  2. Trump wants the Supreme Court to let the firing of whistleblower agency head proceed Trump wants the Supreme Court to let the firing of whistleblower agency head proceed A supporter of U.S President-elect Donald Trump takes pictures of the U.S. Capitol after it was announced that Trump’s inauguration is being moved indoors due to dangerously cold temperatures expected on Monday, in Washington, U.S., January 17, 2025. REUTERS/Carlos Barria Carlos Barria | Reuters The Trump administration wants the Supreme Court to permit the firing of the head of the federal agency dedicated to protecting whistleblowers, according to documents obtained Sunday that would mark the first appeal to the justices since President Donald Trump took office. The emergency appeal is the start of what probably will be a steady stream from lawyers for the Republican president and his administration seeking to undo lower court rulings that have slowed his second-term agenda. The Justice Department’s filing obtained by The Associated Press asks the conservative-majority court to lift a judge’s court order temporarily reinstating Hampton Dellinger as the leader of the Office of Special Counsel. Dellinger has argued that the law says he can only be dismissed for problems with the performance of his job, none of which were cited in the email dismissing him. The petition came hours after a divided appeals court panel refused to lift on procedural grounds to lift the order, which was filed Wednesday and expires on Feb. 26. The case is not expected to be docketed until after the Supreme Court returns from the Presidents Day holiday weekend. The justices would not act until Tuesday at the earliest. It’s not clear what reception Trump will get from the conservative-dominated court that includes three justices he nominated in his first term. The case began last week when Dellinger sued over his removal as head of the Office of Special Counsel, which is responsible for guarding the federal workforce from ******** personnel actions, such as retaliation for whistleblowing. He was appointed by Democratic President Joe Biden and confirmed by the Senate to a five-year term in 2024. Dellinger said the office’s work “needed now more than ever,” noting the “unprecedented” number of firings, without cause, of federal employees with civil service protections in recent weeks by the Trump administration. The administration argues that the order reinstating Dellinger for two weeks while the judge considers the case is an unacceptable intrusion on executive power. The brief cites the Supreme Court decision that gave Trump immunity from criminal prosecution and reflected a muscular view of executive power. The independent Office of Special Counsel is separate from Justice Department special counsels such as Jack Smith, who are appointed by the attorney general for specific investigations, such as Smith’s criminal investigation of Trump before he returned to the White House. Dellinger’s firing was the latest move in Trump’s sweeping effort to shrink and reshape the federal government, testing the limits of well-established civil service protections by moving to dismantle federal agencies and push out staffers.

  3. A 59-year-old died in a one-car ****** Sunday morning in a Hobby Lobby parking lot A 59-year-old died in a one-car ****** Sunday morning in a Hobby Lobby parking lot The Des Moines Police Department announced the city’s first traffic fatality on Sunday morning. Authorities responded to a single-car accident around 3:30 a.m. in the Hobby Lobby parking lot at 4080 Merle Hay Road, according to a DMPD news release. First responders discovered a 2012 Chevrolet Impala that had crashed into a light pole. The driver, a 59-year-old male, was the only occupant in the vehicle. More: An arctic blast is making its way into Iowa. When is it supposed to be the coldest? Authorities performed lifesaving efforts at the scene, which included CPR before transferring the driver to the hospital. The male later died at the hospital. Officials, according to a preliminary investigation, believe excessive speed likely contributed to the accident. The Des Moines Police Department’s traffic unit will complete a technical investigation of the ******. More information will be released as it becomes available. Authorities did not release the name of the deceased in its release. Brandon Hurley is a content editor for the Des Moines Register.

  6. Norths regroup under pressure to easily beat Lake View Norths regroup under pressure to easily beat Lake View North Kalgoorlie’s lower order displayed a steely resolve and Matt Smart and Michael Noble each snared three wickets to lead the way in the side’s decisive A-grade win on Saturday against Lake View in the Eastern Goldfields Cricket Association. After winning the toss and batting at Wallace Park, Norths initially struggled to 6-59 before the bottom-five each made solid contributions that steered the defending premiers to 181. Camera IconNorth Kalgoorlie’s Sam Burge and Cooper Bennett. Credit: Carwyn Monck/Kalgoorlie Miner Among the top six, opener Nick Willis’ 21 off 15 deliveries led the way, but the innings was put back on track by Sam Burge (24; four fours), Cooper Bennett (18 off 35 ******) and Blake Willis (36 off 21 ******; two fours; three sixes). Batting at No.10, Kyle Hislop contributed 17 off 33 deliveries and No.11 Smart was not out 19 with three boundaries. Riley Logan and Matt Carter grabbed three wickets each and Stuart Kennedy chimed in with 2-23, but the Viewers were dismissed for 94 in 33.5 overs. It was generally slim pickings for Lake View after opener David Forest’s dismissal for 24. Ash Malec faced 30 ****** for his 11 and No.7 batter Luke Gilfillan top-scored with 33 of 49 ******. His innings included five boundaries but the Viewers’ innings ended when the last three wickets tumbled without addition to the score as Smart and Noble each grabbed 3-25. They were supported by Blake Willis (2-11) and Nick Willis (2-21). Camera IconNorth Kalgoorlie’s Blake Willis. Credit: Carwyn Monck/Kalgoorlie Miner After back-to-back losses in rounds seven and eight, Norths have hit back strongly by winning three of their past four matches. Lake View’s past seven matches have yielded just one win. Norths are hoping for a similar finish to last season, when six consecutive wins and a subsequent grand final triumph against Great Boulder followed a four-win campaign in 2022-23 when they missed the finals.

