Jaishankar’s remarks came after a meeting with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Washington on Tuesday (Jan 23) a day after Trump’s inauguration. Trump issued a raft of executive orders this week that aim to clamp down on illegal immigration and expedite his goal of deporting millions of immigrants. Jaishankar said New Delhi was open to taking back undocumented Indians and was in the process of verifying those…

Only the Jets could turn a home run into a single. On Wednesday, the Jets wisely hired Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn as their next head coach. As much as New York deserves praise for the hiring, naturally, the franchise’s top brass couldn’t let a good thing last. After Glenn’s hiring, reports surfaced that the organization had reopened the search process to hire a general manager after firing Joe Douglas in November. Commanders assistant general manager Lance Newmark received a second interview with the Jets on Tuesday, along with Glenn, and the two have a history together in Detroit. Prior…
In its heyday in the mid-20th century, the steel mill in Weirton, W.Va., employed 13,000 people and offered workers a relatively stable blue-collar life. In 2003, Weirton Steel filed for bankruptcy. Shops downtown boarded up their windows, and young people moved away from the declining Appalachian town.Weirton’s prospects were turning around in May 2023 when I made a trip there as energy secretary. Form Energy, which builds large iron-air batteries to store energy for the electric grid, had just broken ground on a 550,000-square-foot factory. Today, the production line is humming, and when the plant reaches full capacity, it will…

Two similar overlaid patterns create what are called moiré patterns, which may be related to superconductivity in some atom-thick materialsRICHARD GERMAIN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY A mysterious form of superconductivity has been found in a twisted crystal, which could help researchers better understand how to make super-efficient electronics. Superconductivity is a rare property that lets some materials conduct electricity with no resistance. We only know of materials that are superconductors at low temperatures or extreme pressures, but a very high or room-temperature superconductor could transform the world’s energy systems by allowing us to send limitless energy over vast distances.

In December 2023, Angela McArdle, the chair of the Libertarian Party, flew to Mar-a-Lago to meet with Donald J. Trump.Mr. Trump wanted to know how to win over libertarian voters, a constituency he thought could help him reclaim the presidency, Ms. McArdle said in an interview.

Mr. Ulbricht was regarded as a libertarian hero for building an illegal market outside the government’s reach.“I love freeing people,” Mr. Trump said, according to…
The United States is in the process of creating a new embassy in Lebanon that is far larger than any government facility in the nation. In fact, the 19 building, 43-acre compound is 2.5X larger than the White House and accompanying land and 10X the size of Nine Elms in London. The only larger embassy is the one the US built in Iraq. “The Land of Plenty,” as the structure will be called, will cost US taxpayers an estimated $1.2 billion. Why does the US government need a mega compound in Lebanon? It is all about Israel. The site in…

For those who are unaware, Musk gave a speech at President Trump’s inauguration in which he spoke about giving his heart to the people, then gestured by placing a hand on his chest and motioning out to the crowd. Naturally, the media decided this was a Nazi salute, because that is all they see anywhere they look. Admittedly, it does look a little strange, but then again Elon is a strange…
