The Trump administration’s sweeping immigration crackdown is now rattling international adoptees, fearing that they could be next. According to The Independent, hundreds of thousands of people adopted from overseas are increasingly worried they could be caught up in expanded ICE enforcement—even those who have lived in the U.S. for decades. Minneapolis-based nonprofit Adoptees United told the outlet they estimate roughly 200,000 foreign-born adoptees grew up without automatic U.S. citizenship due to gaps in past immigration law. The anxiety comes after an aggressive federal enforcement push that sparked widespread fear in Minnesota, including among people living in the U.S. legally or on a path to citizenship. Legal experts say the concern isn’t entirely unfounded. Family law attorney Mónica Dooner Lindgren told The New York Times that enforcement efforts in the state have appeared to be targeting “all people of color,” while federal courts have cited over 7,000 cases of wrongful ICE detention. Lawmakers have yet to offer inclusive protections for international adoptees. A bill proposed to the House of Representatives in September—the Protect Adoptees and American Families Act—would grant automatic citizenship to all international adoptees, but it has not made progress.

Investigators on the Nancy Guthrie case have pinpointed a key date in the search for the missing 84-year-old. “We do believe that something occurred on Jan. 11, and that’s with the FBI’s analysis of the equipment and digital stuff they’ve done,” Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos told KOLD. He declined to elaborate on what that evidence shows. The date also lines up with a potentially crucial sighting. Guthrie’s neighbor, Aldine Meister, has told news outlets that she saw a suspicious man roaming the area on Jan. 11. Meister said he was hunched over, wearing a baseball hat lowered on his face. “He was kind of looking around, and he just didn’t fit,” she told NewsNation’s Brian Entin. Meister reported the incident to authorities after Guthrie’s disappearance. The FBI has also requested that all of Guthrie’s neighbors hand over doorbell camera footage from Jan. 11. It is unclear whether investigators’ focus on Jan. 11 is related to Meister’s account. Nancy Guthrie was last seen on Jan. 31 at her Tucson, Arizona, home and was reported missing on Feb. 1. Nanos said earlier this month that investigators have gathered “a lot of intel” and are “definitely closer” to breaking the case.

There’s no better time to get your nighttime routine back on track than March (aka Sleep Awareness Month)—especially if a good night’s sleep has been feeling more like a distant dream. If you’re looking for a non-prescription, zero-proof sleep aid to help you fall (and, perhaps more importantly, stay asleep), cannabis-based supplements may be worth considering. TribeTokes’ CBN and CBD Sleep Gummies are formulated to help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep. They’re a smart alternative if melatonin has left you dealing with next-day grogginess or overly vivid dreams—both of which are common side effects.

Each fruit-flavored gummy contains 20mg of CBN (cannabinol), a mildly psychoactive cannabinoid that may help improve sleep duration, along with 10mg of CBD to enhance its calming, sleep-supporting effects. The formula also includes vitamin B6 and L-tryptophan (an essential amino acid), which help support the body’s natural melatonin production. And if you’re looking for a gentle buzz alongside those sleep benefits, the brand also offers THC-powered options.

If you’ve been searching for a gentle, over-the-counter sleep aid and nothing else has worked, consider this your sign to give TribeTokes’ THC and THC-free sleep gummies a try.

Jennifer Lopez subtly shaded Ben Affleck during a performance at her Las Vegas residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. The 56-year-old singer, who has been enjoying sold-out shows, was engaging with fans in the audience when she spotted one particularly eager attendee. “Can we bring him up here? Yes, you!” Lopez shouted, before adding with a grin, “Oh yes, look at this guy, we’re gonna take him for everything that he’s got.” When she asked the fan his name and he replied, “Ben,” Lopez immediately reacted with a loud “ugh” and then burst into laughter, delighting the crowd. Lopez and Affleck, 53, famously dated in the early 2000s before calling off their 2003 engagement, only to rekindle their romance in 2021. The pair remarried in August 2022, but Lopez filed for divorce in August 2024, on their second wedding anniversary.

A cyberattack on one of America’s largest court-mandated breathalyzer companies left thousands of drivers with DUI convictions stranded—unable to start their vehicles after the hack knocked out the back-end systems their cars depend on to function. Intoxalock provides in-car breath tests to drivers ordered by courts to use them as a condition of getting back behind the wheel. Fail the test, and the car won’t start. But when the company’s systems went down following the unspecified attack, drivers were left locked out regardless of whether they were sober. In a post on their website Sunday evening, the company said its systems had been restored. The incident is the latest in a growing wave of ransomware and cyberattacks hitting infrastructure that was never designed to be internet-connected. Whole Foods was left unable to stock its shelves after one such attack last year. France’s postal service was brought down around Christmas. The British Library was disrupted for over two years following a major hack in 2023.