  7. This ******* EV Has the Longest Driving Range in 2025 This ******* EV Has the Longest Driving Range in 2025 In the world of electric cars, one of the most important factors is range. With charging times still remaining fairly high, at least compared to filling an ICE car up with gas, going far on a single charge is something that buyers value highly. If you’re looking for a luxurious ******* EV in particular, you have plenty of choices that will take you far. They offer a blend of plush and comfortable interiors and powerful yet efficient powertrains. There is one model, however, that stands head and shoulders above its competition. Where range is concerned, there is one ******* EV that can go further on a single charge than any other. It comes close to some of the industry’s leading vehicles, without compromising on performance in any capacity. The only problem is its eye-watering price tag, making it exclusive to the one percent. In order to give you the most up-to-date and accurate information possible, the data used to compile this article was sourced from Mercedes-Benz websites and other authoritative sources, including the EPA and TopSpeed. The Mercedes-Benz EQS Can Go 390 Miles on a Single Charge Head-on shot of the 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQS If you’re in the market for a luxury electric sedan, you have a ton of fantastic choices on the market today. However, with range anxiety still being among the top reasons people are avoiding electric vehicles, you’ll obviously want one that doesn’t need to charge very often. Enter the EQS Sedan. Total Estimated Range Model Total Range EQS 450+ 390 Miles EQS 580 4Matic 371 Miles EQS 450 4Matic 367 Miles AMG EQS 4Matic+ 315 Miles For the 2025 model year, Mercedes has increased the battery capacity for the EQS to give you a usable capacity of 118 kWh. This is quite an increase over last year. They have also made changes to the regenerative braking system, which further adds to the improved range. With an EPA estimated 390 miles, the EQS 450+ is the ******* EV with the highest range. In terms of efficiency, the EQS 450+ is the most efficient, offering an estimated 98 MPGe. The 4Matic version of the 450 adds another motor, which accounts for the drop to 92 MPGe. Strangely, though, the higher output 580 model managed to return better efficiency than the 450 4Matic, achieving 93 MPGe. Multiple media outlets have tested the range of the EQS over the long term and found that it delivers results pretty close to the estimates provided by the EPA. Battery and Charging As mentioned above, the EQS uses a fairly large lithium-ion battery pack with a usable capacity of 118 kWh. As well as having a large battery and an impressive range, the Benz can also recharge pretty quickly, which is another integral factor when creating a successful EV. The EQS comes with a 200-kW fast charging capability. This means that every model is technically capable of charging itself from 10 percent to 80 percent in 31 minutes, which is staggeringly quick. Make use of a more common 240-volt level two charger, and it’ll take a less impressive 11 and a half hours. Mercedes’ EQS Sedan Can Make Up to 751 Horsepower Mercedes-Benz As well as being one of the highest range electric vehicles on the market right now, the EQS is also staggeringly powerful. Its electric motors deliver a ridiculous amount of power, making it as quick as it is comfortable. Go up to the range-topping AMG tuned model, and you’ll be pinned to your seat when you put your foot down. Performance Specifications Model 450+ 580 4Matic AMG EQS53 Single Motor Dual Motor Dual Motor 335 HP 516 HP 649 HP 419 LB-FT 611 LB-FT 700 LB-FT RWD AWD AWD 5.4 Second 3.7 Seconds 3 Seconds 130 MPH 131 MPH 154 MPH The EQS comes in a number of different setups. The 450+ is the standard option and features a single motor that drives the rear axle. Upgrade to the 450 4Matic, and you add another motor to the front axle. Combined horsepower output stays the same, but torque jumps up to 590 pound-feet. The 580 utilizes a more powerful setup, but the AMG-Tuned EQS53 is the most powerful. The AMG model can even boost power temporarily to 751 horsepower and 752 pound-feet of torque. Every EQS features adaptive air suspension, meaning it has one of the most sublime rides you can find in any sedan right now. Being over 207 inches long, you may think the EQS is tough to maneuver, but its rear-wheel steering easily proves you wrong. The AMG model is the one to get if handling verve is your desire, but every model delivers a silky smooth driving experience. This Powerful and Efficient EV Comes With a High Price Tag Mercedes-Benz The EQS is an impressive EV, with loads of range and tons of power to boot. It is also a fantastic luxury sedan, with one of the most innovative and luxurious interiors of any car on the market. However, all of this comes at a steep cost, with the EQS starting above six figures. 2025 Trims and Pricing Model Starting MSRP EQS 450+ $104,400 EQS 450 4Matic $107,400 EQS 580 $127,350 EQS 53 $147,550 The prices above dictate the difference in price for the different powertrains alone, with the luxury packages being an additional cost. This means that it essentially costs $3,000 alone to add all-wheel drive to the 450. This makes it one of the most expensive luxury sedans on the market, costing tens of thousands more than its competition from BMW, Lucid, and Porsche. For the 2025 model year, the EQS has received a minor styling update. The changes to the front end are a clear attempt to make the EQS look more like an S-Class, an effort that its bulbous bodywork dramatically lets down. As mentioned earlier, the battery and regenerative braking system have both been updated. The interior has also had some work done, with some additional chrome accents. Comfort and Technology While we’re not the biggest fans of the EQS’ exterior styling, we have to admit that it is just as plush as an S-Class on the inside. As per usual, the ******* brand uses only the finest materials throughout the cabin of their flagship sedan. It is also insanely spacious, with enough room to stretch your legs in the front or back. Mercedes’ forte is technology, which is obvious when you get inside the EQS. Its dashboard features three separate screens seamlessly stitched together to create 56 inches of digital real-estate. You’ll also find features like a Burmester 3D sound system, 64-color ambient lighting, and a fingerprint scanner that locks in individual driver profiles. You Can Also Have the EQS as an SUV if You’d Prefer Mercedes-Benz The EQS sedan is certainly impressive and will definitely appeal to those who want an electric S-Class. However, if you’re not a fan of sedans and prefer the practicality that SUVs offer, Mercedes does offer the EQS SUV. For a little more money, you can make the switch. Sedan vs SUV In terms of performance and battery size, the sedan and the SUV are essentially identical. The SUV, however, starts at $105,250, meaning its just under $1,000 more than the sedan. This trend continues through the entire lineup, with the same models on offer, bar the AMG-tuned EQS53. Instead, you can grab yourself a Maybach model for $179,900. On the inside, you’ll find the design ethos and the technology is the same as what can be found in the sedan. It features the same 56-inch screen across the entirety of the dashboard. The main differences are the driving position and the fact that you’ll have more headroom and legroom in the SUV. Range Remains Impressive Model Total Range EQS 450+ SUV 323 Miles EQS 580 4Matic SUV 317 Miles EQS 450 4Matic SUV 312 Miles AMG 680 Maybach SUV 302 Miles Despite having the same battery pack and the same electric powertrain options, the EQS SUV has a much shorter estimated range than the sedan. This is due to the fact that it is a decent amount heavier and much less aerodynamic. The 450+ with rear-wheel drive remains the best option for those who want to go far on a single charge, though. Again, the 580 beats the less powerful 450 4Matic model. The main difference here is the addition of the Maybach model. This model features a combined output of 649 horsepower, the same as the AMG EQS53. This model comes out as the least efficient and has the lowest estimated range.

