America's path to lower inflation depends in part on trade wars and actual wars becoming less economically disruptive. In recent days, both have taken turns that threaten the opposite. Why it matters: A period of relative calm on those fronts is now giving way to renewed tensions, with Canada, China and Iran all posing fresh economic risks. What's going on: The U.S.-Canada trade fight is shaping up to become an all-out trade war, threatening economic and political fallout on both sides of the border. Neither side is backing down, with Canada expected to target politically sensitive U.S. sectors with tariffs in the run-up to the midterms. - The Trump administration reportedly plans to impose an additional 7.5% tariff on Chinese goods in…

Roughly 300 supporters dressed in pink gathered outside a Massachusetts courthouse during Lindsay Clancy's triple-murder trial, a display that has drawn sharp criticism from those who say the real victims, three dead children, are being forgotten. The rally Thursday outside Plymouth County Superior Court marked the largest public show of support during the nearly month-long trial of Clancy, a former labor and delivery nurse charged with murdering her three children, five-year-old Cora, three-year-old Dawson, and eight-month-old Callan, in the basement of the family's Duxbury, Massachusetts, home on January 24, 2023. Clancy's defense does not dispute that she killed the children. Her attorney, Kevin Reddington, argues she should not be…Open

A new 64-page report alleges a sprawling network of left-wing organizations spent roughly $638 million through tax-exempt voter-registration groups during the 2024 election cycle, and the money trail leads through leaked memos, forgery charges, and ad-targeting schemes that excluded conservatives. The Capital Research Center, a conservative watchdog group, examined the financial records of 83 leading 501(c)(3) voter-registration and get-out-the-vote organizations and found they spent approximately $638.7 million in 2024. That figure represents a 30 percent jump over 2020 levels, roughly 10 percent after adjusting for inflation. Over the same period, inflation-adjusted spending through traditional political action committees fell by about…Open

A bull rammed into a moving car during patron saint festivities in a small Spanish town, crashing through the backseat window with its horns while three passengers sat trapped inside, the latest in a string of bull-related incidents across Spain.

The bull's horns punched through the glass and lodged inside the car, The Sun reported , coming within inches of the backseat passenger who was filming the encounter. The horns came even closer to the man sitting in the front seat. For several seconds, the bull remained…Open

Lesley Vogel, the estranged mother of actress Hayden Panettiere, is publicly disputing the story told by the man who was with her daughter when she died, and pressing South Carolina law enforcement to dig deeper.

EMTs responded for a cardiac arrest. They administered Narcan, the drug used to reverse opioid overdoses, and performed CPR. Panettiere was pronounced dead at the scene. Now Vogel, 70, says the account Hickerson and his brother have given about that day is "full of holes." In interviews with the Daily Mail and…Open
