Today is Wednesday, Feb. 5, the 36th day of 2025. There are 329 days left in the year. Today in history: On Feb. 5, 2020, the Senate voted to acquit President Donald Trump, bringing to a close the third presidential trial in American history. Though a majority of senators expressed unease with Trump’s pressure campaign on Ukraine that resulted in the two articles of impeachment, just one Republican, Mitt Romney of Utah, broke with the GOP and voted to convict. Also on this date: In 1917, the U.S. Congress passed the Immigration Act of 1917 over President Woodrow Wilson’s veto,…

Apple has chided a newly introduced pornography app available in the European Union, warning that the bloc’s digital rules opening the way for third-party app store downloads undermines consumer confidence in the tech giant. AltStore PAL, an alternative app marketplace made possible under Europe’s Digital Markets Act or DMA, this week unveiled the Hot Tub iPhone app, described as an adult content browser. The digital rulebook forces Big Tech companies to open their services up to more competition, including allowing phone users to download from alternative app stores instead of being limited to the official app stores from Apple and…
It usually takes author and attorney Scott Turow many years to rekindle the complicated relationship he has with his fictional creation, lawyer Rusty Sabich. We first encountered him in 1987 in Turow’s first novel, “Presumed Innocent,” which has the young attorney investigating and later being accused of and put on trial for the murder of his mistress. Sabich was portrayed by Harrison Ford in the 1990 film version of the same name. Then came 2010’s “Innocent,” with Sabich, by then a chief appellate judge, getting indicted for the murder of his wife. He was played by Bill Pullman in the…
U.K. Foreign Secretary David Lammy arrived in Kyiv on Wednesday, bringing a new support package for Ukraine a day after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that more than 45,000 of his country’s troops had died in the almost three-year war with Russia. Lammy was due to announce 55 million pounds ($69 million) in new support, including 3 million pounds to send Ukrainian grain to war-ravaged Syria through the World Food Program. British officials say the goal is to replace grain Syria received from Russia when it was ruled by deposed President Bashar Assad, an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The…
Cruising leisurely down the Nile River is one of the most popular tourist activities in Egypt. Yes, you can see ancient and remarkable temples with almost no effort. Yes, you can see miles of countryside without leaving your deck chair. But a cruise might not be as much fun as you think if you ignore these tips. 1. Don’t start the cruise in Cairo. This is only my opinion, but those first couple of days cruising down to Luxor are a bit of wasted time that could be better spent. Definitely get yourself a good private Cairo guide, which is very…

Sweden’s worst mass shooting left at least 11 people dead, including the gunman, and at least five seriously wounded at an adult education center west of Stockholm. The gunman’s motive hadn’t been determined by early Wednesday as the Scandinavian nation — where gun violence at schools is very rare — reeled from an attack. Officials said Wednesday that three women and two men, all with gunshot wounds, underwent surgery at Orebro University Hospital. All were in serious but stable condition after being admitted to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. Another woman was treated for minor injuries and was stable. Jonas…
The Trump administration said Tuesday that it is pulling almost all U.S. Agency for International Development workers off the job and out of the field worldwide, moving to all but end a six-decade mission to shore up American security by fighting starvation, funding education and working to end epidemics. The administration notified USAID workers in emails and a notice posted online, the latest in a sudden dismantling of the aid agency by returning political appointees from President Donald Trump’s first term and billionaire Elon Musk’s government-efficiency teams who call much of the spending on programs overseas wasteful. The order takes…
Several days after Tara Stamps was appointed as a Cook County board commissioner in the summer of 2023, heavy storms flooded homes in her district’s West Side neighborhoods — including her own. “So I wasn’t just a representative, I was a victim,” Stamps said at a Monday town hall focused on the county’s draft of its first-ever environmental justice policy. “My uncle who lives with me who’s a double amputee diabetic, was just on his bed, like a life raft, in the basement. And what’s so sad about that is, so many of the elders were like prisoners in their…

You don’t have to be a fan of the Philadelphia Eagles, the Kansas City Chiefs or even football in general to get excited for the Super Bowl.
