President Donald Trump’s administration moved Monday to block a lawsuit Minnesota officials filed almost six years ago alleging oil companies and a petroleum trade group deceived state residents about climate change. The U.S. Department of Justice, the administration’s law enforcement arm, filed an action in federal court in Minneapolis arguing that the federal government has the authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions, not states, and that Minnesota officials are trying to improperly impose their policy preferences on the rest of the country. “The Constitution does not tolerate such a conflict,” Justice Department attorneys argued in the filing. “Nor does it…

Greece has rescued all nine crew members, eight Turkish and one Azerbaijani, of a cargo ship that hit rocks and sank off the island of Andros early on Wednesday, a Greek coast guard official said. The Vanuatu-flagged freighter had left Albania with hundreds of metric tons of soda on board and was bound for Ukraine when it sank off Andros, the coast guard official said. It was not immediately clear what caused the cargo vessel, which was identified as Corsage C by the Marine Traffic ship tracker, to run aground. A Greek shipping ministry official, who spoke on condition of…

The fast-growing private credit industry’s deepening links with traditional banks and asset managers create risks to the global financial system, the global Financial Stability Board watchdog said on Wednesday, warning some broader measures showed upwards trends of defaults. Signs of some underlying stress are emerging across private credit – typically lending to mid-sized companies by non-banks – including rising defaults, while a lack of transparency is posing challenges for regulators and investors alike, the watchdog said in its “Vulnerabilities in Private Credit” report. It singled out the “retailisation” of private credit – particularly in the United States where funds are…

The New York Times was sued on Tuesday by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which accused the newspaper of passing over a white man for a top editorial role because of his race and gender, in order to meet what the agency viewed as illegal diversity goals. In a complaint filed in Manhattan federal court, the EEOC said the Times discriminated against the male candidate based on his race or sex, violating Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The reverse discrimination lawsuit reflects EEOC Chair Andrea Lucas’ new approach to employment cases, as the agency aligns…

Microsoft, Google and Elon Musk’s xAI agreed to give the U.S. government early access to new artificial intelligence models for national security testing, as U.S. officials grow alarmed by the hacking capabilities of Anthropic’s newly unveiled Mythos. The Center for AI Standards and Innovation at the Department of Commerce said on Tuesday that the agreement would allow it to evaluate the models before deployment and conduct research to assess their capabilities and security risks. The agreement fulfills a pledge the Trump administration made in July 2025 to partner with technology companies to vet their AI models for “national security risks.”…

The Trump administration is proposing rules to tighten security against rogue drone flights. Owners of certain facilities such as energy plants, oil refineries, state prisons and amusement parks would be able to request restrictions on drones near their sites under proposed regulations from the US Federal Aviation Administration. The rules, released Tuesday, require applicants to explain why a restriction is necessary for “aviation safety, protection of people and property on the ground, national security, or homeland security.” That includes describing drone operations over the facility during the previous 24 months, highlighting any gaps or weaknesses that might be exploited and…

A fire broke out Monday in the Broadway theater that hosts “The Book of Mormon,” forcing the long-running musical to close, at least temporarily, as the historic venue undergoes repairs. The blaze, which began in an electrical room, caused “substantial damage” to the Eugene O’Neill Theatre, according to New York Fire Department Assistant Chief David Simms. The cause of the fire remains under investigation. “Everyone has been safely removed from the theater,” the theater’s owner, ATG Entertainment, said in a statement. “We will keep all parties abreast of this developing situation.” It wasn’t immediately clear how long the 1,108-seat theater…

Farmers across the Great Plains are confronting an intense drought that threatens winter wheat harvests and is pushing cattle producers toward costly feed purchases, prompting some to abandon plans to expand their herds. The dryness is expected to persist through spring after weeks of scant rainfall and a late-winter heat spell that fueled massive pasture fires across the nation’s breadbasket. Drought now covers nearly 90% of Nebraska and Oklahoma, with more than half of Nebraska in “extreme” drought. Such conditions have historically driven cattle producers to sell off animals and forced farmers to drill new irrigation wells as rivers run…

A U.S. Department of Labor whistleblower investigation has found that a railroad company wrongfully suspended an employee for reporting a train collision and safety concerns, in violation of the Federal Railroad Safety Act.

While the employee was not present at the time of the crash, which caused minimal damage and did not result in any…
