      Trump controversies follow Republicans to congressional retreat

      Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., seen here with Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., speaks to members of the media at a news conference during the Republican congressional retreat in Philadelphia, on Wednesday, Jan. 25, 2017. PHILADELPHIA — Republican lawmakers faced questions over President Trump’s potential executive action on torture and his baseless statements alleging massive voter fraud as they kicked off their “Congress of Tomorrow” two-day retreat. Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., and Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, the chairs of their Republican conferences, announced that they were planning out their 200-day agenda in working groups, and would focus on repealing and replacing Obamacare, tax reform and a transportation bill.

      L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti: Resisting Trump isn’t enough. Why California has to work with him too.

      Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti speaks during the Women’s March Los Angeles on Jan. 21. If the “resistance” to President Trump has a headquarters, a nerve center, a ground zero, then California is it — or so the state’s top politicians like to tell us. Pretty much every day since Nov. 8 there’s been yet another news story about yet another left-coast official insisting that he or she won’t let Trump undercut California’s progressive policies or mess with California’s progressive values — or else his or her name isn’t [insert name here].

      What's With Elon Musk's Tunnel Obsession?

      It read like the rantings of a lunatic mogul who’d suffered an inconvenience: "Traffic is driving me nuts. Am going to build a tunnel boring machine and just start digging.” That was Elon Musk on Twitter back in December, 2016. Apparently, Elon Musk has tunnel fever, and the only cure is boring a half-mile hole in the earth between Interstate 105 near LAX and Musk’s desk at SpaceX.

      Vice President Mike Pence declared the Trump administration’s commitment to the antiabortion movement at the March for Life rally in Washington, D.C. On Friday, Pence became the first vice president to address the annual abortion protest since its inception in 1974. It is held every year on the anniversary of the Supreme Court’s 1973 decision to legalize abortion nationwide in Roe v. Wade.

      Attorney: Florida never helped girl who livestreamed suicide

      A 14-year-old girl who broadcast her suicide on Facebook never got the help she needed from Florida's foster care system, an attorney said Wednesday, even though she had exhibited dangerous and self-destructive behavior. Nakia Venant had been in and out of foster care for more than seven years, and since April, had bounced between at least 10 homes and shelters, said Howard Talenfeld, who is Nakia's mother's attorney. Nakia was sexually abused by another foster child when she was 7, he said.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) on Wednesday confirmed the remains were those of Private First Class Shadow McClaine, who was last seen on Sept. 2. Sergeant Jamal Williams-McCray, McClaine's ex-husband, and Specialist Charles Robinson, who served in the 101st Airborne Division with McClaine, remain in pre-trial confinement pending court-martial on charges of kidnapping, conspiracy and premeditated murder, the fort's public affairs office said in a statement.

      Number of suspects in Petrobras scandal to double: Brazil

      The number of suspects in the Petrobras corruption scandal will likely double following confessions of former executives at Brazilian construction giant Odebrecht, the lead prosecutor in the case told AFP. "We expect the case load to double in volume, and the collaboration of Odebrecht and many of its executives will provide evidence that will lead to new investigations throughout Brazil," federal prosecutor Deltan Dallagnol said Thursday. The probe that Dallagnol is leading, dubbed Operation Carwash, has netted scores of politicians and executives and put pressure on President Michel Temer as he tries to drag Latin America's biggest economy out of recession.

      Religious organizations condemn Trump’s expected orders on refugees

      Muslim, Christian and Jewish leaders gathered at the national headquarters of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in Washington, D.C., Wednesday to condemn expected orders by President Trump that would stop the resettlement of Syrian refugees in the United States and impose travel restrictions on visitors from several other Muslim countries. Trump signed two executive orders Wednesday, which included provisions to begin construction of a wall along the southern border, increase detention facilities to hold more illegal border crossers, give border agents more power to enforce immigration laws and cut federal funding to cities that offer sanctuary to certain undocumented immigrants.

      Kraft Heinz — the company made up of both the Kraft and Heinz food brands — could certainly afford to buy a pricey ad for this year’s Super Bowl, but they’re not going to buy one. It’s one of those rare examples of a genuinely cool publicity stunt, but Kraft Heinz has another trick up its sleeve, and it involves you. Kraft Heinz set up a special redirect for the petition at Smunday.org.