  8. Veteran starter Scherzer continues to evolve Veteran starter Scherzer continues to evolve DUNEDIN – Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman shakes out his arm when he thinks back to stepping into the batter’s box to face now-teammate Max Scherzer. Gausman, who was with Baltimore at the time of the 2018 interleague series against Washington, remembers specific details from the matchup. “I struck out on a change-up and I thought I hyperextended my elbow,” Gausman said. “I thought I was all over it and then it just, you know, (dropped).” Scherzer has made a Hall of Fame career out of keeping batters guessing. The 40-year-old right-hander, who recently signed a one-year deal with Toronto, said he prides himself on how he has evolved as a pitcher. “It’s a cat-and-mouse game,” Scherzer said Sunday. “Evolving just has to be a part of your DNA. You have to welcome it. That’s what we do.” Story continues below advertisement A three-time Cy Young Award winner, Scherzer relies on a four-seam fastball in a repertoire that includes a slider, curve, change-up and cutter. Combined with a delivery that can feature different looks, Scherzer still appears to have game after 17 big-league seasons. “Deception is the thing that we can’t quantify right now,” he said. “That’s one of the things that I’ve always strived (for) is to be deceptive. Hide the ball and don’t let the hitters see it.

It’s a mixture of that and he’s not going to take it easy on you ever.” Story continues below advertisement Scherzer, who made his debut in 2008 with the Arizona Diamondbacks, is joining his seventh big-league team. He won the World Series with the Nationals in 2019 and with Texas in 2023. Back surgery recovery and a nerve issue limited him to nine games last season, but he’s satisfied with how he’s ramping up at the Blue Jays’ player development complex. “I”m right where I need to be,” he said. “I’ll be out here in a live (batting practice) soon and then games after that. As of right now, I’ve had a great off-season and I’m looking forward to getting back out there.” More on Sports More videos The eight-time all-star joins a formidable rotation of Kevin Gausman, Chris Bassitt and Jose Berrios. Bowden Francis is a good bet for the fifth spot and Yariel Rodriguez will be stretched out as well. Trending Now Over a pound of fentanyl seized at U.S. border, and it came from Canada Tourist badly injured after approaching shark for photo in Turks and Caicos Scherzer has drawn a crowd for his throwing sessions at the Jays’ player development complex. Pitchers of all ages are keen to glean a little info by watching one of the game’s masters. “We are fired up to have every aspect of him,” said Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins. “The competitiveness, the professionalism, what he brings. Obviously the back of the baseball card, it’s the top. “There’s not much better than Max Scherzer and what he’s accomplished.” Story continues below advertisement Scherzer’s trademark intensity is evident no matter if it’s a Game 7 situation or his first throwing session of the spring. “I really liked watching him before the pitch clock because he’d strike a guy out and he’d walk all the way out to second base,” Gausman said. “He’d go on this big circle around the mound and he just had an aura about himself. “If you weren’t ready to go, the game was already over and you could see it on the other side.” It’s a fierceness that Dave Dombrowski, the Philadelphia Phillies’ president of baseball operations, knows well. He was the general manager in Detroit when Scherzer was with the Tigers over a decade ago. “He always wants to get better,” Dombrowski said at an MLB media day availability. “He’s the ultimate. That’s what you’re looking to have in a pitcher. “He’s the elite, is what he is.” This report by The ********* Press was first published Feb. 16, 2025. &copy 2025 The ********* Press Source link #Veteran #starter #Scherzer #continues #evolve Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content] For verified travel tips and real support, visit: [Hidden Content]

  10. What to stream this week What to stream this week Getty Images Sam Fender’s new album People Watching is released on Friday, a follow-up to 2021’s chart-topping Seventeen Going Under. But that’s not all the week has in store. The next season of The White Lotus is here, EastEnders turns 40, video games Avowed and Lost Records: Bloom and Rage are released, and Tate McRae’s new album is also coming out. Read on for this week’s biggest releases… Sam Fender is People Watching By Mark Savage, Music correspondent Getty Images Sam Fender made me cry twice last week. The first time, it was with the video for his single People Watching, starring Sherlock’s Andrew Scott as a man trying and failing to grapple with the loss of his mother. He followed that up with another heart-tugging video, for Remember My Name, in which Dave Johns (from I, Daniel Blake) plays an elderly man caring for his wife as her health fails. Beautifully shot and delicately