Newly unearthed records in a Munich archive have cast doubt on Adolf Hitler's whereabouts at the time of his niece's suspicious 1931 death, according to news magazine Der Spiegel.
Hitler's unusually close and controlling relationship with his niece, Geli Raubal, has long been the subject of speculation and rumor, and newspaper reports at the time suggested that Hitler may have played a role in her death.
September 24, 2026Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived at the White House on Thursday for his first state visit to Washington in more than a decade, greeted by President Donald Trump with the full machinery of a state occasion. The pageantry was impressive, but the substance is considerably harder. The two leaders are confronting a relationship that has moved beyond the old vocabulary of tariffs and trade deficits. Artificial intelligence, advanced semiconductors, critical minerals and national security are now intertwined, while Iran has added a live geopolitical crisis to an already dangerous relationship. Trump has said AI will be a “big topic” of the talks, but also indicated that he wants the existing situation left largely intact.
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney says he studied the possibility of U.S.-led military action in Canada. In a lengthy New York Times interview published Wednesday, Carney declined to discuss in detail what that examination involved, but he suggested it would be irresponsible not to prepare for what he called "extreme tail risk."
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent failed to disclose at least $100,000 worth of JPMorgan Chase stock owned by his husband John Freeman, an omission that sparked an inspector general inquiry this summer that ultimately cleared him, according to ethics documents obtained by POLITICO.
NEW YORK — Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian used his address to the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday to answer President Donald Trump’s threats with a message of defiance — while leaving the door to diplomacy open. After nearly seven months of war with the United States and Israel, Pezeshkian said Iran would not “bend the knee” under sanctions, military pressure or "bullying". But he also said Tehran was prepared for a diplomatic solution, provided its conditions were addressed.
Now, a team from the Center for Astrophysics Harvard & Smithsonian and the University of Oregon has announced an important first: A radio signal coming directly from an exoplanet (a planet outside the Solar System).
BEIJING, Sept 22 (Reuters) - China has appointed Hu Changsheng as the new Communist Party secretary of Tibet, making him the southwestern region's top official, replacing Wang Junzheng, state-run Xinhua said on Tuesday.
NASA scientists found that Earth's center of mass wanders only about half as far each year as previously thought — and revealed what's driving the wobble
President Donald Trump had a really rough week last week. Crude oil prices kept spiking with no sign of abating. He lost his mail-in ballot case at the Supreme Court. The Fed didn’t listen to him and raised rates. A few Republicans voted against the Iran war. And poll after poll showed his party in a dire political position ahead of the midterms.
By law, no country can own the Moon. So they're claiming it another way.
A US-led bloc of 67 nations and a rival China-Russia bloc are racing for the same handful of spots at the lunar south pole, the only places with both sunlight to power a base and ice to make water and rocket fuel. They can't own the land, so they pass laws to own whatever they mine, and draw "safety zones" that work as keep-out fences around wherever they land. The Apollo flags have already bleached blank white. The next ones won't be symbols. This is who's taking the Moon, how the 1967 treaty is being walked around, and why getting there first is becoming the same as owning it.
Stephen Miller is leading an unprecedented and intense White House drive across a host of government departments to accelerate the removal of undocumented immigrant children from the US, using tactics that critics say are cruel and racist and, in some cases, flout federal law, the Guardian has learned.
I never thought I'd say that. But I can't wait for the upcoming United Nations General Assembly, especially if the Iranians show upI was not born when Khrushchev rocked the boat in 1960, shoe-brandishing and screaming in Russian against the "jerk, stooge, and toady of American imperialism" Philippine delegate Lorenzo Sumulong, but I've seen the replays. Those were the days — when today's hegemon had an equal adversary. Well, Iran has not been an easy one either, nowadays, and it has managed to stand its ground in real wartime, not merely in anticipation of a first hit. That makes this UN spectacle worth watching.
They’re tied to Trump’s anchorTHE HOME OF DWIGHT EISENHOWER and Amelia Earhart is rarely part of the national conversation—but that could be about to change. It is becoming clear that the race for Senate this year could be a huge upset. In the nineteenth century, Kansas was the scene of violent clashes over slavery, which temporarily earned it the moniker “Bleeding Kansas,” and in the twentieth it was the birthplace of Brown v. Board of Education, the Supreme Court’s historic ruling finding racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional. But in recent decades, it’s been a backwater, mostly due to its size (a bit under 3 million people) and political lopsidedness. Kansas has voted Republican in every presidential contest since 1968 and hasn’t sent a Democrat to the Senate since 1932.
