President Donald Trump began his second term by issuing “full, complete and unconditional” pardons to about 1,500 individuals involved in the January 6, 2021, attack on the United States Capitol. He also commuted the sentences of 14 Proud Boys and Oath Keepers members who were convicted or charged with seditious conspiracy related to the violence. The next day, Trump announced he had pardoned Ross Ulbricht, the founder of Silk Road, a dark web marketplace, who was jailed in connection with the sale of illegal drugs on the platform. So how do presidents compare in the number of clemencies they have…

Karlsson, 32, also missed the first eight regular season games with an undisclosed injury. Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet wrote Thursday that there’s been a lingering injury bothering Karlsson that could prevent him from suiting up for Sweden in next month’s 4 Nations Face-Off, so it stands to reason the two are related.One of three players remaining on Vegas’ roster from their inaugural season, Karlsson has operated as the Knights’ third-line center when healthy in 2024-25. With the reduction in role has come a slight decrease in minutes, with his 17:11 ATOI clocking in as his lowest during his Vegas tenure…
In The Times, David Brooks reacted to the confirmation hearing for Pete Hegseth, Trump’s choice for secretary of defense: “I went through high school trying to bluff my way through class after doing none of the reading, and in Hegseth, I recognize a master of the craft.” Of the debased nature of our political and cultural discourse, David added: “In the 19th century we had the Lincoln-Douglas debates. Today it would be the Lincoln-Douglas TikTok wars, followed by ‘Three Takeaways From the Lincoln-Douglas Debates,’ followed by a panel of pundits (like me) analyzing whether Douglas had helped himself with swing…

Life would have been particularly hot and dry if dinosaurs really did emerge near the equatorMark Witton/The Trustees of the Natural History Museum, London Dinosaurs may have first evolved close to the equator, not in the far south of the southern hemisphere as previously thought. A modelling study suggests they originated in a region that covers what is now the Amazon rainforest, Congo basin and Sahara desert. “When you consider the gaps in the fossil record and the evolutionary tree of dinosaurs, it could very likely be a centre point for where dinosaurs originated,” says Joel Heath at University College…
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump spoke to Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Wednesday in his first call with a foreign leader of his second term, appearing to renew efforts from four years earlier to strengthen U.S. ties to the kingdom. “The two leaders discussed efforts to bring stability to the Middle East, bolster regional security, and combat terrorism,” according to a White House readout released Thursday. Trump and the crown prince also “discussed the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s international economic ambitions over the next four years as well as trade and other opportunities to increase the mutual…
If you’re looking for a new reason to be nervous about artificial intelligence, try this: Some of the smartest humans in the world are struggling to create tests that A.I. systems can’t pass.For years, A.I. systems were measured by giving new models a variety of standardized benchmark tests. Many of these tests consisted of challenging, S.A.T.-caliber problems in areas like math, science and logic. Comparing the models’ scores over time served as a rough measure of A.I. progress.But A.I. systems eventually got too good at those tests, so new, harder tests were created — often with the types of questions…
FORMER President Joe Biden spent his first day eliminating America’s energy independence, while current President Donald Trump did the precise opposite. Donald Trump immediately declared a national energy emergency, stating a “precariously inadequate and intermittent energy supply, and an increasingly unreliable grid” threatens national security. America is finally leaving the Paris Climate Agreement by executive order. Nothing has hurt the energy sector more than the climate change agenda. America was burdened by the globalist demand to eradicate fossil fuels and achieve net-zero greenhouse emissions by 2050. The sheer amount of money that has gone into this effort is astounding. Climate…
