Blake McPhee reportedly got drunk and started arguing with other bar-goers at the East Village Pub & Eatery in Fort McMurray, Alberta on January 12. As the dispute spilled out onto the street - and into in sub-zero temperatures - things got physical and security guards attempted to restrain him.

One of Trump's first acts as president was to pause all travel and external communications at the CDC, FDA and NIH, including publishing scientific reports, updating websites or issuing health advisories, while the new administration prepares to overhaul the agencies.

There is currently an outbreak of the disease in Tanzania, where eight...

Burgum also said the U.S. needs to make more “baseload” electricity from coal and other sources as it seeks to...

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has called for a campaign for the “liberation” of Puerto Rico from the United States. […] Although the chances of Puerto Rico being invaded appear unlikely, the comments serve as a reminder of the Venezuelan challenges that await President-elect Donald Trump when he returns to the White House on January 20.
