Speaker Johnson: U.K. & U.S. Can Work Through Differences

U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson on Tuesday said he was confident that Britain and the United States maintain their so-called 'special relationship' and work through differences on Greenland that threaten to upend bilateral ties. Johnson's visit to mark the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence from rule by London comes at an awkward time for trans-Atlantic relations, days after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened Britain and other European countries with tariffs unless they let the United States buy Greenland. Trump has also sharply criticised Prime Minister Keir Starmer over a deal to cede sovereignty of the island of Diego Garcia in the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, in an apparent reversal of the administration's previous support of the deal. "We've always been able to work through our differences calmly as friends. We will continue to do that. I want to assure you this morning that that is still the case," Johnson said in an address to lawmakers in the British parliament. Johnson said he had met Starmer on Monday, and said the prime minister struck "exactly the right message and the right tone" in a statement that morning, where he urged calm discussion to resolve differences on Greenland to avert a trade war and hailed the partnership between the two countries. Starmer has previously lauded his close relationship with Trump and struck a deal to avert some sectoral tariffs last May, but recent events threaten to undermine his strategy towards Washington. Johnson added that he had spoken to Trump yesterday and told him that he aimed to use the trip to "encourage our friends to help calm the waters, so to speak." "Let us look to agreement, continue our dialogue and find a resolution, just as we always have in the past," Johnson said. "And in that process, I am confident that we can and will maintain and strengthen our special relationship between these two nations."

Mamdani & Sanders Rally With Nurses On Strike In NYC

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders rallied with nurses Tuesday in Manhattan during the ninth day of the largest strike of its kind that the city has seen in decades. The democratic socialists, speaking to a boisterous crowd of nurses in front of Mount Sinai West on the Upper West Side, called on hospital executives to return to the negotiating table to resolve the contract impasse that prompted some 15,000 nurses to walk off the job last week. “The people of this country are sick and tired of the greed in this health care industry," said Sanders, the long-serving Vermont senator and a native of Brooklyn, as he rattled off the multimillion-dollar salaries of the CEOs of the three hospital systems affected by the strike. “Now is your time of need, when we can assure that this is a city you don't just work in, but a city you can also live in," Mamdani added. The nurses union says it has held one bargaining session with each of the three hospital systems impacted — Mount Sinai, Montefiore and NewYork-Presbyterian — since the strike began on Jan. 12. But the sides say those hourslong meetings have ended with little progress, and there are no plans so far this week to resume talks. “They offered us nothing. It was all performative,” said Jonathan Hunter, a registered nurse at Mount Sinai and a member of the negotiating team. The New York State Nurses Association met Sunday evening with officials from Montefiore after holding negotiations Friday with Mount Sinai administrators and Thursday with NewYork-Presbyterian officials. Hospital administrators say they’ll follow the lead of contract mediators on when to meet again with their union counterparts. Each affected hospital is negotiating with the union independently. The hospitals say the union is proposing pay raises that amount to a 25% salary increase over three years. They maintain the request is unreasonable, as their nurses are already among the highest paid in the city. “NYSNA’s demands ignore the economic realities of healthcare in New York City and the country,” NewYork-Presbyterian said in a statement Tuesday, citing federal cuts to Medicaid, as well as rising overall costs. Outside Mount Sinai West on Tuesday morning, nurses and their supporters marched in the frigid cold, chanting “one day longer, one day stronger” as a caravan of New York City taxi drivers honked their horns in support. Nicole Rodriguez, a nurse at Mount Sinai West, said her biggest concern in the contract dispute is preserving her health care benefits. She said she has an autoimmune disease that causes her to get sick often and pass along illnesses to her child. “If my son is not well, I’m not well, and I can’t be at the bedside and be the nurse I want to be,” she said. “I hope management opens their eyes to how much support we have out here, and they see that they need to reach into their pockets and give the nurses their health care.” The union says the hospitals are seeking to reduce nurses benefits but the hospitals say they’ve proposed maintaining their current employer-funded benefits, which they say exceed what most private employees receive. The hospitals, meanwhile, say their medical operations are running normally despite the walkout. They have brought on thousands of temporary nurses to fill shifts and say they’ve made financial commitments to extend their employment. “Everyone who has come to work — including many who have gone above and beyond to support the operational response — is helping to save lives," Brendan Carr, CEO of Mount Sinai, said in a statement to staff Monday.

Netflix Switches To All-Cash $82.7B Bid For Warner Bros To Block Paramount

Netflix has shifted to an all-cash offer for Warner Bros Discovery, keeping the $82.7 billion price unchanged, in a move aimed at blocking rival Paramount Skydance from acquiring the Hollywood powerhouse. The deal, valued at $27.75 per share, has unanimous support from Warner Bros’ board. Netflix says the all-cash approach provides shareholders with financial certainty and allows for a faster vote, while Paramount’s competing bid has been rejected due to lower credit ratings and other risks. Warner Bros owns major film and television franchises including Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, and DC Comics properties like Batman and Superman. Paramount Skydance has been actively campaigning to sway shareholders, arguing its $30-per-share cash offer is superior, but Warner Bros executives maintain Netflix’s bid is the safer, more reliable path. A shareholder vote is expected later this year, setting the stage for a high-stakes showdown in Hollywood’s streaming and studio wars.

