Unbrandedflipped into Newsworthy1:3015 hours agoTrump Signs Bill Funding DHS, Ending Record 76-Day ShutdownUnbranded - unbranded - NewsworthyUS President Donald Trump has signed a bill ending the record 76-day partial government shutdown that caused major disruptions at US airports. Trump’s signature restores funding to the Coast Guard, TSA, Secret Service, FEMA, the Infrastructure Security Agency, and other non-immigration-related sub-agencies. Although the legislation reopens DHS, it does not allocate funds for Immigration and Customs Enforcement or certain parts of Customs and Border Protection. It comes over two months after DHS funding expired due to political disputes over Trump’s hardline immigration policies. Democrats refused to fund ICE and CBP, calling for reforms following two deadly shootings in Minnesota involving federal immigration officers. However, Republicans rejected these demands, advocating for full funding, leading to a deadlock. Meanwhile, immigration enforcement had been funded with $170 billion approved by Congress as part of Trump’s 2025 tax cuts bill. The shutdown resulted in many workers being furloughed and unpaid, following last year’s government closure, which lasted a record 43 days. The White House had warned that the temporary funding that Trump had tapped to pay TSA and other agency personnel would “soon run out.”

US President Donald Trump faced a deadline to end the Iran war or justify its extension to Congress, but the date was expected to pass without any change in the war's course. “For war powers resolution purposes, the hostilities that began on Saturday, February 28, have terminated,” the official said. The official stated that no exchange of fire has occurred between US armed forces and Iran since the fragile ceasefire began. The War Powers Resolution of 1973 requires the president to end military action after 60 days unless Congress declares war or authorizes the use of military force. Analysts and congressional aides expected Trump to seek a 30-day extension or ignore the deadline, with the administration claiming the ceasefire ended the conflict. During his testimony on Capitol Hill, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told the Senate Armed Services Committee that the 60-day clock had been paused because of the current ceasefire. Meanwhile, Iran continues to exert control over the strategic Strait of Hormuz, while the US Navy enforces a blockade to prevent Iranian oil tankers from reaching open waters.

Clark suffered the injury during the third quarter, when she landed on Wings forward Alanna Smith’s foot after attempting a three-pointer.

The game was Clark’s second in a Fever shirt since July last year, with the two-time All-Star playing in just 13 games in 2025 due to injury.

Lee Phelps, a spokesperson for UK bookmaker William Hill, says that Trump’s odds of winning the prestigious prize are on the rise. This comes despite the continuation of war in the Middle East, started by both the US and Israel, which shows no signs of slowing down, despite Trump’s claims that peace talks continue. “Although the Norwegian Nobel Committee have not confirmed that Donald Trump is among the 287 candidates for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, we make Trump the leading contender to take this year’s award,” spokesperson Lee Phelps said, according to Mediaite. Trump has been vocal about his desire to receive the award, complaining after last year’s went to Venezuelan politician María Corina Machado. Machado, however, did award Trump her medal, saying it was a recognition of his commitment to her country’s freedom, after he seized Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro. Phelps says the betting company has priced Trump at “3/1 to claim the 2026 prize– a 25 percent chance,” which he says “is a longer price than we quoted late last year.” Trump has been nominated for the prize by several world leaders, including allies and fellow war collaborator, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
