Russian President Vladimir Putin shows no desire to end Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, according to a senior European intelligence officialRussia thinks it can outsmart the US during Ukraine talks, intelligence chief saysLONDON -- Russian President Vladimir Putin has no desire to halt Russia’s almost 4-year-old invasion of neighboring Ukraine and thinks he can “outsmart” the United States during talks with Washington about how to end the war, a senior European intelligence official told The Associated Press. Russian officials have publicly insisted they want a negotiated deal, but they show little willingness to compromise and remain adamant their demands must be met. Russian President Vladimir Putin, “in his head, still thinks that he can actually militarily win (in Ukraine) at some point,” Rosin said. One reason Putin thinks he can win militarily in Ukraine is because he is “definitely” getting some incorrect information from his officials, the Estonian intelligence chief said. Not all Russian officials, however, believe they are winning the war in Ukraine, Rosin said.

Will Lewis, the stubbled bumbler brought in by Jeff Bezos to lay waste to the Washington Post, is gone. He was, however, spotted far from the crime scene just one day after the worst single day in his newspaper’s century-and-a-half history, partying out west during Super Bowl week. Nicki Jhabvala, a sportswriter who left the Washington Post for The Athletic this past summer, caught the absentee boss looking ruddy and rotten while walking a red carpet at an NFL shindig. But the Financial Times reported that Bezos found Lewis’s post-firings socializing at the Super Bowl “callous.” And now he’s gone. According to the Washington Post's AI-powered search engine, the paper has yet to report on Lewis’s resignation.

Also, in the fourth quarter, Americans’ wages grew at the weakest pace in more than four years and a greater share of households fell further behind on their debt, according to separate reports out Tuesday. Still, economists widely expect bigger tax returns and the Federal Reserve’s string of interest-rate cuts last year to drive growth. “There has been a lot of damage done the last few years to household finances – with rising inflation, rising cost of living pressures, rising interest rates,” Ted Rossman, principal analyst at Bankrate, told CNN in an interview. Meanwhile, retail spending edged higher in a handful of categories, rising the most at home improvement stores (1.2%.) Well-to-do households are seeing their wealth increase and are powering spending, while lower- and middle-income households are experiencing increased strain.

The shuttering of The Washington Post’s Mideast bureau marks a sad moment for journalism, legacy media, & the individuals who have lost their jobs. Hind Khoudary was by far not the only anti-Israel source treated credibly by The Washington Post throughout the post-October 7 war. https://t.co/cR7GTqOWJA pic.twitter.com/0ji0VVKMu3 — HonestReporting (@HonestReporting) September 17, 2025From Top To Bottom: The Anti-Israel Bias of The Washington Post’s EmployeesThe steady stream of anti-Israel narratives in The Washington Post’s reporting was clearly impacted by the strongly-held views of several editors, journalists, and opinion writers at the newspaper. pic.twitter.com/VHa6WpPjd2 — HonestReporting (@HonestReporting) July 5, 2024Another long-standing member of The Washington Post staff whose anti-Israel invective bled into her work for the prestigious newspaper was columnist Karen Attiah. pic.twitter.com/oSQ45t2qUj — HonestReporting (@HonestReporting) April 6, 2025It should be noted that not every Israel-related article in The Washington Post was infused with anti-Israel bias, and not every journalist who wrote about Israel for The Post held deeply anti-Israel views.

The Washington Post’s evisceration at the hands of its billionaire owner, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, didn’t have to happen. The Boston Globe and The Minnesota Star Tribune, both for-profits, were bought in recent years by the billionaire owners of sports teams. The Boston Globe and The Minnesota Star Tribune, for instance, have both expanded into other geographic areas. Similarly, the Strib, as The Minnesota Star Tribune is known, now covers news across Minnesota, well beyond its base in the Twin Cities. The Star Tribune, owned by sports mogul Glen Taylor, unveiled a new, paywall-free breaking-news blog in the midst of the sometimes deadly immigration enforcement actions in Minneapolis and St. Paul.

Still, I loved Mary Therese, and the thought of her working alongside me was exciting. When her mom left, Regina sat across from me, face ashen. Mary Therese also tackled forms, answered phone calls, learned state mandates, and comforted worried parents. A couple of years later, Mary Therese and I both left school administration.

The layoffs announced last week at the Washington Post were disfiguring to the esteemed news organization, with whole sections and departments—sports, books, staff photography—wiped away, and devastating cuts inflicted on its Metro section and foreign bureaus. However, an accounting by the Washington-Baltimore Newspaper Guild, the union that represents Post journalists, finds that the paper’s management eliminated closer to half of the journalists it used to employ. According to guild steward Sarah Kaplan, a Post climate reporter, the paper is dropping between 350 and 375 journalists. That figure did not account for dozens more layoffs among Post journalists who aren’t covered by the Guild’s contract, including staffers in its foreign bureaus and editors and managers in Washington. Correction: an earlier version of this article mistakenly referred to Sarah Kaplan as a Metro reporter.

Trump said he would “not allow” the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge, a 1.5-mile bridge connecting Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, in a post on Truth Social. It is not clear how Trump would block the opening of the bridge. CNN has reached out to the White House, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority, which runs the bridge, for comment. Ontario Premier Doug Ford echoed LaRouche’s comments Tuesday, telling reporters that he’s “confident” the bridge will open. But there’s one thing President Trump can do, get rid of Canadian tariffs.
