President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order to restrict “chemical and surgical” sex-change procedures for minors. “Across the country today, medical professionals are maiming and sterilizing a growing number of impressionable children under the radical and false claim that adults can change a child’s sex through a series of irreversible medical interventions,” the order states.  “This dangerous trend will be a stain on our Nation’s history, and it must end.” This story is breaking.

The majority of this growth is driven by net migration—the difference between the number of people entering and leaving the UK—estimated at 4.9 million over the next 10 years. Downing Street has expressed its desire to reduce what it calls the “staggeringly high” migration levels but has ruled out setting an “arbitrary” cap. The ONS predicts…

President Donald Trump on Monday said Microsoft was in talks to acquire TikTok, shortly after the social media app went dark last week. He further suggested that he would like to see a bidding war over the popular platform. Trump previously said that he was in discussions with several parties about a potential acquisition of TikTok, which has about 170 million American users, and expects to make a decision on the app’s future within the next 30 days, Reuters reported.

In response to the Trump administration’s rollback of policies protecting certain locations, including schools, from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids, several large U.S. public school districts have taken action to safeguard undocumented students and their families. The administration’s move lifted restrictions on ICE operations at sensitive locations, such as schools, houses of worship, and hospitals, prompting concerns that immigrant students could be targeted.

As a result, public school districts typically do not inquire about or retain records of students’…

The latest artificial intelligence (AI) models launched by Chinese startup DeepSeek have spurred turmoil in the technology sector following its emergence as a potential rival to leading U.S.-based firms. DeepSeek wrote in a paper last month that it trained its DeepSeek-V3 model with less than $6 million worth of computing power from what it says are 2,000 Nvidia H800 chips to achieve a level of performance on par with the most advanced models from OpenAI and Meta. Those chips are less advanced than the most cutting edge chips on the market, which are subject to export controls, though DeepSeek claims it…

On Saturday, Politico’s White House correspondents reported about the sharp contrast between the “omnipresent” President Donald Trump and the “invisible” and “shielded” former President Biden. White House journalist Eli Stokols and White House Bureau Chief Dasha Burns stated that since Trump’s inauguration last week, he has made numerous policy announcements, delivered numerous speeches, and engaged in lengthy interviews with media. Compared to the more subdued Biden years, Trump’s massive media presence is a change. “Yes, Trump was eager to sign all those executive orders reversing Biden’s policies,” they stated. “But the bigger flex for Trump, 78, was to contrast his…
