Aussie driver Oscar Piastri wins F1’s Saudi Arabian Grand Prix to take overall lead

Oscar Piastri went top of the Formula 1 standings with victory at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix on Monday. Piastri started second alongside Max Verstappen and took the lead after Verstappen had to serve a five-second penalty. Verstappen was penalised for driving off the track when battling for the lead with Piastri at the very first corner.

This Midwestern city has long been a federal hub. The pain from DOGE’s cuts is everywhere

In her 28 years working for the federal government, Shea Giagnorio provided daycare for the children of US soldiers, training for employees and oversight for safety net programs. Public service took her from Germany to Alaska to Kansas City, Missouri, where she moved last year for a long-sought promotion. But when she reported to a downtown federal building for work one day last month, her access card did not work. After a co-worker let her into the building, she checked her email: her entire office had been let go in the latest mass firing ordered by President Donald Trump’s administration.

Trump is undergoing his annual physical after years of reluctance to share medical information

Donald Trump is undergoing his annual physical on Friday, potentially giving the public its first details in years about the health of a man who in January became the oldest in US history to be sworn in as president. "I have never felt better, but nevertheless, these things must be done!" Trump, 78, posted on his social media site of the examination which was being conducted at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, in Bethesda, Maryland, outside Washington. Despite long questioning predecessor Joe Biden's physical and mental capacity, Trump has routinely kept basic facts about his own health shrouded in secrecy — shying away from traditional presidential transparency on medical issues.

Trump has 90 days to do 150 trade deals. Financial markets aren’t buying it

President Donald Trump and his advisers said this was the plan all along: Scare the bejesus out of the world by announcing astronomically high tariffs, get countries to come to the negotiating table, and — with the exception of China — back away from the most punishing trade barriers as America works out new trade agreements around the globe. But Trump's 90-day pause on his "reciprocal" tariffs that were never actually reciprocal gives his administration just three months to strike enormously complex trade deals with dozens of countries that it says are lining up to negotiate. Financial markets aren't buying it. Stocks have whipsawed as volatility has spiked. President Donald Trump and his advisers said this was the plan all along: Scare the bejesus out of the world by...