Removing peach fuzz is one of those small tweaks that makes a surprisingly big difference. Dermaplaning (or removing facial hair) can help your skin look smoother, makeup sit better, and your skincare actually has a fighting chance of absorbing instead of getting caught in a layer of fuzz.

Unfortunately, dermaplaning (especially when not performed by a professional) is not exactly foolproof—one wrong angle and you’re dealing with nicks, irritation, or a compromised barrier. Enter Love Indus’ Velvet:08 Broadway Bright Detox Mask, which promises a similar smoothing effect, minus the blade.

Instead of physically scraping the skin, this formula works more like a gentle reset. It helps clear excess oil, lightly exfoliates, and gradually improves texture, leaving skin looking brighter and more even over time. You won’t get that instant “freshly shaved” feeling, but you will notice your skin looking softer, smoother, less fuzzy, and a little more polished with consistent use.

The pore-refining face mask also pulls double duty as a “botanical polish,” working in just eight minutes to refine texture and create a better base for makeup. The standout ingredient is Thanaka Wood, a rare botanical that’s said to help slow the appearance of peach fuzz regrowth while giving skin that subtle, soft-focus finish. If you like the results of dermaplaning but not the process (or the risks that come along with it), this is a much lower-maintenance way to achieve a similar effect—no blade necessary.

Jurors of a civil trial in California have found comedian Bill Cosby liable for drugging and sexually assaulting a woman in 1972 and awarded her $59.25 million. After nearly two-weeks of the trial in Santa Monica, jurors found 88-year-old Cosby was liable for the sexual assault and battery of Donna Motsinger. She was awarded $17.5 million in past damages and $1.75 million for future damages. They included “mental suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, inconvenience, grief, anxiety, humiliation, and emotional distress.” On Monday, in a second phase of the trial, Motsinger was then awarded an extra $40 million in punitive damages. After the initial award, Cosby’s attorney, Jennifer Bonjean, told the Associated Press they were disappointed and would appeal the verdict. She has yet to comment on the punitive damages. In a statement, Motsinger said the verdict was about “finally being heard” and holding Cosby accountable. “I have carried the weight of what happened to me for more than 50 years. It never goes away,” she said. The assault happened when Motsinger was working as a server in a Sausalito restaurant, and Cosby invited her to see his comedy show at a nearby theater. She says Cosby gave her two pills she believed were aspirin before she started going in and out of consciousness in his limousine and then woke up in her house wearing only underwear. This week’s decision comes almost five years after Cosby was freed from prison in Pennsylvania when the state Supreme Court threw out a criminal conviction based on similar allegations. Motsinger’s $59.25 million sum is the most Cosby has had to pay in a case. The comedian, best known for The Cosby Show, has always maintained his innocence.

A massive explosion tore through one of the country’s largest oil refineries Monday, sending towering plumes of smoke into the sky and forcing nearby residents to shelter in place. The blast struck the Valero refinery near the Texas coast, around 90 miles east of Houston—a facility capable of processing 435,000 barrels of oil per day and employing about 770 workers. No injuries were reported. “There’s been an explosion, yes, but we’re OK; everybody’s OK,” the local mayor said. “They’re trying to put the fire out as quickly as possible.” The timing could hardly be worse. Gas prices are already spiking amid global supply uncertainty driven by President Donald Trump’s war in Iran. Early indications on Tuesday showed that the price of oil was ticking back up to around $102 a barrel after a slight reprieve caused by Trump’s insistence (since contradicted by Iran) that peace could be on the horizon. Texas state Rep. Christian Manuel urged residents near the refinery to stay indoors. “Please limit outdoor activity, keep windows and doors closed, and follow guidance from local officials,” he said.

Golf legend John Daly, a longtime friend of President Donald Trump, took a spectacular tumble down a hill during a tournament on Sunday. Daly, 59, had a laugh at his own expense, sharing a video of the flop on Instagram from La Paloma Country Club in Tucson, Arizona. In the video, the two-time major champion is seen attempting a shot on the rough slope near the green. His ball sails over the green—but Daly loses his balance and bellyflops down the hill, disappearing from view. “On today’s episode of jacka**,” Daly wrote over the clip. He captioned his post, “Bellyfloppin’ in the desert 🌵 🏜️ 🏌️‍♂️.” He appears to be uninjured. Daly has frequently golfed with Trump and affectionately referred to the president as “Daddy Trump” in a March interview on Newsmax. He once called a 2019 golf outing with Trump “one of the greatest days of my life,” writing on X, “#dad….you are the best!” The golfer, who once claimed he consumes between two and three packs of cigarettes and 15 cans of Diet Coke per day, finished 6-under par, tying for 29th at Sunday’s Cologuard Classic.

