched earth in his independent bid for New York City mayor by publicly demanding that Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani relinquish his rent-controlled apartment. Cuomo hit Mamdani where it hurts most: his privileged lifestyle amid a dire housing crisis. Cuomo accused Mamdani and his wife of being “very rich,” pointing out their extravagant wedding celebrations across three continents, all while paying a mere $2,300 a month in rent. He hammered home the economic hypocrisy by asserting their combined income likely tops $200,000 annually, an outrage in a city where a single mother somewhere...

There is something of a crime epidemic in London. I state this in conditional terms because many of the offences are what can be called “low level” crimes which do not generally involve personal injury, grave damage to property or danger to life. But that is not to say that they are not serious in their effect: on the contrary, they are perceived as signs of a breakdown of civil authority which risks undermining the public’s confidence in justice and stable government. When little crimes are permitted to proliferate unchecked, it is actually much more generally demoralising than the occasional...

Almost everybody would agree that the first South Park episode of the current season slammed President Donald Trump. However, that was not enough for Vanity Fair's Hollywood Correspondent, David Canfield. Displaying steroid levels of insecurity, he just has to know if the creators of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, are really really anti-Trump.You can see Canfield's desperate insecurity in his story on Wednesday, "South Park Has Been Pissing Viewers Off for Decades. Then It Came for Trump," which led off with this subtitle: "The show has a history of controversy and provocation—but it’s still virtually impossible to know...

The brutal seizure and execution of the world’s most famous squirrel threatens to cost the State of New York a staggering eight-figure settlement. Mark Longo and Daniela Bittner, the grieving owners of P’Nut and his raccoon sidekick, Fred, are seeking $10 million in damages for the death of their pets at the hands of investigators, according to a lawsuit filed Thursday in New York Court of Claims.

By sparking the immune system into action, radiation therapy makes certain tumors that resist immunotherapy susceptible to the treatment, leading to positive outcomes for patients, according to new research. In the study, investigators dove deep into the molecular biology of non-small cell lung cancer to pinpoint what happens on a cellular and molecular level over time when the cancer is treated with either radiation therapy followed by immunotherapy or immunotherapy alone. They found that radiation plus immunotherapy induced a systemic anti-tumor immune response in lung cancers that do not typically respond to immunotherapy. The combination therapy also yielded improved clinical...

Pharmaceutical scientists, clinicians, nurses and pharmacists have shown that a reduced dose of abiraterone acetate is potentially as effective and safe as the standard regimen for prostate cancer patients. Prostate cancer remains one of the most common malignancies among men. The current standard treatment involves a 1000 mg daily dose of abiraterone acetate (AA), a drug that targets hormone pathways driving cancer progression. However, this high dose can lead to unwanted side effects and high treatment costs. The study investigated whether a 500 mg daily dose of AA, taken on an empty stomach, could achieve comparable therapeutic outcomes. In their...

Two groups peacefully gathered in Bristol city centre earlier to voice opposing views on immigration. About 100 anti-immigration protesters turned up to a planned demonstration outside the Mercure Bristol Brigstow Hotel, which is housing asylum seekers, and near Bristol Bridge on Saturday afternoon. A group of about 300 to 400 counter-protesters had arrived beforehand in support of the asylum seekers, surrounding the hotel. Police kept the two groups apart for about 90 minutes until the anti-immigration protesters walked away. Officers had been given enhanced powers which allow them to ask people to remove face coverings. They have put in place...