told, these stories would bring a lump to anyone’s throat. Death and loss loom large over Fender’s new album, which is released Friday and is also called People Watching. He says it was inspired by his trips to and from a palliative care home to visit his friend and mentor, Annie Orwin, who he’s described as being like “a surrogate mother” to him. “She was the one that gave me the confidence to go on stage, and always used to be like ‘why haven’t you mentioned my name in your acceptance speech’,” he wrote on Instagram last year. “But now an entire song (and album) connects to her. I hope that wherever she is now she’s looking down saying ‘about time kid’.” If that leaves you expecting mawkish sentiment and introspective wallowing, you’ve not been paying attention. Fender is one of our finest songwriters, with a sharp eye for detail and a heartland rock style that turn even the bleakest observations into rousing stadium anthems. Standout tracks on his new album (which is produced by The War On Drugs’ Adam Granduciel) include the chiming riffs of Nostalgia’s Lie, which explores the false allure of living in the past; and Crumbling Empire, whose lyrics draw parallels between the de-industrialisation and urban decay of Detroit and Fender’s hometown of North Shields. Pensive, melodic, uplifting, and heartrending – it’s his best album yet. The White Lotus is back Obnoxious guests, secrets and lies: that’s right, The White Lotus is back. The third series of the comedy-drama that satirises the super rich is available for *** viewers to watch on Sky from Monday. While the first season focused on privilege, and the second season on sex, the show’s creator Mike White has said this latest offering will look at spirituality – or what passes for it – at a wellness retreat in Thailand. “The kind of stories that these characters are facing are a little bit more existential and tragic. It has a little bit more of an operatic, dramatic dimension,” he said. For me, the big question is whether the show can deliver the same punch without needy heiress Tanya McQuoid (Jennifer Coolidge). She became the breakout character from the previous two seasons, and the source of many of the best memes from the show. EastEnders turns 40 It’s a huge week for EastEnders as the soap celebrates its 40th birthday. To mark the moment, a special hour-long episode will air on Wednesday, the anniversary date itself. That will be followed by a full live episode on Thursday where audiences will get to decide whether Denise Fox reunites with estranged husband Jack or picks secret lover Ravi Gulati instead. My colleague Colin Paterson has been speaking to some of the cast ahead of the big day, including Shane Richie, who’s played Alfie Moon on and off for years. Richie said there was “an air of anticipation and nerves” ahead of the live episode. “My biggest fear [is] that people will tune in to see something go wrong. And over the years, there’s some famous ones, you can go and check them out, where there have been some bloopers,” he said. “It’s a big, big story we are dealing with on the live there,” he added. “All the cast is involved and we’re very excited and nervous.” You can watch Colin’s interviews in full on BBC Breakfast on Wednesday. Avowed and Lost Records are here at last By Tom Richardson, Newsbeat reporter If the return of thriller series Yellowjackets hasn’t satisfied your hunger for time-hopping narratives about a group of female friends bonded by a dark secret, read on. Adding to this month’s busy video games release calendar is the cinematic Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Part 1 (PlayStation, Xbox, PC) from Don’t Nod, the original makers of the popular Life is Strange series. The choose-your-own-adventure gameplay sees the studio returning to its roots after forays into other genres proved less commercially successful. This time, expect nostalgia and a dream-pop soundtrack as players flit between the present day and the sun-kissed Michigan summer of 1995, unravelling the mystery at the heart of the game. Choice is also at the heart of fantasy role-playing game Avowed, this week’s other major game release and the first big title of the year from one of Microsoft’s in-house studios. Director Carrie Patel, of Fallout New Vegas and Outer Worlds developer Obsidian, recently told BBC Newsbeat the game was designed to accommodate players who want a quicker play-through as well as those who like to spend hours exploring. Both are released on Tuesday. Tate McRae’s new albumGetty Images ********* pop star Tate McRae is releasing her third studio album, So Close to What, on Friday. It kicks off a massive year for the singer, who is also embarking on a global “Miss Possessive Tour” taking in North America, South America, Europe, and the ***. We’ve been told the album represents “the journey of growing up when the road ahead feels infinite and the destination increasingly elusive”. You can expect the 21-year-old to explore themes including self-discovery, love, and searching for balance in moments of uncertainty.

