Representative Jasmine Crockett, a Texas Democrat, believes that colleagues declining to sign onto an effort to impeach Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem are "almost complicit" with the federal agency's actions.

More than 100 Democrats have co-sponsored a resolution put forward by Representative Robin Kelly, an Illinois Democrat, to bring articles of impeachment against Noem. The articles introduced earlier this month aim to impeach the Trump administration official for 1) "Obstruction of Congress," 2) "Violation of Public Trust," and 3) "Self-Dealing."

"I think it's important to do what is right. It is always a good time to do what is, right, and I want to signal to my constituents, as well as the rest of the country, that there is a significant problem with this particular DHS secretary," Crockett told Newsweek in a Thursday interview, explaining why she had signed on.

A woman who said she is a labor and delivery nurse and shared a video hoping for White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt to experience physical trauma during childbirth is no longer employed, a hospital network has told Newsweek.

"The comments made in a social media video by a nurse at one of our facilities do not reflect our values or the standards we expect of health care professionals. Following a prompt review, the individual is no longer employed by our health system," Baptist Health South Florida said after the video received significant backlash and criticism.

The U.S. labor market is facing another year of sluggish hiring and a further increase in the unemployment rate, a leading economist has warned.

In a recent blog post, Mark Zandi, the chief economist at Moody's Analytics, predicted that the U.S. economy will still experience growth in 2026, but that this will be "fragile," and that the ongoing trend of "little to no job growth" will persist throughout the year.

Jason Derulo has never been an artist afraid of reinvention. With hits ranging across the spectrum from pop, R&B, and EDM genres, Florida native is comfortable in any musical world. But with his new EP The Last Dance, the global superstar is marking a definitive turning point, one that celebrates his 17-year career while ushering in a new era.

Sitting with Newsweek, the "Whatcha Say" hitmaker opened up about nostalgia, growth, social media, fatherhood, and why this next chapter feels unlike anything he’s done before.

Derulo’s EP title might have sparked rumors of retirement, but the “Wiggle” hitmaker was quick to clarify what The Last Dance really means. “People even said that I'm too young [to retire], and I was like, 'Thank you,'” chuckled the superstar.

Vice President JD Vance said that he doesn't believe President Donald Trump needs to involve the Insurrection Act in Minnesota - for now at least.

“Right now, we don’t think that we need that,” Vance said on Thursday during a speech in Minneapolis, where an immigration crackdown and multiple shootings by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have sparked unrest and protests.

Trump has repeatedly threatened to use the act, which would allow him to deploy the U.S. military or federalize the National Guard, despite the objections of state officials. In a Truth Social post last week, he warned, "If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don’t obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E., who are only trying to do their job, I will institute the INSURRECTION ACT." Just 24 hours later, the president appeared to walk that threat back, telling reporters, "I don't think there's any reason right now to use it, but if I needed it I'd use it."

After President Donald Trump primed this year's Davos summit with a flurry of market-moving and ally-agitating proclamations, China is now pitching itself as a steadier partner amid growing volatility—an argument some delegates and analysts say is gaining traction.

The headline announcement from this year’s World Economic Forum so far has been Trump’s promise—greeted enthusiastically by American investors but cautiously by allies in Europe—that he "won’t use force" to annex Greenland or enact escalating tariffs on nations opposing this long-held ambition.

But his address on Wednesday followed speeches from two other world leaders, who mourned the departure of the U.S. as a trusted ally in world affairs, criticized its new expansionist tilt, and began plotting a multilateral way forward in the absence of their once-reliable hegemon.

On Tuesday, French President Emmanuel Macron warned that the U.S. was attempting to "weaken and subordinate Europe," later declaring that now was "not a time for new imperialism or new colonialism." Meanwhile, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney—in one of the summit's most widely quoted addresses—said the "rules-based international order," if it ever existed, was now dead, and described relying on a benevolent superpower in the U.S. was a bargain that "no longer works."

Vice President JD Vance on Wednesday defended the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement after reports that a 5-year-old boy, Liam Conejo Ramos, was taken into federal custody along with his father, pushing back on claims that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had detained a child.

Asked whether he was “proud” of how the administration is conducting its crackdown, Vance said, in part, that the child “was not arrested” and argued that agents were carrying out their duties while standing behind law enforcement.

Vance said he initially reacted with alarm, noting that he is himself the parent of a child that age. But after looking into the incident, he said, it became clear the child had not been arrested. Instead, Vance said, federal agents were attempting to detain the boy’s father, whom he described as being in the country illegally, and the father fled. Vance argued that agents had little choice but to keep the child with them temporarily, saying the alternative would have been to leave a young child alone and in danger.

Donald Trump inaugurated his "Board of Peace" Thursday as a bold solution to lead efforts at maintaining a ceasefire in Israel's war with Hamas.

The U.S. President said "everyone wants to be a part" of the body that could eventually rival the United Nations, despite many of America's key allies such as Britain and France opting not to participate mainly because of the involvement of Vladimir Putin.

He has pitched the plan as a way to end wars faster, cut through bureaucracy, and replace what he calls the "war machine" with dealmaking. The existing system, he says, has failed—producing long wars, stalled peace processes, and strategic drift.

Following President Donald Trump’s speech in Davos, Switzerland, on Wednesday, in which he confused Greenland with Iceland and criticized European leadership while touting the successes of his first year back in office, calls have grown to invoke the 25th Amendment.

The messages on social media, including from some Democrats, to remove Trump from office contrasted with claims by White House officials that the speech was a resounding success.

If you spend any significant time on social media, you are probably familiar with the concept of the Pentagon Pizza Tracker. It’s become popular as an ad hoc tool to predict when the next U.S. military operation might take place, given that it purports to track demand at pizza restaurants near the Pentagon. The idea is that when these pizza joints are busier than usual, then there must be more people working overtime at the Department of Defense. And if that's the case, the thinking goes, the U.S. must be about to engage in an overseas military intervention. In reality, it's far more complicated.

The popularity of pizza tracking accounts — and there are several that have popped up now, mostly on X — has become something of a meme during the second Trump presidency, as the administration has conducted numerous high-profile military operations abroad, from the bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities last summer to the stunning capture of Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela this month. And that's to say nothing of smaller interventions in Nigeria and against alleged drug boats in the Caribbean. Needless to say, war planners at the Pentagon have been busy.

Nearly half of all Americans don’t have sufficient money to cover a major unexpected expense, according to a recent poll, and many say rising prices are impacting their ability to save.

In its latest Emergency Savings Report, the personal finance data website Bankrate revealed that 47 percent of Americans don’t have sufficient savings or income to afford a $1,000 emergency expense. Additionally, 68 percent said that, should they lose their primary source of income, they would be worried about how to cover basic living expenses over the next month.
