The United States has introduced a temporary 10 percent global import tariff following a Supreme Court ruling that invalidated many of last year's duties imposed under emergency powers. President Donald Trump announced the measure on his social platform Truth Social, where he also said he intends to raise the rate to 15 percent, although that increase has not yet been formally implemented. In response, the administration invoked Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, a separate statutory authority that allows the president to impose temporary tariffs to address balance-of-payments concerns. Measures under this provision may remain in effect for up to 150 days unless extended or replaced through additional action. The temporary tariff preserves pressure on trading partners while complying with the Court's ruling, but its limited duration introduces uncertainty for importers and businesses.

This Sunday night, February 22, CNN is airing reporter Pamela Brown's documentary on Christian nationalism, a far-right form of evangelical fundamentalism closely tied to the MAGA movement. Brown, in the documentary, notes that Christian nationalists are hailing the late Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk — who was fatally shot during an event in Utah last year — as a martyr for their cause. And she interviews Matthew Taylor, a religious scholar at Georgetown University; Taylor makes a clear distinction between "radicalized" Christian nationalists and the many Christians who reject their belief system. It is an examination of the political alignment between a self-described Christian nationalist movement and executive power. By trimming Brown's contextual line and McIlwain's own articulation of a faith-centered political vision, Fox transformed a documentary about political theology into an imagined attack on believers."

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani banned most travel across the nation’s largest city from 9 p.m. Sunday through noon Monday, an extraordinary measure reflecting the test a historic blizzard hitting the region poses. The incoming weather is Mamdani’s second major snowstorm since becoming mayor on New Year’s Day.

Riles has been terribly, terribly missed. The Showtime era seems terribly, terribly distant. It was a Showtime magic born of a commitment found in one of the two inscriptions on the statue. The group was interestingly joined by actor Michael Douglas, who spoke as Riley's friend, while several Lakers Showtime greats watched from the audience. The Showtime Lakers faced those fears and overcame them.
