Trump’s immigration agenda worsening childcare crisis, lawmakers warn

Democrats questioned White House about immigration policies exacerbating childcare shortages and costs

Democratic lawmakers, led by the senators Elizabeth Warren and Tammy Duckworth and the representative Mike Quigley, are demanding answers about how Donald Trump’s immigration policies are exacerbating childcare shortages and costs in the US.

About 20% of the childcare workforce in the US are immigrants – and as high as 70% in some regions of the US – and the president’s immigration policies could reduce the childcare workforce by an estimated 15%, according to a letter sent today by 48 lawmakers to the Department of Health and Human Services’ Administration for Children and Families (ACF).

Charlotte Bankes rues cruel nature of snowboard cross as dreams dashed again

• Briton finishes ninth after quarter-final defeat

• ‘Sorry, I was hoping to put on a better show’

Few sports at the Winter Olympics are more thrilling or turbulent than snowboard cross. The idea is simple. Four competitors, a steep mountain, ramps, and whoever gets down quickest to the bottom first wins. But jeopardy lurks on every sharp turn and steep bank. And calamities are an unfortunate fact of life.

Team GB’s Charlotte Bankes knows this better than anyone. Four years ago in Beijing she arrived as a gold medal favourite only to leave in tears after finishing ninth. On the brightest of sunny days history repeated itself. Hopes. Dreams. Expectations. Another ninth-place finish. And more tears.

Governo Trump abre nova ação judicial contra Harvard e pede documentos sobre admissões

Governo Trump proíbe alunos estrangeiros em Harvard, principal universidade americana Jornal Nacional/ Reprodução O governo dos Estados Unidos abriu uma nova ação judicial contra a Universidade de Harvard, solicitando informações sobre os processos de admissão. Segundo um documento divulgado pela agência de notícias Reuters nesta sexta-feira (13), no novo processo, aberto em um tribunal federal de Massachusetts, o governo Trump acusa a universidade de não cooperar com uma investigação federal. Os advogados do Departamento de Justiça afirmam que os documentos ajudarão a avaliar se Harvard está cumprindo a decisão da Suprema Corte dos EUA que determinou que programas de admissão em universidades que levam em consideração a raça são inconstitucionais. À Reuters, o departamento federal afirmou que entrou com o processo "exclusivamente para obrigar Harvard a apresentar documentos relacionados a qualquer consideração de raça no processo de admissão" e "não acusa Harvard de qualquer conduta discriminatória, nem busca indenização monetária ou a revogação de financiamento federal". Representantes de Harvard não responderam ao pedido de comentário da agência. Há dez dias, no dia 3 de fevereiro, o presidente Donald Trump já havia anunciado uma nova ofensiva contra a instituição. Em um post na rede Truth Social, afirmou que exige que Harvard pague uma indenização por danos de US$ 1 bilhão (aproximadamente R$ 5,3 bilhões) e a chamou de "fortemente antissemita". "Agora, buscamos uma indenização de um bilhão de dólares e não queremos mais nenhum contato com a Universidade de Harvard no futuro. A Universidade de Harvard, fortemente antissemita, tem alimentado o decadente The New York Times com muitas bobagens", disse. Trump pede indenização de US$1 bilhão à Harvard Reprodução/Truth Social A postagem de Trump foi feita após uma matéria publicada pelo jornal norte-americano The New York Times. O presidente citou uma parte da reportagem que diz que parte das pessoas ligadas à universidade acreditam que Harvard deve fechar um acordo: "Como afirmou claramente o falido The New York Times: 'Alguns ligados à Universidade, no entanto, acreditam que Harvard não tem outra opção senão fechar um acordo. O governo tentou repetidamente cortar as verbas de pesquisa, o que seria uma crise insustentável. Assim como muitas grandes universidades de pesquisa, Harvard depende do financiamento federal para seu modelo financeiro". A investida do presidente contra a universidade começou em 2025, quando o republicano cortou verbas da instituição e proibiu a matrícula de estudantes estrangeiros. Trump sofre derrota na Justiça após proibir estrangeiros em Harvard Em dezembro, o governo Trump recorreu da decisão de um juiz que considerou ilegal o cancelamento de mais de US$ 2 bilhões em bolsas de pesquisa concedidas a Harvard e que, portanto, não pode mais cortar o financiamento de pesquisas para a universidade da Ivy League.

Charli xcx: Wuthering Heights review – atonal, amorous anthems that more than stand apart from the film

(Atlantic)
Casting off her Bratty cigarettes and sunglasses, the pop visionary channels the torments of Heathcliff and Cathy and the tumult of the Velvet Underground on her latest captivating pivot

In the catalogues of rock and pop artists, film soundtracks usually seem like interstitial releases. For every career highlight Shaft or Superfly, there’s a plethora of soundtrack albums that carry the tang of the side-hustle. It was doubtless flattering to be asked in the first place – who doesn’t want to feel like a polymath? – but the results are doomed to languish in the footnotes, alongside the compilations of B-sides and outtakes, where only diehard fans spend extended amounts of time.

But the release of House, the first single taken from Charli xcx’s soundtrack to Wuthering Heights, strongly suggested that its author saw Emerald Fennell’s take on Emily Brontë as a chance for a reset. In 2024’s Brat, she made an album you could genuinely call era-defining without fear of embarrassment: if an album makes an impact on the US presidential campaign and its title ends up refashioned as an adjective in the Collins English Dictionary, then it’s definitely era-defining.
