Reading Time: 3 minutes Prince Harry took a subtle shot at Donald Trump over the weekend. While making a speech to open the Invictus Games in Canada, the handsome Royal didn’t mention America’s 47th President of the United States by name. However, Harry did cite the events competitors and said their “courage, values and humanity” deserved special respect at a time “when there is no shortage of crises, no absence of uncertainty, no lack of weak moral character in the world.” Prince Harry delivers remarks at the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025 Nation Home Welcome Reception on February 7, 2025…

In an industry that relies heavily on the labor of immigrants, restaurant workers like Malena, their advocates and employers have spent the last few weeks educating themselves and each other on their immigration rights and…

Tens of thousands of Iranians marked the anniversary of the country’s 1979 Islamic Revolution, the first such rally since President Donald Trump returned to the White House and restarted his “maximum pressure” campaign targeting Tehran. The annual commemoration of the end of the rule of the American-backed Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and the creation of Iran’s Shiite theocracy comes this year as deep uncertainty lingers across the country. Iran faces crushing sanctions wrecking its economy and the threat of more coming from Trump, even as the American president suggests he wants to reach a deal with Tehran over its rapidly…

Partway through the Chicago Jazz Philharmonic’s midday Saturday set, artistic director Orbert Davis made a sheepish admission. The band had just gotten back from the Havana International Jazz Festival in Cuba, and they’d meant to practice for this program abroad, he swears. Instead, they were too busy having fun. Sure enough, some slapdash elements came through in “Ellingtonia,” the Philharmonic’s two-hour-long Duke tribute. (Davis and the Philharmonic have made portrait concerts like these a signature staple over the years.) Some Ellington originals ran raggeder than others, while several others had to be cut for time. But having fun is something…

China’s tit-for-tat duties on U.S. imports took effect Monday, just hours after U.S. President Donald Trump announced that he wants to slap new duties on all steel and aluminum imports to the U.S. The rapid-fire shots of tariffs and import curbs hearken back to Trump’s first term in office, when the U.S. and China engaged in a trade war that spanned most of Trump’s first four years in office and was continued to a certain extent under his successor, Joe Biden. Less than a month after returning to the White House on Jan. 20, Trump slapped 10% duties on all…

The Super Bowl, America’s debutante ball of capitalism, is the only time of the year we willingly pay attention to ads anymore. The irony is rich: Just as sci-fi once promised, advertising jockeys for your eyeballs from every nook and cranny of daily life in 2025, yet the distraction economy also means that you turn away faster than ever to something else. But not during a Super Bowl. For three hours or so, Totino’s Pizza Rolls could potentially stop you in your tracks. Nestle Coffee might even possibly have you humming jingles again. Think of it that way, and the…

The Vatican’s charity voiced outrage Monday at what it called the “reckless” and “unhuman” U.S. plans to gut USAID, with Pope Francis’ point-man on development aid insisting that the Trump administration remember Christian principles about caring for others as it begins governing. Cardinal Michael Czerny, a Czech-born Canadian Jesuit, is one of the cardinals most closely associated with Francis’ pontificate and heads the Vatican office responsible for migrants, the environment, the church’s Caritas Internationalis charity and development. Caritas on Monday warned that millions of people will die as a result of the “ruthless” U.S. decision to “recklessly” stop USAID funding,…

Ed Frazier Davis realized he wasn’t like other kids pretty early on. How many kids lived in a high-rise on the Mag Mile? Had the Lyric Opera House as their personal playground? Performed onstage for thousands of people by the time they were in middle school? For Davis, all that and more was possible because his father was the smiling, bright-eyed man on the Lyric Opera podium: Sir Andrew Davis, the house’s music director from 2000 to 2021. His mother, Gianna Rolandi, was an operatic soprano and director of Lyric’s Ryan Opera Center for early-career singers. It wasn’t long before…

President Donald Trump has repeatedly challenged Senate Republicans with his Cabinet picks. But his nomination of Lori Chavez-DeRemer for labor secretary may be proving the hardest for many to accept. Chavez-DeRemer, a former congresswoman from Oregon, hardly cuts the profile of a traditional Republican nominee. She is the daughter of a lifelong Teamsters member. She’s a small business owner who served as the mayor of a fast-growing suburb in liberal Portland, Oregon. And in the House, she co-sponsored legislation championed by America’s labor unions. That background is why Trump, encouraged by some allies, nominated Chavez-DeRemer to lead the Labor Department.…