A quadruple amputee cornhole pro has been accused of fatally shooting someone in the passenger seat of his car. Dayton Webber, 27, allegedly shot Bradrick Wells, 27, following an argument in La Plata, Maryland, on Sunday night. Webber allegedly asked the two people in the backseat to move Wells out of the car. Instead, they exited the vehicle and called the police as Webber allegedly drove off with Wells’ body. Wells’ body was found in a yard in nearby Charlotte Hall, Maryland. Authorities caught up with Webber at a Virginia hospital, where he was arrested. Webber is set to be extradited to Maryland and charged with first- and second-degree murder. “It’s early in the investigation, but there’s no evidence to suggest anyone else was involved in the shooting and that he acted alone,” the Charles County Sheriff’s Office said. Webber has been a quadruple amputee since childhood, after catching a blood infection as a baby. Videos on his personal YouTube channel appear to show the professional cornhole player using his forearms to operate various types of guns.

If you rely on coffee for its focus-boosting powers but could do without the jitters, stomach flips, and inevitable mid-afternoon crash, it might be time to rethink what’s actually in your cup. Enter the new wave of functional blends that promise steady energy without the rollercoaster. My go-to functional coffee? Everyday Dose’s mushroom coffee. Yes, mushroom coffee isn’t exactly a novel concept.

If you’ve tried early iterations, you know the flavor could skew aggressively earthy—more forest floor than flat white. The category has evolved, and Everyday Dose is part of a newer class of brands prioritizing taste as much as function. The result is a brew that’s creamy, smooth, and convincingly coffee-forward, not overtly fungal.

The formula pairs real coffee with nootropic and adaptogenic mushrooms traditionally associated with cognitive support and stress modulation, plus grass-fed collagen for added protein and skin-supporting benefits. Instead of triggering your nervous system, the blend is designed to promote more sustained, even energy—think clear-headed focus without the wired feeling or abrupt crash.

Beyond energy, Everyday Dose leans into the ritual aspect. It dissolves easily, has a naturally mellow finish, and doesn’t require masking with syrups or heavy cream to make it palatable. Plus, for those with sensitive stomachs, many people find mushroom-forward blends easier on digestion than high-acid traditional brews.

Of course, it’s still coffee (you’ll get the caffeine you’re drinking it for—don’t worry), but the added functional ingredients appear to soften the sharper edges of the experience. The net effect feels less like a caffeine spike and more like a steady hum. Precisely what I need in 2026.

For anyone curious about upgrading their morning ritual without giving up the comfort (or flavor) of a proper cup, Everyday Dose makes a strong case that functional coffee has officially grown up.

Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey had to suspend all departing flights following reports of smoke and fire at one of its air traffic control towers. The Federal Aviation Administration said the ground stop was in place until 8:30 a.m. ET after the tower was evacuated following reports of a “burning smell coming from an elevator,” early Monday morning. The FAA later confirmed there was no fire at the Newark airport tower, and the ground stop was later lifted. The incident was the second time that a major New York transport hub has been forced to suspend flights, causing major travel chaos on the East Coast. Late Sunday night, a plane collided with a Port Authority Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting vehicle on the runway at New York’s LaGuardia Airport, killing at least two people and injuring dozens more. The crash has forced the airport to suspend all arriving and departing flights until at least 2 p.m. ET Monday. The New York Police Department closed streets and highway exits leading into LaGuardia Airport following the deadly crash, which also left dozens of people injured.

Superman star Valerie Perrine died on Monday in her Beverly Hills home. The actress was 82. “It is with deep sadness that I share the heartbreaking news that Valerie has passed away. She faced Parkinson’s disease with incredible courage and compassion, never once complaining,” her close friend, filmmaker Stacey Souther, posted on Facebook. Perrine was best known for her role as Eve Teschmacher, Lex Luthor’s love interest, in Christopher Reeve’s 1978 Superman and its 1980 sequel. She also earned an Oscar nomination for her performance in the 1974 Lenny Bruce biopic Lenny, in which she played Honey. The Texan got her start as a Playboy model and television actress and was notably the first actress to appear nude on American television. Perrine, whose illustrious career spanned decades, also had dozens of roles in film, TV, and on the stage, including in one of the highest-grossing rom-coms of all time, What Women Want. Her last film appearance was in 2014’s Silver Skies. She was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2015. The star’s family has started a GoFundMe to pay for her funeral expenses. “After more than 15 years of fighting Parkinson’s, her finances are exhausted,” Souther said in her post announcing Perrine’s death.
