US military action in Venezuela is seen as both a blessing and a curse for Russia's Putin

AP News The lightning U.S. operation to capture Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro can be seen as both a benefit and a burden for Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose forces botched an attempt to capture Ukraine’s capital and topple its leader at the start of Moscow's invasion nearly four years ago.

The ouster of Maduro highlights another Kremlin failure to support an ally, following the downfall of Syria’s former President Bashar Assad in 2024 and last year’s U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran. With the U.S. determined to establish control over Venezuela, Russia stands to lose a...

The report suggests that the “low-hire, low-fire” job market remains in effect, with workers enjoying some job...

‘The Pitt’ is back for another harrowing 15-hour shift. Is it even possible to up the ante?

AP News When we first glimpse Noah Wyle’s Michael Robinavitch — aka Dr. Robby, of course — in Season 2 of “The Pitt,” he’s looking darned good, truth be told. The beloved ER doc is riding his motorcycle to work, wearing nice shades, hair rustling in the early-morning Pittsburgh breeze.

Wait — hair rustling? It’s only then we notice what’s missing. Can it be that Robby — dedicated, wise, overworked, charming and brilliant — isn’t wearing a helmet?

It’s such a jarring sight that, launching a Zoom interview with Wyle, it’s one of the first things we Did...

Denmark and Greenland seek talks with Rubio over US interest in taking the island

AP News Denmark and Greenland are seeking a meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio after the Trump administration doubled down on its intention to take over the strategic Arctic island, a Danish territory.

Tensions escalated after the White House said Tuesday that the “U.S. military is always an option." President Donald Trump has argued that the U.S. needs to control the world’s largest island to ensure its own security in the face of rising threats from China and Russia in the Arctic.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen warned earlier this week that a U.S...