  11. Rushmore bags five wickets as Two Blues walk through Hannans Rushmore bags five wickets as Two Blues walk through Hannans Great Boulder’s direct path to the Eastern Goldfields Cricket Association’s A-grade grand final next month looks assured after they trounced Hannans on Saturday by 173 runs. Camera IconGreat Boulder’s Josh Rushmore. Credit: Carwyn Monck/Kalgoorlie Miner And in an ominous warning for rival teams for the upcoming finals, star all-rounder Josh Rushmore led the Two Blues’ attack with season-best figures. A four-time O’Shaughnessy Medallist and the only player to win the EGCA’s coveted award in three consecutive seasons, Rushmore lined up in just his fifth match of the season. But he made it count by taking 5-13 as Hannans crumbled for 35 in 16.4 overs, in reply to Great Boulder’s 9-208. Hannans’ run chase started badly when openers James Alexander and Aarib Tareen Khan were both dismissed without scoring. The side crashed to 3-5 with Irish international Graham Kennedy’s departure for five, and it was quickly 5-25 as Rushmore and Mewa Jeetarwal sliced through the top order. Hannans then lost 5-4 with No.5 batter Martin Potsekayi ‘s 13 off 20 ****** the leading contribution. No one else reached double-digits when Prash Nagaraja and Jeetarwal complemented Rushmore’s spell with 3-41 and 2-16, respectively. It capped off an impressive sixth-consecutive win for Great Boulder, who lead the standings by three games and percentage. For a slumping Hannans, they dropped to third spot after four successive defeats. Camera IconGreat Boulder’s Daniel Tebble topscored with 42 runs. Credit: Carwyn Monck/Kalgoorlie Miner Great Boulder’s total was built on Daniel Tebble’s 42 off 75 ****** and Rushmore’s 38 off 60 ******. Opener Alex Jerrard compiled 29 from 42 ****** and Waqar ali Ahmed contributed 21 off 25 deliveries. The Two Blues lost 3-9 later in the innings, but former player-coach Dylan Hinchliffe steered them beyond 200 with an impressive 24 from 23 deliveries from the No.10 spot. Harrison Wheatcroft, Harry Merritt-Blann, Shasa Molgaard-Angel and Alex Jago each claimed two wickets for Hannans. Despite Great Boulder’s impressive record, the job is long way off being completed after similar dominant runs in each of the previous three seasons — only for them to falter in the grand final. Also playing out is an absorbing battle for second and third place, and a berth in the elimination final, with North Kalgoorlie and Hannans locked on five wins. Lake View are last but are within striking distance with four wins with three rounds of the qualifiers left.

  12. Viktor Antonov, art director for Half-Life 2 and Dishonored, has died, according to colleagues Viktor Antonov, art director for Half-Life 2 and Dishonored, has died, according to colleagues Viktor Antonov, best known for his work as art lead on Half-Life 2 and Dishonored, has reportedly died at age 52. Half-Life writer Marc Laidlaw broke the news in an Instagram Story, and other colleagues have since taken to social media to pay tribute as well. “I didn’t want to say much till I felt it was confirmed, but I learned today that Viktor Antonov, our visionary art lead on HL2, has died,” Laidla wrote in the now-expired post, which was reshared by on Saturday night.

