Law enforcement has identified and is looking for a suspect in the politically motivated attack on a Colombian highway, which has resulted in 20 fatalities. The BBC and The Miami Herald stated that Colombian Minister of Defence Pedro Sanchez claimed that Ivan Jacob Idrobo Arredondo, also known as “Marlon,” gave the command for the Saturday morning bombing on the Pan-American Highway. Arredondo is thought to be a former member of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, also known as the FARC. He is a member of a dissident group that left the group when it signed a peace agreement with…

The Department of Transportation has been contacted by an industry group that represents low-cost airlines about establishing a $2.5 billion fund to support their operations given the continued high cost of jet fuel. According to The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times, the Association of Value Airlines, which represents Allegiant Air, Avelo Air, Frontier Airlines, Spirit Airlines, and Sun Country, stated on Monday that it has contacted the Trump administration regarding the pool because an 88% increase in jet fuel prices is jeopardising their capacity to conduct business. In addition to the AVA request, Spirit Airlines has been…

The Trump administration and Republicans have won their growing battle over redistricting ahead of the 2018 elections as the U.S. Supreme Court allowed Texas to use its unique mid-decade congressional map. Under pressure from President Donald Trump, Texas was the first state to redesign its congressional map. Republicans are attempting to maintain their slim majority in the House of Representatives, which has led to a gerrymandering arms race in which both parties rewrite maps in states they control. Two Democratic-led states have changed their boundaries through ballot measures approved by voters, while four Republican-led states, including Texas, have done so…

Following the shooting, DOJ requests that the court dismiss the White House ballroom case. Citing the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner over the weekend, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche announced on Monday that the Justice Department has requested a court to drop a lawsuit over President Donald Trump’s proposed White House ballroom. The National Trust for Historic Preservation’s lawsuit has put the completion of the $400 million ballroom, which has been under construction since early October, in jeopardy, leaving a construction site where the White House’s East Wing previously stood. Following the arrest of an armed man at…

Following a shooting incident at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner in Washington, D.C., President Donald Trump returned to the White House, and a suspect is being held. According to a statement from Anthony Guglielmi, head of communications for the U.S. Secret Service, there was a gunshot incident close to the Washington Hilton’s main security screening area. One individual is being held while law enforcement investigates the event. The president, first lady, and Cabinet officials who attended the meal are all safe, according to Guglielmi. At a news conference upon his return to the White House, Trump expressed his belief…

Sloth World Orlando, a proposed attraction in Central Florida, will not open because at least 31 of its sloths perished in an improperly licensed facility during the previous two years. The Sloth Conservation Foundation, The Sloth Institute, and investigative reporters conducted an investigation and discovered that Sloth World Orlando had imported at least 69 wild-caught sloths that it intended to display in an educational “slotharium,” but the animals were being mistreated and dying, according to the organizations. According to the Orlando Sentinel, building inspectors in Orange County, Florida, issued a stop-work order at a warehouse where Sloth World Orlando kept…

As Wall Street pulls back from its once-unquestioning enthusiasm for artificial intelligence, a quieter reassessment is underway. The sharp sell-offs that rippled through software stocks in early February 2026 were not just about fear — they marked a turning point in how investors distinguish between AI hype and durable business models. In that reassessment, UiPath has unexpectedly moved into focus. While much of the software sector was swept up in a volatile correction, institutional investors were increasing their exposure to the automation company, signaling confidence at a moment when the broader market was growing uneasy about AI’s costs, risks, and…

In the space of just a few months, cinema audiences have been offered two radically different answers to the same question: what should Dracula represent now? After Robert Eggers’ stark, Oscar-nominated Nosferatu leaned heavily into dread and decay, Luc Besson has gone the other way entirely. His new film, Dracula, released in theaters on February 6, 2026, recasts one of popular culture’s most fearsome monsters as a tragic romantic, driven less by bloodlust than by centuries of unresolved grief. That shift matters because it reflects a broader recalibration in how classic horror figures are being repurposed for contemporary audiences. Besson’s…

The most consequential development in the eastern United States this winter is not snow, but air — a mass of Arctic cold so intense that forecasters say it could define the entire 2025–26 season. As a lobe of the polar vortex plunges south from eastern Canada, meteorologists warn that more than 100 million people are about to experience the coldest conditions of the winter so far, with life-threatening wind chills and widespread disruption expected through the weekend. The outbreak is forecast to peak between Friday, Feb. 6, and Sunday, Feb. 8, when temperatures and winds will combine to produce dangerous…

Indiana officials are weighing changes to the state’s missing-person alert system as pressure builds to expand when — and how — law enforcement can warn the public, following the disappearance and presumed death of 17-year-old Hailey Buzbee. The debate is forcing lawmakers, police, and national advocates to confront whether rules written decades ago still work in an era of online grooming, gaming platforms, and rapid digital communication. Buzbee vanished from her home in Fishers, Indiana, in early January after meeting a man through online gaming, according to investigators. On Monday, authorities said she is presumed dead, and a 39-year-old man…
