President Trump said Sunday he is "in the process of negotiating Peace in the war between Russia and Ukraine," and accused Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy of not wanting to end the war.

In a Truth Social post on Sunday, Mr. Trump criticized Zelensky for "using Diesel Refineries in Russia as a target" and alleged "he doesn't want to end this war, and probably never did."

"He could have made a better deal two years ago than he can now. His country is in shambles, a large portion of his land is lost, his oceans and seas are gone, and his male population is low, wounded, and/or dead," Mr. Trump wrote.

The comments come amid a deepening rift between the Mr....More

When California voters head to the polls next month, they'll be asked whether to adopt a new proposal that calls for billionaires to be taxed like never before. Jo Ling Kent shares what Proposition 40 is all about:

"There's never been a proposal like this anywhere in the world, so it's a novel idea," said healthcare workers union leader Dave Regan. "We are facing an emergency."

An emergency that began, according to Regan, with President Trump's so-called "One Big Beautiful Bill," which includes cuts targeting federal funds to Medicaid over the next few years.

"What we're trying to do is restore $100 billion worth of health care cuts," Regan said. "Three-and-a-half million people lose health insurance. Hospitals, clinics, and emergency rooms will close." They could also cost jobs in Regan's own union, SEIU United Healthcare Workers West.

Seven weeks into the Premier League season, teams are starting to sort themselves into groups and one thing is starting to become very clear – there are more average-to-poor teams than usual, the collection of them continuing to bounce around the table even as preseason rust becomes a thing of the past.

Manchester City, who are in first place despite the cloud of their financial breaches, and Arsenal remain the cream of the crop while Brighton and Hove Albion are the unexpectedly exciting side of the season thus far. Liverpool and Chelsea feel a step behind but still feel on course for strong campaigns. Every other team feels somewhat flawed, in some ways notably unspectacular but the places on the table need to be filled by someone and so...More

Character actors like John Turturro never fail to leave their mark on screen. He's been commanding our attention in movies and on television for 46 years, always digging deep to deliver something memorable. Called one of the great character actors in the history of movies, Turturro responded with modesty: "Oh wow, I'll take that compliment. I'm not sure of it!"

Now 69, Turturro is doing some of his best work in Apple TV's "Severance," and on the big screen in a rare leading-man part, as a thief clinging to a world passing him by, in a charming and moving crime thriller, "The Only Living Pickpocket in New York."

"Within this tense sort of crime thriller, there's all this humanity and, like, tenderness," he said. "There's like this love story, and there's this guy who basically the world has changed around him. He's obsolete in some ways. So, how does someone like that survive in such...More
