Keir Starmer joined European allies warning of a 'dangerous downward spiral' in Nato today after Donald Trump threatened a trade war over Greenland. A joint statement from Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the UK said they stood 'firmly behind' the 'principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity'. The president has shocked the military alliance by warning that opponents of an American takeover of the Danish territory will be hit with punitive tariffs from February 1. In a bombshell post on his social media site, Mr Trump said levies will start at 10 per cent - and potentially...

Megyn Kelly slammed the rebrand of CBS Evening News, calling it a 'lesbian' makeover and comparing the new evening anchor, Tony Dokoupil, to Oprah Winfrey. Kelly, 55, spoke bluntly on her show today, claiming that CBS News’s choice of anchor was influenced by the fact that the new editor-in-chief, Bari Weiss, is a lesbian. 'I figured it out. Bari is an out lesbian, and she's in a marriage to another woman, and they have kids, and so on. This is a lesbian's idea of what women want. Like, he's sweet, he's soft, this is what this is going to sell,'...

Donald Trump has ordered his special forces commanders to draw up a plan for the invasion of Greenland - but is being resisted by senior military figures, The Mail on Sunday has learned. Sources say that the policy 'hawks' around the US President, led by political adviser Stephen Miller, have been so emboldened by the success of the operation to capture Venezuela's leader Nicolas Maduro that they want to move quickly to seize the island before Russia or China makes a move. British diplomats believe that Trump is also motivated by a desire to distract American voters from the performance...

Gun-toting Feds swarmed the home of the ICE agent who fatally shot protester Renee Good on Friday morning, the Daily Mail can exclusively reveal. A Special Response Team arrived at the suburban Minneapolis home, where Jon Ross, 43, lives with his wife and children, early this morning. Daily Mail images captured half a dozen Federal officers wearing masks and balaclavas, one carrying pepper spray and another wielding an assault rifle. They entered the smart five-bed home before carrying out five large plastic crates, a computer tower and a stack of picture frames. The agents climbed back into their unmarked trucks...

Mayor Jacob Frey demanded that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents leave Minneapolis in an explicit tirade just hours after a woman who was allegedly filming an anti-raid protest was shot dead inside a car by federal agents. The democratic politician told Donald Trump's ICE agents to 'get the f**k out of Minneapolis' after a woman, 37, was killed at a protest Wednesday. Witnesses claimed the woman and her wife were acting as legal observers and filming the protest when she was shot. But ICE insisted the woman tried to use the SUV as a deadly weapon. Frey reiterated, after...

Europe's leaders boldly confronted Donald Trump on Tuesday night after his administration threatened to use the US military to seize Greenland. A joint statement from leaders including Sir Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron and Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni of Italy vowed to defend Greenland's 'territorial integrity' - following days of escalating tensions between the US and NATO ally Denmark. It comes as Trump and his top advisers explore plans including purchasing the Danish territory or taking charge of its defense, according to a senior administration official. The White House said that 'utilising the US military is always an option'...

The summer of 2028 is expected to be brutal for the Secret Service. President Donald Trump will still be in office - and because he's term-limited - there will be nominees that need to be protected from both the Democratic and Republican parties. Their running mates and families will also receive security details. Additionally, for the first time since 1996, the United States will host the Summer Olympics, taking place in Los Angeles. These demands come as the agency has been under scrutiny over two assassination attempts on President Donald Trump's life, and the threats continue, as a hammer-wielding maniac...

China today urged Donald Trump to stay away from Venezuela's oil after the US said it would run the country following an operation to capture president Nicolas Maduro. Its call came as the captured Venezuelan leader was driven to a court in New York this morning after being indicted alongside his wife on charges of 'narco-terrorism'. The US president revealed American oil firms will 'go in and rebuild this system' as he signalled a plan to take control of huge and largely untapped reserves in Venezuela. But China, which has invested billions in Venezuela's oil industry, claimed agreements it has...

