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.

The Biden administration authorized federal law enforcement four years ago to target Americans engaged in "concerning non-criminal behavior" in the name of fighting domestic terrorism, with a specific eye on those serving in the military, owning firearms, or spreading what officials considered to be "xenophobic" disinformation, according to newly declassified documents. The stunning breadth of the mandate was disclosed when Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard recently released a fully unredacted version of the prior administration’s "Strategic Implementation Plan for Countering Domestic Terrorism."

President Donald Trump announced Sunday that he will impose a 100% tariff on all films produced outside the U.S., citing national security concerns and a desire to revive America’s “dying” film industry. Trump authorized the U.S. Trade Representative and the Department of Commerce to begin the process of levying the tariffs, declaring foreign film subsidies a “concerted effort” by other countries to undermine Hollywood’s global dominance.

The Biden administration inflated its number of reported deportations by conflating the number of illegal immigrants stopped by border agents before they could get inside the United States. Biden's figures may very well hide the success of Trump's immigration enforcement.  Trump started his second term notching some early wins on securing the southern border and stemming border crossings to record lows, but at first blush, the rate of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) removals appeared to lag behind the Biden administration’s capture rate in its final full year, according to data released by ICE under both administrations. 

President Donald Trump set a dizzying pace for his first 100 days in office, fulfilling many of his campaign promises and setting the stage for much more dramatic transformation over the next few months. “If [Trump’s tariffs] work out, he's going to look like a rock star,” conservative pollster Rich Baris told Just the News.. “Everyone's going to appreciate it quite a bit because it's going to be something that he had the nerve to do that others did not. And he’ll get credit for it.”

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.
