Clark was a little farther away from referees on Sunday than she had been for the past few years when she was wearing a Hawkeyes uniform.

The weapons package will include the High Mobility Artillery Rocket (HIMAR) system, but not HIMAR ammunition, and 155 mm artillery shells, drones and Javelin surface-to-air missiles, the official said. Once the announcement on the weapons package is made, the U.S. will have a remaining $6.9 billion in PDA funding and $2.…

The nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has rankled some abortion opponents, who are concerned about his past statements expressing a liberal position on reproductive rights.

As recently as May, he said a woman should be able to have an abortion when she's full term, although he later walked that statement back and announced support for some restrictio…

A bipartisan group of lawmakers passed legislation in the House to bolster geothermal energy production by increasing the frequency of lease sales. The Committing Leases for Energy Access Now Act (CLEAN) passed in the House Tuesday and will amend the Geothermal Steam Act of 1970 to require the Department of Interior (DOI) to hold lease sales every year, rather than every two years. Additionally, the bill seeks to speed up the permit process for lease sales by setting a 30-day deadline for the DOI to notify an applicant if a permit has been approved. The bill also requires the DOI hold a replacement sale if a lease sale is canceled or missed. LEAVE THE OIL TO ME: TRUMP VO…

The promotion came well after Young alleged that CNN "destroyed his reputation and business by branding him an illegal profiteer who exploited desperate Afghans" during a Nov. 11, 2021, segment on CNN’s "The Lead with Jake Tapper," which …
