BREAKING: Two uniformed military personnel, appearing to be U.S. National Guardsmen, have been shot in downtown Washington, D.C., sources said.

L'administration Trump a expliqué vouloir donner "la priorité aux Américains" dans les parcs nationaux des États-Unis en faisant payer plus cher les prix d'entrée pour les touristes étrangers.

Les touristes étrangers souhaitant visiter les parcs nationaux américains, tels que les célèbres Grand Canyon ou Yellowstone, devront s'acquitter à partir de 2026 d'un important supplément, a annoncé mardi l'administration Trump, expliquant vouloir donner la "priorité aux Américains".

À compter du 1er janvier, l'abonnement annuel donnant accès à l'ensemble de ces sites passera de 80 dollars à 250 dollars (environ 216 euros), soit plus du triple pour les non-résidents américains, a détaillé le ministère chargé de ces parcs. Et pour les non-détenteurs de cet abonnement, un supplément de 100 dollars (environ 86 euros) sera appliqué aux tickets d'entrée des parcs les plus visités, dont Grand Canyon, Yosemite ou encore Yellowstone, inscrits au patrimoine de l'Unesco.

Shorter Days, Signs of Fatigue: Trump Faces Realities of Aging in Office
 
President Trump has always used his stamina and energy as a political strength. But that image is getting harder for him to sustain.
 
The day before Halloween, President Trump landed at Joint Base Andrews after spending nearly a week in Japan and South Korea. He was then whisked to the White House, where he passed out candy to trick-or-treaters. Allies crowed over the president’s stamina: “This man has been nonstop for DAYS!” one wrote online.
 
A week later, Mr. Trump appeared to doze off during an event in the Oval Office.
 
With headline-grabbing posts on social media, combative interactions with reporters and speeches full of partisan red meat, Mr. Trump can project round-the-clock energy, virility and physical stamina. Now at the end of his eighth decade, Mr. Trump and the people around him still talk about him as if he is the Energizer Bunny of presidential politics.
 
The reality is more complicated: Mr. Trump, 79, is the oldest person to be elected to the presidency, and he is aging. To pre-empt any criticism about his age, he often compares himself to President Joseph R. Biden Jr., who at 82 was the oldest person to hold the office, and whose aides took measures to shield his growing frailty from the public, including by tightly managing his appearances.
 
Mr. Trump has hung a photo of an autopen in a space where Mr. Biden’s portrait would otherwise be, and disparages his predecessor’s physicality often.
 
“He sleeps all the time — during the day, during the night, on the beach,” Mr. Trump said about Mr. Biden last week, adding: “I’m not a sleeper.”
 
Mr. Trump remains almost omnipresent in American life. He appears before the news media and takes questions far more often than Mr. Biden did. Foreign leaders, chief executives, donors and others have regular access to Mr. Trump and see him in action.
 
Still, nearly a year into his second term, Americans see Mr. Trump less than they used to, according to a New York Times analysis of his schedule. Mr. Trump has fewer public events on his schedule and is traveling domestically much less than he did by this point during his first year in office, in 2017, although he is taking more foreign trips.
 
He also keeps a shorter public schedule than he used to. Most of his public appearances fall between noon and 5 p.m., on average.
 
And when he is in public, occasionally, his battery shows signs of wear. During an Oval Office event that began around noon on Nov. 6, Mr. Trump sat behind his desk for about 20 minutes as executives standing around him talked about weight-loss drugs.
 
At one point, Mr. Trump’s eyelids drooped until his eyes were almost closed, and he appeared to doze on and off for several seconds. At another point, he opened his eyes and looked toward a line of journalists watching him. He stood up only after a guest who was standing near him fainted and collapsed.
 
Mr. Trump has prompted additional questions about his health by sharing news about medical procedures he has had, but not details about them. While in Asia, Mr. Trump revealed that he had undergone magnetic resonance imaging at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in early October.
 
“I gave you the full results,” Mr. Trump told reporters, mischaracterizing the summary that was released by his physician, which did not say that Mr. Trump had an M.R.I. scan and contained few other details.
 
“I have no idea what they analyzed,” Mr. Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One recently after he was again asked about his M.R.I. “But whatever they analyzed, they analyzed it well, and they said that I had as good a result as they’ve ever seen.”
 
Mr. Trump also applies makeup to a bruise on the back of his right hand, adding speculation about a medical condition that his physician and aides say is caused by taking aspirin and shaking so many hands. In September, the bruising on his hand, coupled with swollen ankles, caused observers on the internet to speculate wildly about his health.
 
In response to a list of questions about Mr. Trump’s health, including about the results of his M.R.I. and whether or not he was falling asleep in the Oval Office, Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, praised the president’s energy and pointed to Mr. Biden.
 
“Unlike the Biden White House, who covered up Joe Biden’s cognitive decline and hid him from the press, President Trump and his entire team have been open and transparent about the president’s health, which remains exceptional,” Ms. Leavitt said in a statement.
 
After this article published, Mr. Trump called it a “hit piece” in a post on social media.
 
“There will be a day when I run low on Energy, it happens to everyone,” Mr. Trump wrote, “but with a PERFECT PHYSICAL EXAM AND A COMPREHENSIVE COGNITIVE TEST (“That was aced”) JUST RECENTLY TAKEN, it certainly is not now!”

In newly leaked audio, Peter Thiel admits he urged JD Vance to ignore Pope Leo XIV on moral questions — including the ethical development of AI.

He goes even further, branding Leo “the woke American pope” and suggesting he’s a tool of the Antichrist.

A federal judge ruled last week that Trump and the Defense Department illegally deployed the National Guard in Washington, DC. While the order for that decision was delayed to allow time for an appeal, adding more troops would fly in the face of that order.
 
In the order, the judge noted the “substantial risk” that the deployment “is going to lead to a dangerous or deadly encounter that could be catastrophic for public safety.”
