Why is Trump trying to deploy the National Guard to US cities?

Getty Images National Guard troops deployed in Washington, DC in September stand guard outside Union Station. President Donald Trump's deployment of the National Guard into several US cities has drawn a round of legal challenges by state and local officials. Trump argues the use of federal troops is necessary to quell violence in Democratic-controlled cities, crack down on crime and support his deportation initiatives. But several Democratic governors have pushed back, saying the deployments are unnecessary and risk escalating tensions. Illinois filed a lawsuit on Monday asking a judge to block the deployment of troops to Chicago, while a federal judge on Sunday temporarily blocked the deployment of National Guard members from Texas and California to Portland, Oregon. ...

Beyoncé wins elusive album of the year Grammy as Kendrick Lamar cleans up with diss track

Beyoncé has won album of the year for Cowboy Carter at the 2025 Grammys, delivering her — at last — the show's elusive top award. The superstar, who is both the most awarded and nominated artist in Grammys history, has been nominated in the category four times before and many feel she has been snubbed by its top honors. Members of the Los Angeles Fire Department presented Beyoncé with the trophy. "It's been many, many years," Beyoncé said in her speech. "I want to dedicate this to Ms Martell," she said, referencing Linda Martell, the performer who became the first Black woman to play the Grand Ole Opry. "We finally saw it happen, everyone," host Trevor Noah said, nodding to the long overdue achievement for one of music's transcendent artists. Beyoncé acc...

Trump proposes ‘getting rid’ of emergency agency while touring disaster areas

President Donald Trump surveyed disaster zones in California and North Carolina on Friday and said he was considering "getting rid of" the Federal Emergency Management Agency, offering the latest sign of how he is weighing sweeping changes to the nation's central organisation for responding to disasters. In fire-ravaged California, the state's Democratic leaders pressed Trump for federal assistance that he's threatened to hold up, some setting aside their past differences to shower him with praise. Trump, in turn, pressured local officials to waive permitting requirements so people can immediately rebuild, pledging that federal permits would be granted promptly. President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump walk with Jason Hing, chief deputy of emergency services...

Firefighters hope for a break from fierce winds fuelling devastating blazes in Los Angeles area

Firefighters hoped for a break on Friday from fierce winds fuelling massive blazes in the Los Angeles area that have killed 10 people, obliterated whole neighbourhoods and set the nation's second-largest city on edge. The fires have burned more than 10,000 homes and other structures since Tuesday, when they first began popping up around a densely populated, 40-kilometre expanse north of downtown Los Angeles. No cause has been identified for the largest fires. The level of devastation is jarring even in a state that has grown used to massive wildfires. The devastation from the Palisades Fire is seen from the air in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles, Thursday, Jan. 9, 2025 (AP Photo/Mark J.

Biden and Trump barrel into Super Tuesday, toward a likely November rematch despite voter concerns

United States President Joe Biden and former president Donald Trump are poised to move much closer to winning their parties' nominations on Tuesday during the biggest day of the primary campaign, despite many voters preferring something other than a November rematch from four years ago. Super Tuesday elections are being held in 16 states and one territory — from Alaska and California to Vermont and Virginia. Hundreds of delegates are at stake, the biggest haul for either party on any single day. While much of the focus is on the presidential race, there are also important down-ballot contests. California voters will choose candidates who will compete to fill the Senate seat long held by Dianne Feinstein. The governor's race will take shape in North Carolina, a state ...
