Trump toured the Flex plant in Austin, Texas, in late 2019 to prop up his administration's promise to boost American production might. Apple has used Flex to build Mac Pro models since at least 2013. While the visit to Flex, and Apple's new Austin campus, was well documented, Cook's Mac Pro gift was only today revealed in a financial disclosure report highlighted by The New York Times reporter David Enrich.

President Biden has promised to reinstate more than 100 rules and regulations aimed at environmental protection that his predecessor rolled back. It won’t happen overnight.

China announced on Wednesday it would slap sanctions on outgoing U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and 27 other top officials under Donald Trump. The Chinese foreign ministry announced the sanctions around the time of U.S. President Joe Biden's inauguration and said it would work to cooperate with Biden's new administration.

President Donald Trump's declaration on March 2, 2018, that a trade war with China would be "good and easy to win" remains one of the defining moments of his four years in the White House.

It took an industry man to ruin the internet as we knew it. The damage to a free and open virtual network wrought by the killing of net neutrality standards hasn’t yet assumed the apocalyptic form that digital watchdogs warned of. But the internet service providers who benefit from relaxation of the restrictions are already taking advantage in subtle ways, toeing the line into future, likely more explicit abuses, while prices for service remain sky-high for low-income users.

They bonded nearly a year ago after Joe Biden bent down to greet Brayden Harrington, a 13-year-old boy who stutters, at a campaign stop in New Hampshire. “Don’t let it define you,” Mr Biden said, squeezing Brayden’s shoulder and looking him in the eye. “You are smart as hell.”

Domestic violence against women surged by 23% during Spain’s first lockdown at the onset of the coronavirus pandemic in March 2020, according to a new study using data from the country.

Joe Biden’s inauguration doubled as a promenade of style, featuring thousand-dollar Dior Air Jordan 1s, monochromatic jewel-toned looks, and a skirt so wide it enforced its own sartorial social distancing. But the fashion icon who stole the show was, of all people, Sen. Bernie Sanders, whose casual ’fit became instant meme fodder, with special attention paid to his extremely cozy-looking mittens.

The Interior Department took swift action to deliver on President Biden’s campaign pledge to block oil and gas drilling on public lands, freezing such leases for the next 60 days. An order signed by acting Secretary Scott de la Vega on Wednesday bars the department from pushing ahead with any new leasing or drilling permits. It also blocks any new major mining actions.

You don’t get re-elected for things voters don’t know about.

A number of Jan. 6 rioters have been charged after posting their activities that day to Parler and major social networking sites popular in the U.S.

Trust in traditional media has declined to an all-time low, and many news professionals are determined to do something about it.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) mocked Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) early Thursday for wrongly suggesting that a multinational pact on climate change — the Paris Agreement — was designed to serve “the people of Paris.”

U.S. District Judge Barbara Rothstein sided with Amazon, which argued that Parler would not remove posts from its site that threatened public safety in the wake of the riots on the Capitol.

Joe Biden is set for a flurry of action to combat the climate crisis on his first day as US president by immediately rejoining the Paris climate agreement and blocking the Keystone XL pipeline, although experts have warned lengthier, and harder, environmental battles lie ahead in his presidency.

Over 500 videos taken as rioters stormed the Capitol building have been arranged in chronological order and can be scrolled through by users. ProPublica published the interactive timeline using videos sourced from Parler, the social network favoured by supporters of the president, which was also gathering users’ GPS data.

With her sex work on pause during the pandemic, Lonna Wells was earning money for her family at Taco Bell. But she was fired when a customer complained. Now she’s speaking out.

The founder and CEO of MyPillow, who amplified President Donald Trump's claims of election fraud, said a backlash against his company has begun after a mob stormed the U.S. Capitol this month. Mike Lindell, who appears in TV commercials hugging the company’s foam-filled pillows, said major retailers like Bed Bath & Beyond and Kohl’s have dropped his products recently.

Joseph Maldonado-Passage, aka Joe Exotic, will remain behind bars despite a hoped-for pardon from President Donald Trump. Exotic was made famous last year by the Tiger King miniseries on Netflix and has been very public in his seeking of a pardon. But when the list of presidential pardons and commutations was released shortly before midnight Tuesday by the White House, his name was not on the list.
