The U.S. Department of Justice has agreed to stop demanding medical records that identify young patients who received gender-affirming care from Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, ending a legal standoff with families who sued to block a subpoena that some feared would be used to criminally prosecute the parents of transgender kids.The agreement, filed in federal court Thursday, allows the hospital to withhold certain records and redact personal information from others who underwent gender-affirming treatments, which Trump administration officials have compared to child mutilation despite support for such care by the nation’s major medical associations.Several parents of CHLA patients expressed profound...

St. Paul, Minnesota — Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison accused the Trump administration of turning immigration enforcement into "politics and retribution," describing what he called a "surge" of federal agents in the Twin Cities as a constitutional crisis, and said he has seen "no evidence" of a federal investigation into the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer earlier this month. "In fact, I have evidence to the contrary that the federal government is investigating the death of Renee Good at all," Ellison told CBS News in an interview Friday. He added, "Todd Blanche, who...

Canada's Arctic is a massive, treacherous, and largely inhospitable place, stretched out over nearly 4 million square kilometres of territory - but with a small population roughly equal to Blackburn in England or Syracuse, New York."You can take a map of continental Europe, put it on the Canadian Arctic, and there's room to spare," Pierre Leblanc, the former commander of the Canadian Forces Northern Area told the BBC. "And that environment is extremely dangerous."Standing at the defence of that massive landmass is an aging string of early warning radars, eight staffed military bases and about 100 full-time Coast Guard personnel...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon released a priority-shifting National Defense Strategy late Friday that chastised U.S. allies to take control of their own security and reasserted the Trump administration’s focus on dominance in the Western Hemisphere above a longtime goal of countering China.The 34-page document, the first since 2022, was highly political for a military blueprint, criticizing partners from Europe to Asia for relying on previous U.S. administrations to subsidize their defense. It called for “a sharp shift — in approach, focus, and tone.” That translated to a blunt assessment that allies would take on more of the burden countering...

With roughly two-thirds of the United States under some form of winter weather alert, energy experts are warning that a surge in heating demand could deplete America's natural gas reserves. Why It Matters The United States relies on natural gas as its primary residential heating fuel and as a major source of electric power, so an extreme cold blast can simultaneously push up demand and constrain supply, creating rapid drawdowns from storage that help balance the system. Analysts said the expected demand surge, combined with possible production declines from freeze-related disruptions, could produce one of the largest weekly declines in...

Behar admitted that she was...
