WASHINGTON — In one of the wildest nights at Daytona International Speedway, William Byron etched his name into NASCAR history by winning the Daytona 500 for the second year in a row. The Hendrick Motorsports driver not only survived the chaos of overtime racing but also became the first back-to-back winner of “The Great American Race” since Denny Hamlin in 2019–2020.

For decades, women’s basketball has struggled to earn mainstream recognition. Outside of ESPN’s contractual coverage of the WNBA, the sport has largely been absent from major media spotlights. That changed dramatically during last season’s NCAA Women’s March Madness, when LSU ended Caitlin Clark’s electrifying run with Iowa in the national championship game. That single event ignited a wave of attention for women’s basketball. The matchup had everything — elite-level play, compelling storylines, and high-drama moments. Angel Reese emerged as another star, but Caitlin Clark was the undeniable centerpiece. With her deep shooting range reminiscent of Stephen Curry, Clark captivated sports…
For nearly half a century, the New York Yankees stood as a rare and steadfast symbol of tradition in Major League Baseball. Among their most visible rules was the famed facial hair ban — a policy implemented by late owner George Steinbrenner in 1976. The rule prohibited players from growing beards, allowing only neatly trimmed mustaches. For decades, this grooming standard became as synonymous with the Yankees as their pinstripes. But on Friday, in a surprising move that sent ripples through the baseball world, Yankees managing partner Hal Steinbrenner announced the end of the team’s long-standing no-beard policy. Speaking ahead…

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Associated Press (AP) has filed a federal lawsuit against three top Trump administration officials, accusing them of violating First Amendment rights by blocking AP journalists from presidential events. The move marks a significant escalation in a high-profile dispute over press freedom and editorial independence. The suit, filed Friday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, names White House Chief of Staff Susan Wiles, Deputy Chief of Staff Taylor Budowich, and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt as defendants. It comes just ten days after the White House began restricting the AP’s access to certain events,…
NEW YORK — The New York City Law Department has filed a federal lawsuit against the Trump administration, alleging the unlawful seizure of more than $80 million in federal funds previously awarded to the city by the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). These funds were intended to reimburse costs already incurred in managing the unprecedented influx of asylum seekers since spring 2022. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, challenges the federal government’s decision to remove the funds—already approved, awarded, and paid—directly from a city bank account on February 11, 2025,…
Washington, D.C. — The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday temporarily halted President Donald Trump’s attempt to remove Hampton Dellinger, the head of the Office of Special Counsel (OSC), in a case that marks the first major legal confrontation over Trump’s sweeping federal government overhaul. In a rare procedural move, the justices neither approved nor denied the administration’s emergency request. Instead, the Court issued a brief order saying it would wait before taking further action, citing the fact that lower court proceedings are progressing quickly. A key hearing is set for February 26.

The U.S. Supreme Court has temporarily halted President Donald Trump’s plan to immediately remove Hampton Dellinger, the head of the Office of Special Counsel (OSC), an independent federal agency tasked with investigating whistleblower complaints. The ruling, issued Friday, means Dellinger will remain in his position at least until February 26, when a lower court’s temporary order is set to expire. Dellinger, appointed by President Joe Biden in 2024 for a five-year term, was abruptly fired via email on February 7, just weeks after Trump returned to the White House. The dismissal letter reportedly failed to cite the legal “for-cause” requirements—such…
Washington, D.C. — In one of the most significant military leadership overhauls in recent history, President Donald Trump has dismissed Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair Gen. Charles “CQ” Brown Jr. along with several other senior military leaders.
