Donald Trump doesn’t want us to believe our own eyes | Steven Greenhouse

Renee Nicole Good’s killing is the latest example of the president’s outrageous – and blatant – assaults on the truth

With Donald Trump back in office for a year, it seems increasingly clear what his motto should be: “Who you gonna believe, me or your lying eyes?” Whether about grocery prices, January 6, Ukraine or actions by ICE agents, Trump keeps making astonishingly false statements that contradict what we can see with our own eyes.

In recent weeks, Trump has once again sought to bamboozle us into not believing what we saw – the most egregious recent example involved the ICE agent who killed Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis. Within hours of her death, Trump smeared Good on Truth Social, saying that the 37-year-old mother of three belonged to “a Radical Left Movement of Violence and Hate” and that she “viciously ran over the ICE officer”. Trump added, “It is hard to believe he is alive, but is now recovering in the hospital.”

New filtration technology could be game-changer in removal of Pfas ‘forever chemicals’

Researchers found a new way to filter and destroy Pfas chemicals at 100 times the rate of current systems

New filtration technology developed by Rice University may absorb some Pfas “forever chemicals” at 100 times the rate than previously possible, which could dramatically improve pollution control and speed remediations.

Researchers also say they have also found a way to destroy Pfas, though both technologies face a steep challenge in being deployed on an industrial scale.

Keala Settle on life after the Greatest Showman: ‘I ran from fear – I drank, took pills, all of it’

The Broadway performer shot to fame without a safety net in The Greatest Showman. The resulting public scrutiny was painful, she says, but it was the ideal grounding to step into the shoes of presidential widow Mary Lincoln

Bathed in the fluorescent glow of a rehearsal studio on the south bank of the Thames, Keala Settle is embodying a woman redefining herself in the court of public opinion. Cast as former first lady Mary Lincoln in Mrs President, a sombre and haunting stage production that begins a six-week run at London’s Charing Cross theatre this month, she grapples with the turbulent inner world of Abraham Lincoln’s wife, vilified by the media and eager to rewrite herself in the eyes of the US after her husband’s assassination and the civil war.

As an actor, and woman, Settle – known globally for her performance in The Greatest Showman as bearded lady Lettie Lutz – is also done with being what people tell her to be. It has, she explains, taken 10 years to reach this point. But her own encounters with celebrity and grief were the ideal preparation for this psychological drama. “This role – I jumped at it. I’ve never related to anything so closely.”

If I’d pitched Trump’s Greenland plot for Borgen I’d have been laughed at. Now we’re living his sinister drama

The only positive of this stranger-than-fiction scenario is that Greenland and Denmark stand more united than ever

  • Adam Price is the creator of the TV series Borgen

As a writer of political fiction for many years, including four seasons of my TV series Borgen, I find myself in the strangest of landscapes watching Donald Trump desperately wanting Greenland like a spoilt child who has never heard the word “no”.

We dedicated an episode to Greenland in the first season in 2010 and then it became the main setting for the fourth season in 2022. Our focus on this former colony of Denmark, and its amazing Indigenous people, was motivated by one big factor. For political drama I always look for stories with emotion, and the old colonial tale of Denmark and Greenland is full of it.

Nine bedrooms, seven untimely deaths: can ‘cursed’ Venice palace finally attract a buyer?

Palazzo Ca’ Dario, empty for years, has failed to find a new owner, with local legends suggesting it is jinxed

It ought to be an estate agent’s dream. Primely positioned on the banks of the Grand Canal in Venice, just steps away from the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, the storied Palazzo Ca’ Dario has shimmered on the water since the late 15th century, its elegant early Venetian Renaissance facade among the city’s most distinctive.

Named after its first owner, Giovanni Dario, a diplomat hailed a hero after securing a peace treaty with the Ottoman empire, over the centuries the palazzo has been home to nobles, merchants and even British rock music royalty. In 1908, it was painted by Claude Monet during his trip to Venice and one year later was cited by Henry James in his travelogue Italian Hours.

TikTok Avoids US Ban as Joint Venture Deal Officially Closes

TikTok has announced that it has finalized a deal to establish a majority American-owned joint venture, allowing the app to continue operating in the United States indefinitely.


First agreed in December, the deal creates "TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC," which will be 80.1 percent owned by U.S. and global investors, with ByteDance retaining a 19.9 percent stake. Oracle, Silver Lake, and Abu Dhabi-based MGX each hold 15 percent as managing investors. Additional stakeholders include the Dell Family Office and affiliates of Susquehanna International Group.

A White House official confirmed that both the U.S. and Chinese governments have signed off on the arrangement.

President Trump praised the outcome in a social media post, writing that he was "so happy to have helped in saving TikTok," and thanked Chinese President Xi Jinping "for working with us and, ultimately, approving the Deal."

The new venture will operate under a seven-member, majority-American board of directors. Adam Presser, formerly TikTok's general manager and global head of operations, has been appointed CEO of the joint venture. TikTok's global chief executive Shou Zi Chew will also serve on the board.

Under the agreement, the venture will handle U.S. data protection, content moderation, and algorithm security. TikTok's recommendation algorithm – widely considered key to the app's popularity – will be retrained exclusively on U.S. user data and secured within Oracle's cloud infrastructure. Oracle will also serve as a "Trusted Security Partner" to review and validate TikTok's source code.

The deal ends years of regulatory uncertainty that began in August 2020, when Trump first tried to ban the app during his first term. Congress passed legislation in 2024 requiring ByteDance to divest TikTok's U.S. operations or face a nationwide ban. The law was upheld by the Supreme Court in January 2025. Trump has extended the deadline multiple times since then to let the negotiations play out.

TikTok has more than 200 million users in the United States. It's unclear exactly how the restructured algorithm will affect the user experience, but the app could end up working differently compared to TikTok in other countries.