  13. Mavericks suspend unidentified employee amid report of arrest of assistant Darrell Armstrong Mavericks suspend unidentified employee amid report of arrest of assistant Darrell Armstrong DALLAS (AP) — The Dallas Mavericks said Sunday they have suspended an employee they didn’t identify amid a report that assistant coach Darrell Armstrong was arrested on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Dallas television station WFAA cited multiple anonymous law enforcement sources in reporting that Dallas police responded to a call in the predawn hours Saturday. The sources said the 56-year-old Armstrong and the victim were arguing when he hit the woman with a gun and threatened to shoot her. Dallas police didn’t immediately respond to an email from The Associated Press seeking details of the incident. It wasn’t clear whether Armstrong has an attorney who could comment on his behalf. WFAA reported that Armstrong has posted bond since being booked Saturday morning. The Mavericks said in a statement provided to the AP that they were aware of the incident and gathering information. The NBA didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. “The employee has been placed on administrative suspension pending the outcome of legal proceedings,” the team said. “This matter is currently under review by the appropriate legal authorities. Due to this fact, we will allow the legal process to run its course and we will refrain from further comment while proceedings are ongoing.” Armstrong spent two seasons with the Mavericks late in his 14-year playing career and was a backup point guard on the 2005-06 team that reached the NBA Finals, losing to Miami. He is in his 10th full season as a Dallas assistant. ___ AP NBA: Source link #Mavericks #suspend #unidentified #employee #report #arrest #assistant #Darrell #Armstrong Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]

  16. Met Police refers itself to watchdog over man’s death in Norwood Met Police refers itself to watchdog over man’s death in Norwood The Metropolitan Police has referred itself to the policing watchdog following the death of a man in south London after officers were called to reports of a child being assaulted. The force said officers entered a property on High Street, South Norwood, around 01:27 on Sunday morning and found a 45-year-old man having a medical emergency. The Met said the man was “very agitated and actively resisting against officers”. After being restrained, he lost consciousness and was taken to hospital, where he died shortly after 03:30, the force said. The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) has now launched an investigation to the incident. A referral to the IOPC does not, in these circumstances, indicate that officers are thought to have done anything wrong, but is a requirement when a person dies or suffers serious injury after contact with the police or while in custody. The man’s next of kin have been informed and The Met’s Directorate of Professional Standards has been made aware, the force said. Commander Andy Brittain, who is overseeing the Met’s response to the incident, said: “Our thoughts are with the family of the man who has died. We will ensure they are fully supported. “I know the community in South Norwood will want to be reassured that the incident was handled appropriately. The IOPC is conducting an investigation to provide that independent scrutiny.” He added that officers who attended “were met with a very challenging situation” and will also receive support. An IOPC spokesperson said that after being notified of the incident, it sent investigators to the scene to gather evidence and obtain statements from the officers involved. “Our thoughts are with the family of the man who has died and we will be in contact with them to explain our role,” they added.

  17. Trump administration wants Supreme Court to permit firing of whistleblower agency head Trump administration wants Supreme Court to permit firing of whistleblower agency head How Trump is changing the Justice Department How the Justice Department is changing under Trump 04:34 The Trump administration wants the Supreme Court to permit the firing of the head of the federal agency dedicated to protecting whistleblowers, according to documents obtained Sunday that would mark the first appeal to the justices since President Donald Trump took office. Special Counsel of the U.S. Office of Special Counsel Hampton Dellinger poses for a portrait in an undated handout image. U.S. Office of Special Counsel/Handout via REUTERS The emergency appeal is the start of what probably will be a steady stream from lawyers for the Republican president and his administration seeking to undo lower court rulings that have slowed his second-term agenda. The Justice Department’s filing obtained by The Associated Press asks the conservative-majority court to lift a judge’s court order temporarily reinstating Hampton Dellinger as the leader of the Office of Special Counsel. Dellinger has argued that the law says he can only be dismissed for problems with the performance of his job, none of which were cited in the email dismissing him. The petition was filed hours after a divided appeals court panel refused to lift the order on procedural grounds. The case is not expected to be docketed until after the Supreme Court returns from the Presidents Day holiday weekend. The justices would not act until Tuesday at the earliest. It’s not clear what reception Trump will get from the conservative-dominated court that includes three justices he nominated in his first term.

  19. Top Trump agency recovers eye-popping sum after launching DOGE task force Top Trump agency recovers eye-popping sum after launching DOGE task force U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Scott Turner announced a new Department of Government Efficiency task force on Thursday to “eliminate waste, fraud and abuse” at his federal agency. DOGE revealed that $1.9 billion in HUD money had been recovered as of Friday, saying the funds were misplaced during the Biden administration and were “earmarked for the administration of financial services, but were no longer needed.” DOGE said it worked with Turner to release the funds, and they are now available for use by the U.S. Department of Treasury. Turner said HUD launched its own DOGE Task Force to review how the agency is spending taxpayer money. HUD employees will lead the task force with a mission to maximize their budget and efficiency, reporting their findings directly to Turner. Expert Reveals Massive Levels Of Waste Doge Can Slash From Entitlements, **** Projects: ‘A Lot Of ****’ U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner was confirmed Feb. 5, 2025. “HUD will be detailed and deliberate about every dollar spent to serve rural, tribal and urban communities. Thanks to President Trump’s leadership, we are no longer in a business-as-usual posture, and the DOGE task force will play a critical role in helping to identify and eliminate waste, fraud and abuse and ultimately better serve the American people,” Turner said. Read On The Fox News App Trump Team Digs In, Finds Millions Of Wasted Dollars At Epa, Hud With Doge Help Turner said he established the task force to comply with President Donald Trump’s executive order to “maximize governmental efficiency and productivity.” The HUD DOGE Task Force will work to “ensure all programs, processes and personnel are working together to advance the purpose of the department.” HUD is responsible for national housing policy and urban development, and its programs include affordable housing programs, community development, homeowner support, fair housing and anti-discrimination enforcement, homelessness services, and affordable housing programs. Turner said during his announcement Thursday that the DOGE Task Force had already identified over $260 million in savings. “We have already identified over $260 million in savings, and we have more to accomplish,” Turner said. As Elon Musk and DOGE comb their way through the federal bureaucracy, some agencies are conducting their own investigations to meet DOGE halfway. Administrator for the Environmental Protection Agency Lee Zeldin announced on Thursday he had canceled a $50 million environmental justice grant. “I canceled a $50 million grant to an organization called the Climate Justice Alliance. They say that climate justice runs through a free Palestine. I think that the American taxpayer wouldn’t want $50 million going to this left-wing advocacy group. It’s canceled,” Zeldin said. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has also committed to cooperating with DOGE to cut wasteful spending at the Department of Defense. “We will partner with them. It’s long overdue. The Defense Department’s got a huge budget, but it needs to be responsible,” Hegseth told Fox News.

[DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] On Feb. 5, the Georgia Department of Corrections was notified that Jeremiah Shad Garnto, 35, may have been involved in conducting prison drops at multiple prisons across the state. Johnson County officials said Garnto has a history of conducting prison drops, along with serving time in prison for it. Authorities said they received information that the 35-year-old had a large drone and other items related to prison drops. The following day, the GDOC, JCSO and other law enforcement agencies went to Garnto’s home on Bill Garnto Road in Johnson County. TRENDING STORIES: Garnto had a Fourth Amendment search waiver to search him and his home, authorities said. During the search of the home, deputies said they found a large plastic bag containing suspected methamphetamine (1.5 pounds) in plain sight. Officials also found a gun stolen in Laurens County, a large drone and another gun. Charlie Gail Hillis, 30, Garnto’s girlfriend was inside the house during the search. Hillis is charged with trafficking in methamphetamine and possession of a stolen firearm. Garnto later turned himself into the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office and was charged with trafficking in methamphetamine and possession of a stolen firearm. More charges are pending as the case remains active and ongoing. “We hope to send a collective message that those involved in ******** activities, particularly those related to drugs and firearms, could face significant consequences,” Sheriff Greg Rowland said.

  24. Ukraine not invited to US-Russia peace talks in Saudi Arabia, source says Ukraine not invited to US-Russia peace talks in Saudi Arabia, source says Kyiv has not been invited to talks between the US and Russia aimed at ending the war in Ukraine, a senior Ukrainian government source has told the BBC. The US special envoy to Ukraine Keith Kellogg had said Kyiv would be involved in Monday’s talks in Saudi Arabia, but the source said no delegation would be present. European leaders have also not been asked to join the discussions, and are due to meet instead on Monday in Paris at a summit hastily arranged by the French president, as fears grow the continent is being locked out of negotiations. The separate meetings follow a turbulent week where Washington has signalled a drastic change in its approach to the war in Ukraine. The White House’s Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff confirmed he was travelling to Saudi Arabia on Sunday evening for the first face-to-face talks between the US and Russia towards ending the conflict. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz are also set to meet Russian negotiators there, less than a week after US President Donald Trump held a phone call with Russia’s leader Vladimir Putin. The call on Wednesday brought to an end a three-year freeze on direct contact between Moscow and Washington. Zelensky has repeatedly ruled out accepting a peace deal negotiated without Ukraine, telling US television network NBC on Sunday that he would “never accept any decisions between the United States and Russia about Ukraine, never”. Witkoff said US officials were speaking separately with Ukrainian officials and that it was “part of the talks” – but did not indicate whether he expected Kyiv to be present in Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, Rubio downplayed the Saudi Arabia talks, saying one meeting would not solve the war and that a formal negotiating process – that would mediate between Ukraine, Russia and third parties – had not yet been set up. He told CBS News, however, that the next few days would determine if Putin was serious about achieving peace. It is against this backdrop that a group of European leaders – including the ***’s Keir Starmer, Nato secretary-general Mark Rutte, Germany’s chancellor Olaf Scholz and the European Commission’s Ursula von der Leyen – will meet in Paris. A statement received by CBS News, the BBC’s US partner, confirmed French President Emmanuel Macron would hold an informal meeting in the afternoon on Ukraine and European security. However, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said the summit should not be “over-dramatised”. US Ukraine envoy Kellog had earlier dismissed concerns over Europe not being invited to Saudi Arabia, arguing previous negotiations had failed due to the involvement of too many parties. “It may be like chalk on the blackboard, it may grate a little bit, but I am telling you something that is really quite honest,” he said on Saturday. The meetings mark an acceleration in Trump’s efforts to achieve a swift end to the war. The White House said the US president had held a “lengthy” phone-call with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday, after which Trump said negotiations to stop the “ridiculous war” in Ukraine would begin immediately. He also said it was not “practical” for Ukraine to join Nato and “unlikely” it could return to its 2014 pre-invasion borders. Ukraine has repeatedly called for Nato membership and has rejected ceding territory as part of any peace deal. Trump’s stance has also been echoed by his defence secretary, fuelling European alarm that the US may be making concessions to Russia before any peace deal was negotiated. Pete Hegseth also said European nations must provide the “overwhelming” share of funding for Ukraine – claiming the US would no longer “tolerate an imbalanced relationship” with its allies. US Vice-President JD Vance likewise told the Munich Security Conference on Friday that Europe must “step up in a big way to provide for its own defence”, in his speech largely spent criticising European democracies. Zelensky called on Saturday for the creation of a European army, arguing the continent could no longer count on Washington. Meanwhile, the war in Ukraine continued on Sunday – with Zelensky saying a Russian attack had left at least 100,000 people without power in Mykolaiv. He said homes were without heating following a drone strike on the city’s “critical infrastructure”. Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022, having already seized Crimea and part of the eastern Donbas region in 2014.

