Shortly after former House Speaker Michael Madigan’s conviction on federal corruption charges, the leaders of Chicago’s top federal investigative agencies appeared in the lobby of the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse to do their usual spike of the football. “This was a historic conviction, one that ranks high in the annals of criminal cases tried in this court,” Acting U.S. Attorney Morris Pasqual, flanked by his counterparts at the FBI and IRS and more than a half-dozen prosecutors and agents, told the assembled throng of reporters. The declaration came as no surprise — and it was hardly bragging. After all, Madigan, one…

At a rural village in South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal province, unemployed 19-year-old Nozuko Majola is trying to figure out if she has enough money for the one-hour ride to collect her much-needed HIV medication, usually delivered to her home that can’t be easily reached due to rough, untarred roads. Majola is one of millions of patients in South Africa affected by U.S. President Donald Trump’s global foreign aid freeze, raising worries about HIV patients defaulting on treatment, infection rates going up and eventually a rise in deaths. In 2024, think tank Human Sciences Research Council released figures showing that Majola’s province…

In that way, it was exactly like every other All-Star weekend. In many other ways, however, this was completely different. The league adopted a mini-tournament format for the All-Star Game, which broke up the 24 All-Stars…

The New York Giants made precious few coaching staff changes this offseason despite finishing with a 3-14 record in 2024. But among them was a surprise: The termination of defensive backs coach Jerome Henderson. A long-time assistant and former player, Henderson is respected around the league and appeared to have a strong working relationship with head coach Brian Daboll. That alone is noteworthy given Daboll’s relationship history with members of his staff but in the end, it wasn’t enough to save Henderson’s job. Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reports that, like offensive line coach Bobby Johnson last year,…

Presidential adviser Elon Musk conceded during an Oval Office news conference last week that an unsubstantiated claim made to justify the Trump administration’s freeze on federal foreign aid might not have been true. Amplified by Musk and President Donald Trump, the story of the U.S. government planning to send $50 million worth of condoms to Gaza appears to be false, but the president’s January order stopping aid and development programs has had a real and possibly lasting effect, both across the globe and in Illinois. A federal judge ordered the administration late Thursday to temporarily lift its freeze and allow…

When Hamas threatened to call off the planned release of three Israeli hostages last week, U.S. President Donald Trump stepped into the picture with an unexpected ultimatum.

Otherwise, he warned, “all hell is going to break loose.” “They’ll find out what I mean. Saturday at 12,” Trump declared. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in lockstep with the president, hinted the entire deal could collapse. Hamas ended up releasing the three hostages as originally planned. Netanyahu…
