SUFFERN, N.Y.— For the first time since Gerald Ford stumped at the Rockland County Courthouse nearly half a century ago, a sitting president set foot in one of New York’s most competitive congressional districts — and Rep. Mike Lawler made sure everyone knew it. President Trump’s visit to Rockland County on Friday, orchestrated by the two-term Republican congressman who represents a district where half of households include a first responder or veteran, signaled the White House’s willingness to invest political capital in a suburban battleground that could determine control of the House in November. Mr. Trump used the rally to…

OTTAWA — Andie Bower, a farmer for Ferme Mont-Vulley Inc., allows wildlife to roam freely on his farm but worries this won’t be possible if a new high-speed rail line gets built. “There will probably be quite a few different animals that would be displaced because of that tree line being knocked down and turned into a corridor,” said Bower. The federal government announced in February 2025 that it would plan to develop a high-speed rail network, also known as Alto, connecting the Toronto-Quebec City corridor. The $60- to $90-billion project could increase Canada’s annual GDP by 1.1 per cent,…

Demi Lovato wrapped her Arizona show this week and didn’t hold back on how she felt about it. On Instagram, she called the crowd “hot and silly and fun” and said she loved “dancing and laughing together.” Then came the part that’s got everyone feeling a little bittersweet: only three shows remain on her current tour run. Texas is up next. Lovato made that clear with all the energy she had left in the tank. “TEXAS HERE WE COME,” she wrote in all caps. That’s not the energy of someone coasting to the finish line. The post also carried a…

So bad, it’s good? Google on Friday joined in the disco ball icon fun taking place on home screens everywhere. After Spotify’s temporary new disco ball app icon, released to celebrate the company’s 20th anniversary, drew extensive online backlash (and a bit of praise for those who like a little kitsch!), Google decided to get in on the joke and rolled out a custom set of Android app icons sporting a similar disco ball theme. On X, Android ecosystem head Sameer Samat posted, “Your wish is our command. Disco icons available on Pixel as of today…Are y’all sure you still…

The Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL) has opened disciplinary proceedings into pitch invasions by Celtic fans during their title-winning game against Hearts and their prior victory at Motherwell. Celtic fans poured onto the pitch at Celtic Park after Callum Osmand scored in the 97th minute to wrap up a 3-1 win over Hearts in the title decider, with the Bhoys denying their visitors a first league crown since 1960. Hearts shareholder Tony Bloom claimed that some of their players were assaulted by Celtic fans. Celtic boss Martin O’Neill said that claim “has not been proved”. The Hearts players and staff…

The Guardians had a very disappointing offseason. Despite winning the American League Central in two straight years and three of the past four, they did almost nothing to upgrade their roster for 2027. They made no trades of significance and spent less than $12MM in free agency. Even that very modest outlay was offset by savings elsewhere. Emmanuel Clase was supposed to make $6MM this year but he probably won’t see any of that due to his ongoing gambling investigation. José Ramírez signed an extension that technically increased his 2026 salary from $21MM to $26MM but the new deal defers…

NEW YORK (AP) — One day after the Democratic National Committee released its botched autopsy report on the 2024 election, party leaders continued limping toward the midterm elections — even as other prominent Democrats demanded major changes at the very top of the organization. Ken Martin, the committee’s chair, faced new calls to resign from elected officials and Democratic operatives, who say he mismanaged a report originally intended to be a comprehensive examination of the party’s failures and a potential road map for its future. Martin kept the document under wraps for months, stoking speculation about its contents, only to…