Colin Jost gave a scathing impression of the scandal-entrenched Secretary of War Pete Hegseth during a Saturday Night Live Cold Open segment. The comedian, who rarely appears on the late-night show beyond Weekend Update, depicted a high-strung and aggressive Hegseth clumsily soft-pedaling his alleged war crimes against Venezuelan drug-smuggling boats. Jost's Hegseth strutted to the podium at a press conference as wrestling-intro music blared - before chugging an energy drink and slamming it on the ground. 'First things first, where's the fatties?' he intensely asked the room full of baffled reporters during Saturday night's episode - which was criticized by...

While President Donald Trump is negotiating with Russian and Ukrainian officials to end the war between the two countries, some in the Russian delegation are already undermining the progress.... Trump also noted how Ukraine's parliament will need to approve any peace deal with Russia. He is also willing to speak directly to the parliament to get them on board with the deal. 'I’ve offered to go and speak to their parliament,' Trump told reporters on Sunday at a press conference following his meeting with Zelensky. 'I’d have no problem with doing it.'

Horrifying stories are starting to surface. With hundreds of thousands of documents already released, and over a million more still to come, journalists and researchers will be occupied for a long time to come with the Jeffrey Epstein DOJ release. Every day, new stories are popping up, including some very distressing ones. Case in point: UK police have confirmed that they are seeking information from the FBI on unverified claims published in recently released court documents related to so-called ‘pedophile ring parties’. The claims were made by a US woman, who alleged that these parties involved high-profile figures in the...

A Republican congresswoman took a trip to the US-Mexico border to expose the stockpiling of baby formula being sent to border facilities while American families continue to face empty shelves amid a nationwide shortage. Rep. Kat Cammack, of Florida, was accused of lying about the formula crisis after she shared photos she was sent by sources last week showing full shelves of baby formula and food at a processing center at the southern border. But now the congresswoman has visited and surveyed the facilities herself, finding not only an amass of formula, but other necessary infant supplies littered across the...

...In a 2022 episode of the All of Us podcast, Romy admitted that, at one point, she had been smoking up to 25 joints of marijuana a day and was on antidepressants. 'I was pretty addicted,' she said.

Donald Trump’s Department of Justice on Friday released more than 300,000 pages of photos and evidence connected to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Clinton broke his silence on Friday to turn the tables on Trump, releasing a statement that declared: 'The White House hasn’t been hiding these files for months only to dump them late...

Donald Trump has doubled down on his attacks on Rob Reiner after the Hollywood star and his wife were apparently murdered. The President appeared to blame Reiner and Michele's killings on the liberal director's 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' in a Monday post on Truth Social. Hollywood celebrities and Republicans pushed back on his statement, with some calling it 'disgusting and vile.' But the President seemed undeterred in his criticism of the late director. When pressed by a reporter in the Oval Office about his previous statement, he said: 'Well, I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged...

Minnesota is still reeling from the biggest fraud scandal in its history. A sprawling, stunning, almost unbelievable heist of federal money intended to feed hungry children during the pandemic. And at the center of the storm sits Aimee Bock – former schoolteacher, mom-of-two, and the woman federal prosecutors branded the mastermind of a $300million meals-for-kids scam. Bock is already convicted. She's already behind bars. And she's facing a sentence that could lock her away for most of the rest of her life. But her lawyer, Kenneth Udoibok, says she is nothing more than a scapegoat – the fall-girl for a...

Dearborn, Michigan, was back in the national spotlight last month after a far-right protest spiraled into street clashes, a near-Quran burning, and the latest debate about religion, identity and political extremism in America's largest Muslim-majority city. The drama began when Jake Lang – a January 6 rioter, newly pardoned by Donald Trump, and now a long-shot Republican US Senate candidate in Florida – arrived in Dearborn with an entourage, cameras, and a self-styled 'anti-Sharia' crusade. He carried bacon in one hand and a Quran in the other, marching through the city center in combat gear and trolling locals, daring them...

Drivers have complained that their vehicles have suddenly locked up, lost power and refused to start, as owners and dealerships warn of a growing wave of failures that has left hundreds of vehicles stuck in place. The nationwide meltdown hit Porsche models built since 2013, which are all fitted with the brand's factory VTS satellite-security unit. The vehicles have been 'bricked' with their engines immobilised, due to connections with the satellite system being lost. Rolf dealership service director Yulia Trushkova said 'all models and all engine types' are impacted. The company does not rule out that the malfunction may have...
