Television shows anchored by odd-couple sleuths usually pair a man and a woman whose light bickering is a mask for the sexual tension between them. So what happens when the duo are siblings instead, as they are on the CW’s “Good Cop/Bad Cop”? Absent the flirtating and sublimated urges: No spark, no fire. The latest addition to the network’s bouncy case-of-the-week output (which also includes Canadian import “Wild Cards”), “Good Cop/Bad Cop” takes place in the Pacific Northwest where a detective named Lou (Leighton Meester) is surrounded by barely competent co-workers. Everyone knows everyone in their small town, which comes…

Since his election, President Donald Trump has repeatedly expressed support for a major natural gas pipeline in Alaska — comments that have drawn fresh attention to a project that’s floundered for years despite support from state leaders. Trump mentioned the pipeline at a news conference with Japan’s prime minister earlier this month, drawing praise from Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy and U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan, both Republicans. As proposed, the nearly 810-mile (1,300-kilometer) pipeline would funnel gas from Alaska’s vast North Slope to port, with an eye largely on exports to Asian countries. Critics, however, see this as a repackaged version…

Months into his first term as president, Donald Trump was furious with the snowballing Russia investigation and ordered White House counsel Don McGahn to make sure that special counsel Robert Mueller got fired. “Mueller has to go,” McGahn recalled Trump saying. “Call me back when you do it.” But McGahn didn’t do it, and Trump didn’t even bring it up the next time they saw each other. Such incidents were common during Trump’s initial experience in the White House, where officials would soften or ignore his most outrageous decisions and the president seemed unwilling to enforce his will. It’s hard…
An Israeli official said that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has appointed a close confidant to lead negotiations for the second stage of the ceasefire with Hamas. The U.S.-born Ron Dermer is a Cabinet minister who’s widely seen as Netanyahu’s closest adviser. He previously served as Israel’s ambassador to the U.S. and is a former Republican activist with strong ties to the Trump White House. Israel and Hamas have yet to negotiate a second and more difficult phase of the ceasefire, and the first ends in early March. Palestinians and Arab countries have universally rejected U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal to…

Pope Francis slept well, got out of bed and ate breakfast Wednesday, the Vatican said, after tests confirmed the 88-year-old pontiff had developed pneumonia in both lungs in a further complication that raised concerns about his ability to fight off the infection. In an early update Wednesday, the Vatican said Francis spent his fifth night in Rome’s Gemelli hospital peacefully. “He had a tranquil night, woke up and had breakfast,” spokesman Matteo Bruni said. The pope, who had the upper lobe of his right lung removed as a young man, was in good spirits and grateful for the prayers for…

In 2018, Trupa Trupa was 15 minutes from taking the stage at the venerable South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas, when singer and guitarist Grzegorz Kwiatkowski’s amp burned out. His frantic search for a replacement ate up 10 minutes of the psychedelic post-punk band’s 30-minute slot. Most bands would have sighed and shaved a few numbers off their setlist. Trupa Trupa? They blasted through the entire set as originally planned at double speed. “Hello we are Trupa Trupa we are from the city of Gdańsk, Poland, where the Second World War started so … come on!” Kwiatkowski remembers yelling…
