Red Wings honor Patrick Kane for breaking Modano’s U.S. points record

Updated March 4, 2026, 8:25 p.m. ET Some of the biggest cheers was for his son, and the man he displaced. The Detroit Red Wings honored Patrick Kane on Wednesday, March 4, celebrating after he became the all-time U.S.-born points leader back on Jan. 29 with his 1,375th point.  The Wings only had one home game left before the Olympic break when Kane, 37, passed Modano, so they opted to push the celebration to the first home date out of the break. That also allowed Mike Modano, the Detroit area native who Kane displaced at the top, to attend the

Surgeon threatened ex, broke into house before she and her husband were killed, officials say

Newly obtained court documents accuse the Illinois surgeon charged with killing his ex-wife and her new husband of making chilling threats against Monique Tepe and entering the couple’s Ohio home weeks before they were found dead there. A person identified in a probable cause affidavit as a witness told Columbus police that Michael McKee, 39, told Tepe that he could “kill her at any time and would find her and buy the house right next to her,” the document says. Tepe told the witness about the alleged threat — along with another statement the affidavit attributes to McKee: “She will

Supreme Court rejects Trump’s bid to deploy National Guard in Illinois

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Tuesday rebuffed the Trump administration over its plan to deploy National Guard troops in Illinois over the strenuous objections of local officials. The court in an unsigned order turned away an emergency request made by the administration, which said the troops are needed to protect federal agents involved in immigration enforcement in the Chicago area. Although the decision is a preliminary one involving only Chicago, it will likely bolster similar challenges made to National Guard deployments in other cities, with the opinion setting significant new limits on the president’s ability to do so. “This

Florida International University (FIU) is investigating a series of racist and antisemitic messages allegedly sent in a group chat that included the president of the school’s Turning Point USA (TPUSA) chapter.

Trump salutes Team USA men’s hockey at State of the Union, says Connor Hellebuyck will get Presidential Medal of Freedom

President Donald Trump introduced the members of the Olympic champion U.S. men’s hockey team during his State of the Union address Tuesday as proof that the country under his leadership is “winning so much.” The team, which entered the chamber from the press gallery, got a standing ovation from both Republicans and Democrats. Trump joked that it was the “first time I’ve ever seen them [Democrats] get up.” “But they beat a fantastic Canadian team in overtime, as everybody saw,” Trump said of the men’s team. “As did the American women, who will soon be coming to the White House.”

Australia’s shameless support for the US attack on Iran makes us gullible, duplicitous, or both | Allan Behm

The ease and speed with which Australia, along with Britain and Canada, fell in behind Donald Trump’s attack on Iran was startling. For a country that is constantly trumpeting the essentiality of the international rules-based order in preserving global peace and stability, Australia is shameless in its ability to slide into the American slipstream. And to hide behind Iran’s alleged possession of nuclear weapons – or at least its ability to produce them – as justification for the attacks and the obliteration of Iran’s governing leadership, portrays us as gullible, duplicitous or both. Trump claimed that Iran’s ability to construct

How Trump’s DHS deploys ‘less lethal’ weapons on protesters

DHS has blamed local politicians and activists for inciting violence, saying attacks on officers have climbed sharply, leaving them no option other than to respond in kind. The agency points to the conduct of some protesters, who follow officers with their cars, block them in the street, curse at their faces, blow ear-piercing whistles and clamor outside their hotels at night. At times protests have turned violent, with demonstrators throwing bottles, rocks and fireworks, and officers have arrested many people for allegedly trying to assault them or hit them with cars. DHS said in a statement that its officers “are

Senate blocks measure to restrict Venezuela strikes after Trump flips two Republicans

WASHINGTON — The Senate voted 51-50 on Wednesday to effectively block a resolution that would have prevented President Donald Trump from using military force in Venezuela without congressional approval after Trump flipped two Republican votes in recent days. Sens. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., and Todd Young, R-Ind., voted last week to advance the resolution to require Trump to seek prior approval from Congress to strike Venezuela. But after Trump attacked and pressured them, they flipped their positions and voted with most Senate Republicans to remove “privilege” under the resolution, all but sinking it in the chamber. The vote broke 50-50, and