      What is the North American Free Trade Agreement?

      US President Donald Trump on Thursday again lambasted the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), calling it a "one-sided deal" that cost the United States jobs and generated a $60 billion trade deficit with Mexico. Trump has demanded that the deal be renegotiated or, failing that, scrapped, but the 23-year-old pact has significantly boosted trade among Canada, Mexico and the United States.

      Why Alexa Still Has a Long Way to Go

      Despite all the fanfare surrounding voice assistants like Amazon's Alexa and Google Assistant, they just don't seem to be catching on much with consumers, according to recent research. While their makers market the devices as a hub for controlling the smart home, less than a third of Amazon Echo and Google Home users list the capability as a reason why they like their device, VoiceLabs found. With 6.5 million so-called "voice first" devices sold in 2016 vs. 1.7 million sold in the prior year, VoiceLabs expects the devices to get more popular in 2017.

The case eventually went cold, but detectives never stopped investigating, and on Wednesday, they announced they had finally nabbed the man they believe responsible for De Anna’s death.

      If you're a blue state voter who's spent any time on Facebook in the past few months, you've probably been overwhelmed by caps lock Facebook posts begging you to call your representatives. The posts can feel simultaneously redundant and contradictory — call your senator to oppose Betsy Devos..no wait, send Paul Ryan a postcard first! — and render some of us completely impassive. A new site, "5 Calls," aims to make calling that much easier, giving users easy one-minute scripts they can read to their representative each week.

      Metallic hydrogen is one of the holy grails of modern science. It would essentially be a magic material, creating everything from impossibly fast computers to hovering cars (themselves powered by hydrogen) to batteries that never need charging. It literally took dropping liquid hydrogen to almost absolute zero and crushing it between two diamonds at thousands of times the pressure of Earth’s atmosphere, but… here we are.

      Boko Haram kill 3 in Nigeria: police

      Boko Haram Islamists raided a village in northeast Nigeria earlier this week, killing three men and abducting seven women, police said Thursday. The militants raided a village in the northeastern district of Askira Uba on Monday, firing weapons and burning buildings to the ground, Borno state police commissioner Damian Chukwu told AFP. Casting doubt on government claims that Boko Haram is "technically defeated", the police chief said officers had been deployed in the area to forestall further attacks.

      Federal judge rejects Ohio's new lethal injection process

      Ohio's efforts to restart executions, including a law shielding the source of its drugs, hit a new setback Thursday as a federal judge declared the state's latest lethal injection process unconstitutional and delayed three executions, including one scheduled next month. The ruling by Magistrate Judge Michael Merz in Dayton followed a weeklong hearing over the three-drug method Ohio planned to use Feb. 15 on death row inmate Ronald Phillips. It was the latest in several delays over the years for Phillips, who in the past had his execution delayed by court rulings and by his request, ultimately denied, to donate organs to family members after his death.

      Philippines says U.S. military to upgrade bases, defense deal intact

      By Manuel Mogato MANILA (Reuters) - The United States will upgrade and build facilities on Philippine military bases this year, Manila's defense minister said on Thursday, bolstering an alliance strained by President Rodrigo Duterte's opposition to a U.S. troop presence. The Pentagon gave the green light to start the work as part of an Enhanced Defence Cooperation Agreement (EDCA), a 2014 pact that Duterte has threatened to scrap during barrages of hostility towards the former colonial power. "EDCA is still on," Defence Secretary Delfin Lorenzana told a news conference.

      Aston Martin is in the midst of a revision to its entire lineup, spearheaded by the all-new DB11. Like its hardtop sibling, the Vanquish S Volante is powered by Aston's old 5.9-liter, naturally aspirated V12 making 580 horsepower, mated to an eight-speed automatic gearbox sending power to the rear wheels. Aston hasn't announced performance specifications for the Vanquish S Volante yet, but it'll probably be nearly identical to the coupe's 3.5-second 0-60 sprint and 201-mph top speed.
