Barbara Walters, the trailblazing television news broadcaster and longtime ABC News anchor and correspondent who shattered the glass ceiling and became a dominant force in an industry once dominated by men, has died. She was 93.

The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office announced on Thursday that its agency will, once again, be featured on the hit-series COPS television show.

While they may not agree on nearly anything else, one issue manages to unite Fox News Channel, MSNBC and CNN: an archaic television ratings system that is known to wildly misrepresent viewership. At a time when cord-cutting has brought about many new ways to consume television news and entertainment, the industry’s primary measurement tool, Nielsen Ratings, seems stuck in another era. Those chosen as “Nielsen families” have complained for years about the cumbersome, almost primitive methods used to track their viewership.

How have cryptocurrencies been covered on television news? The timeline below shows total mentions of "cryptocurrency" and Bitcoin, Ethereum and Dogecoin over the past decade, showing an initial glimmer of mentions from 2013-2015, but that coverage of cryptocurrencies did not really take off until December 2017 when Bitcoin reached a valuation of $20,000 per coin. Mentions again took off in January of this year and have increased steadily month over month as it has attracted ever greater prominence.

Tren de Aragua’s alleged assassination of Venezuelan dissident Ronald Ojeda in Chile in 2024, using tactics linked to Venezuela’s military counterintelligence, underscores the gang’s growing transnational threat and highlights its ties to Nicolas Maduro’s regime and U.S. intelligence disputes.

President Donald Trump has ordered air strikes and other operations during his first three months back in office that have killed 74 leaders of terrorist groups plotting to strike Western assets and the U.S. homeland, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz revealed Tuesday to Just the News. Waltz provided the counter-terrorism casualty statistics during a wide-ranging television interview where he also addressed the outlines of an emerging peace deal between Russia and Ukraine, predicted the president’s upcoming visit to the Middle East would set the stage for the Abraham Accords 2.0 and insisted that China has blinked behind the scenes in its standoff with Trump over tariffs.

Within the first months of his second administration, President Donald Trump has prioritized “unleashing” American energy and has already axed several of what he considers to be burdensome regulations on the coal industry, promising it’s “reinvigoration.” Trump signed an executive order on April 8 to revive the coal industry, and shortly after moved to exempt several coal plants from Biden-era regulations. Though it has become a primary target of many climate activists, coal has been historically regarded as readily available and affordable, and several energy policy experts who spoke with Daily Caller News Foundation believe Trump has the cards necessary to strengthen the industry.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) announced the launch of a new "war room" operation on Monday, aiming to strengthen its messaging and rapid-response efforts against President Donald Trump’s administration. Veteran strategist Tim Hogan was tapped to lead a unified push into "new information spaces" across the Party’s communications, research, and mobilization teams, as Democrats seek to regain traction following their widespread 2024 election losses.

Many politicians and policymakers predicted that Monday would be a “Black Monday.” While the equities market closed lower, the drops were at a lower pace than last week. In connecting the tariffs to the market's volatility, part of the evenness of Monday's trading came on the heels of news that numerous American trading partners agreed to negotiate with President Donald Trump and offered free trade deals to ratchet down his “reciprocal tariffs.” Last Wednesday, which Trump dubbed “Liberation Day,” the president announced large-scale tariffs on nearly every country, declaring that the measures would help to end American trade deficits with foreign powers and bolster domestic production of goods. Thursday and Friday witnessed precipitous declines in the stock market, though the administration made clear it would hold the course.

What happened in the White House Rose Garden on Wednesday afternoon can’t be underestimated, an undeniable shot heard throughout the world of global trade. President Donald Trump imposed a nearly universal 10% tax on most foreign products entering the United States, and in so doing ended the era of free trade.