  25. Volodymyr Zelenski not attending US-Russia talks in Saudi Arabia as Donald Trump attempts to end Ukraine war Volodymyr Zelenski not attending US-Russia talks in Saudi Arabia as Donald Trump attempts to end Ukraine war Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenski will reportedly not attend US-Russia peace talks in Saudi Arabia, claiming he was not invited, as scrutiny over an agreement made without Ukraine continues. US President Donald Trump has continued to pursue a face-to-face meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin as he assembled a hand-picked team to lead peace talks. A special envoy, led by US Secretary of State Mark Rubio, US Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff, security adviser Mike Waltz and CIA Director John Ratcliffe is preparing to travel to the Middle East nation for talks to end Moscow’s war with its neighbour. A Ukrainian team has arrived in Saudi Arabia ahead of the talks, however, Mr Zelenski has not, saying “I do not know what it is” when asked about the US-Russia talks in the Middle East. Camera IconFILE – Steve Witkoff will travel to Saudi Arabia for US-Russia talks. Credit: Julia Demaree Nikhinson/AP Economy Minister Yulia Svyrydenko is part of the Ukraine team in Saudi Arabia, however, didn’t clarify whether there is a link between the trip and the peace talks. In a Facebook post, she said that the Ukrainian delegation’s focus is on strengthening economic ties, as Kyiv “prepares to sign important economic agreements with countries in the region”. Andriy Yermak, a top adviser to Mr Zelenski, said earlier on Sunday that there was no possibility of Ukrainian and Russian representatives meeting directly in the immediate future. In a Telegram post, Mr Yermak said the Ukrainians weren’t planning to enter talks “until we develop a plan” to end the war and bring about a “just peace”. Mykhailo Podolyak, another advisor to Mr Zelenski, denied that Ukraine will participate in any planned US-Russia meetings in Saudi Arabia on Saturday. “There is nothing on the negotiating table that would be worth discussing,” Mr Podolyak said on Ukrainian television. Camera IconFILE PHOTO – US President Donald Trump, left, is seeking a face-to-face meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Credit: Pablo Martinez Monsivais/AP But Ms Svyrydenko’s remarks came within hours of an announcement by Mr Witkoff that high-level meetings were imminent in Saudi Arabia to discuss a negotiated settlement to the war in Ukraine. Speaking to Fox News, Mr Witkoff said that he and national security adviser Mike Waltz will be “having meetings at the direction of the president,” and hope to make “some really good progress with regard to Russia-Ukraine”. Mr Witkoff didn’t specify who they would be meeting and what they would discuss, but he said that he was leaving for Saudi Arabia on Sunday evening. Following a lengthy phone call with Mr Putin on Wednesday, Mr Trump noted that they “agreed to have our respective teams start negotiations immediately” on ending the fighting. Earlier this week, Russian officials and state media took a triumphant tone after Mr Trump jettisoned three years of US policy and announced that he would likely meet soon with Mr Putin to negotiate a peace deal in the almost three-year war in Ukraine. Mr Trump’s announcement created a major diplomatic upheaval that could herald a watershed moment for Ukraine and Europe. Mr Zelenski said that he wouldn’t accept any negotiations about Ukraine that don’t include his country. European governments have also demanded a seat at the table. A handful of leaders are gathering in Paris for a discussion about Ukraine on Monday. Mr Putin has been ostracised by the West since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. In 2023, the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for the Russian leader. Mr Witkoff didn’t directly respond to the question about whether Ukraine would have to give up a “significant portion” of its territory as part of any negotiated settlement. “Those are details, and I’m not dismissive of the details, they’re important. But I think the beginning here is trust-building. It’s getting everybody to understand that this war does not belong continuing, that it should end. That’s what the president has directed us to do,” he said. – With AP Source link #Volodymyr #Zelenski #attending #USRussia #talks #Saudi #Arabia #Donald #Trump #attempts #Ukraine #war Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content] For verified travel tips and real support, visit: [Hidden Content]