Zelenskiy urges US to step up pressure on Russia after air strikes

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is calling on the United States to intensify pressure on Russia following a massive air attack that left half of Kyiv without heating and damaged power lines critical to nuclear safety. Russia launched hundreds of drones and missiles overnight targeting Ukraine’s energy and military infrastructure, compounding winter hardships for residents as temperatures plunged. The strikes affected substations vital for nuclear plants, including lines supplying the Chornobyl site, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency. Zelenskiy urged tougher sanctions on Moscow and additional air defense support from Kyiv’s partners. He also said he is prepared to travel to Switzerland, where the World Economic Forum is underway, if the U.S. guarantees security measures for Ukraine and commits to a post-war reconstruction plan. Kyiv officials reported that more than 5,600 apartment buildings lost heating in the capital, and hundreds of thousands of residents faced power outages. Repair crews have been working around the clock to restore electricity and heating amid freezing temperatures. The Ukrainian leader emphasized that the cost of repelling Tuesday’s attacks was around $94 million and reiterated that the international community must act decisively to curb Russia’s military campaign.

Elon Musk Billions From OpenAI And Microsoft Over Early Contributions

Elon Musk is asking a federal court to award him up to $134 billion from OpenAI and Microsoft, claiming the companies earned “wrongful gains” from his early support of the AI startup. In a filing ahead of a trial set to begin in April, Musk said he provided most of OpenAI’s seed funding, helped recruit key staff, and lent his reputation to the project. His lawyers argue that without Musk’s contributions, OpenAI might never have succeeded. OpenAI has called the demand “unserious” and part of a harassment campaign, while Microsoft denied aiding OpenAI in any wrongdoing. Both companies filed motions challenging Musk’s damages calculations as unreliable and misleading. Musk, who left OpenAI in 2018 and now runs xAI, may also seek punitive damages or other penalties, including possible injunctions, depending on the jury’s findings.

DOJ pushes back against lawmakers over Epstein File oversight

The U.S. Justice Department is opposing a request from Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie to appoint a special master to monitor the release of documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein. Khanna, a California Democrat, and Massie, a Kentucky Republican, have criticized the DOJ for the slow pace of making the records public. They asked a New York federal judge to allow them to file a brief arguing for independent oversight. In a letter filed Friday, Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche argued that the lawmakers do not have standing in the case and should not be allowed to intervene. The DOJ noted that it has 5.2 million pages of documents left to review, requiring the efforts of hundreds of lawyers across multiple department offices through late January. The documents are part of ongoing investigations connected to Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for helping Epstein sexually abuse underage girls.

U.S. Citizen Says ICE Detained Him, Forced Him Outside in Underwear

A U.S. citizen in St. Paul, Minnesota, says federal immigration agents forcibly entered his home without a warrant, detained him at gunpoint and led him outside in his underwear in freezing temperatures. The incident, captured on video and reviewed by The Associated Press, has drawn significant local attention and criticism. ChongLy “Scott” Thao told reporters that ICE agents broke down his door Sunday afternoon, pointed guns at him and his family, and handcuffed him while his young grandson watched and cried. Thao said he was wearing only sandals and underwear with a blanket wrapped around his shoulders when agents escorted him outdoors. According to his account, agents then drove him to a remote area in the cold, made him step out of the vehicle for photographs and initially refused to let him retrieve his identification. He told authorities he feared he would be beaten. Videos show neighbors blowing whistles and shouting at the agents to leave the family alone. Thao said authorities later realized he was a U.S. citizen with no criminal record and returned him to his home without explanation or apology

Judge Allows DHS Limits On Congressional ICE Visits

A federal judge has cleared the way for the Trump administration to enforce a new Department of Homeland Security policy that limits congressional access to immigration detention facilities. The policy requires members of Congress to provide at least seven days’ notice before visiting Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities for oversight purposes. U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb declined to temporarily block the rule, finding that DHS did not violate an earlier court order when it reinstated the notice requirement. In her ruling, Cobb emphasized that she was not deciding whether the policy is ultimately lawful. Instead, she said the Democratic lawmakers challenging the rule used an improper procedural method to bring their case. The decision allows DHS to continue enforcing the notice requirement for now, even as broader legal questions about congressional oversight and executive authority remain unresolved.

Trump Set to Take Center Stage at Davos Economic Forum

The World Economic Forum opened Monday in the Swiss resort town of Davos, drawing a steady flow of global leaders, executives and policymakers as attention quickly turned to U.S. President Donald Trump’s expected arrival later this week. Sources familiar with the plans say Trump is scheduled to travel to Davos on Wednesday, where he will deliver a special address to attendees. Following the speech, the White House has invited global business leaders to a reception, according to people briefed on the matter. One chief executive said the invitation list includes CEOs from around the world, not only those based in the United States. Several senior U.S. officials are expected to accompany the president, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Business leaders from financial services, cryptocurrency and consulting firms are among those invited to attend events surrounding Trump’s appearance. Trump’s presence has already loomed large over the conference agenda, which has been shaped in part by his recent policy moves. In recent days, the president has renewed calls for the United States to take control of Greenland, an issue that has drawn international attention ahead of the forum. Organizers say more than 3,000 delegates from over 130 countries are attending this year’s gathering, including multiple heads of government from G7 nations.
