Ronald Dion DeSantis (/dəˈsæntɪs/ or /diːsæntɪs/;[3] born September 14, 1978) is an American politician serving as the 46th governor of Florida since 2019. A member of the Republican Party, DeSantis represented Florida's 6th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives from 2013 to 2018.
Born in Jacksonville, DeSantis spent most of his childhood in Dunedin, Florida. He graduated from Yale University and Harvard Law School. DeSantis joined the United States Navy in 2004 and was promoted to lieutenant before serving as a legal advisor to SEAL Team One. He was stationed at Joint Task Force Guantanamo in 2006, and was deployed to Iraq in 2007. When he returned to the U.S. about eight months later, the U.S. Department of Justice appointed DeSantis to serve as a Special Assistant U.S. attorney at the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Middle District of Florida, a position he held until his honorable discharge from active military duty in 2010.
Fallout from former President Donald Trump’s CNN town hall continued on Thursday, with some Republicans taking issue with Trump’s comments on Ukraine.
During the event, Trump declined to say whether he would like to see Russia or Ukraine win the war, and he refused to say Russian President Vladimir Putin is a war criminal. That drew criticism from some Senate Republicans, NBC News’ Liz Brown-Kaiser, Garrett Haake and Dareh Gregorian report.
An unlikely mix of lawmakers spanning MAGA Republicans and democratic socialists is joining forces in hopes of finally keeping fellow members of Congress from being able to trade stocks.
The team includes two Republican representatives: Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, one of the House’s most bipartisan members, and Matt Gaetz of Florida, who is among its most far-right. They introduced the Bipartisan Restoring Faith in Government Act on Tuesday along with two colleagues across the aisle: pro-business New Democrat centrist Raja Krishnamoorthi of Illinois and Democratic Socialists of America member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York.

China and Brazil have reached a deal to trade in their currencies, the AFP reported, citing the Brazilian government on Wednesday.
The deal will allow China and Brazil to carry out trade and financial transactions directly in the Chinese yuan or the Brazilian reais, instead of using the US dollar as an intermediary.

This week, we're discussing a story that has stumped investigators on both sides of the Atlantic for months. According to new intelligence reviewed by U.S. officials, a pro-Ukrainian group may have been responsible for the attack on the Nord Stream pipelines last year. The attack, which links Russia to Western Europe, has been a major mystery in Russia's year-old war in Ukraine.
While there is no evidence that President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine or his top lieutenants were involved, Ukraine and its allies have been seen as having the most logical potential motive to attack the pipelines. This is because they have opposed the project for years, calling it a national security threat.
However, Ukrainian government and military intelligence officials deny any involvement and claim to have no knowledge of who carried out the attack. So, who are the perpetrators, and who directed or paid for the operation?

we discuss the existence of spy balloons that have been floating over the United States for years. Despite the balloons being widely known, no action was taken by previous administrations, including Trump and Obama. The balloons were not directly over the states, but rather close by, about 10 miles off. It was mentioned to Trump by Obama, but nothing was done. It's not a reason to criticize President Biden for not taking action as it makes sense not to shoot a balloon above potentially populated areas.
At the VIP Barbershop less than a mile away from where Tyre Nichols was attacked by five Memphis Police officers, PJ, the shop's owner, described the moment he realised that Mr Nichols was from his community.
He recognised him as the quiet young man who would skate through his shop's parking lot.
"He would ride his skateboard with headphones on, just coasting and minding his business," he said. "He never bothered anyone."
As PJ spoke about Mr Nichols, 29, his violent death and the video of his beating that's soon to be released, the barbershop's lunchtime crowd nodded in agreement.
From November 2022 to January 2023, about twenty classified government documents were discovered by President Joe Biden's attorneys in his former office at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C. and in his personal residence in Wilmington, Delaware, dating to his vice presidency in the Obama administration

Sunday marked the return of Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving following his suspension from the Nets organization after he promoted a controversial film that has been heavily criticized as being antisemitic.
The star point guard had 14 points in a Nets victory over the Memphis Grizzlies, but it seems like his performance was overshadowed by a viral demonstration outside of the Nets stadium prior to the game.
A group of supporters showed up at Barclays Center before the game. According to Nets reporter Kristian Winfield, the group appeared to be Black Hebrew Israelites who were signing outside the stadium prior to the game
