Millions across the northeastern United States contended with treks to school and work as they dug out from a major storm that blanketed the region with snow, canceled flights, disrupted transit and downed power lines. Snow moved north Tuesday giving way to sunshine in parts of the region, but National Weather Service forecasters warned another storm originating in the Great Lakes is right around the corner. In New York City, Mayor Zohran Mamdani declared that more 900,000 students in the nation’s largest public school system had a regular day. Mamdani invited kids to pelt him with snowballs over his decision.

The Pentagon says U.S. military forces have boarded a third sanctioned oil tanker in the Indian Ocean after tracking it from the Caribbean Sea in an effort to target illicit oil connected to Venezuela. U.S. Southern Command said Tuesday in a post on X that U.S. forces boarded the Bertha overnight. President Donald Trump had ordered a quarantine of sanctioned tankers near Venezuela in December to pressure then-President Nicolás Maduro before his capture. Venezuela faced U.S. sanctions on its oil for several years, relying on a shadow fleet of falsely flagged tankers to smuggle crude into global supply chains.

Newsom Lied to be Relatable

The former Los Angeles fire chief has filed a lawsuit against the city, alleging that her ouster was part of an orchestrated effort to smear her conduct and decision-making so Mayor Karen Bass could avoid accountability for the most destructive wildfire in LA history. Bass sacked Kristin Crowley a month after the January 2025 Palisades Fire, and her dismissal was followed by finger-pointing between the ex-chief and City Hall over the blaze's devastation and the fire department’s funding. In March of that year, Crowley lost an appeal to the City Council to win back her job. Crowley's lawsuit filed last week alleges that Bass spread misinformation to protect the mayor's political reputation following the fire. The mayor's office didn't immediately comment on the lawsuit. A message seeking comment was also sent to the LA City Attorney’s office. Crowley accuses the first-term Democrat of trying to distract from criticism over being in Africa for a presidential delegation when the blaze started, even though weather reports had warned of dangerous wildfire conditions in the days before she left. Bass made statements to shift blame, “including falsely claiming that she was not aware of the nationally anticipated weather event, falsely claiming that the LAFD’s budget was not cut, and falsely claiming that LAFD’s resources would have supported an additional 1,000 firefighters to fight the blaze,” the lawsuit alleges. “These false statements were not mistakes but part of a deliberate strategy to divert scrutiny from Bass’ decisions and to avoid accountability,” the lawsuit states. In the filing, the former chief seeks unspecified economic and compensatory damages. Bass fired Crowley on Feb. 21, 2025, six weeks after the LA fire started. She praised Crowley early on in the firefighting efforts, but she said she later learned that an additional 1,000 firefighters could have been deployed on the day the blaze ignited. Furthermore, she said Crowley rebuffed a request to prepare a report on the fires that is a critical part of investigations into what happened and why. Crowley's legal filing disputes both those claims. The Palisades Fire began Jan. 7 in heavy winds. It destroyed or damaged nearly 8,000 homes, businesses and other structures, and it killed at least 12 people in the Pacific Palisades, an affluent LA neighborhood. Another fire started that day in Altadena, a suburb east of LA, killing at least 17 people and destroying or damaging more than 10,000 homes or other buildings.

Josh previews President Trump’s State of the Union address set for tonight, breaking down what to expect and why the stakes couldn’t be higher. He takes a look at the history of the State of the Union, why some critics believe the speech has outlived its usefulness, and what Americans should actually be listening for this evening. Josh explains why, once again, it all comes back to the economy — and what the president must say to reassure voters heading into a pivotal year. He also reacts to striking comments from former Obama and Biden administration official Susan Rice, arguing they serve as a warning Americans should not ignore. Plus, Josh dives into the escalating violence in Mexico, particularly in resort cities south of the border, and discusses what steps the administration may need to take to restore order and protect American interests. Later in the show, Jan Jekielek — senior editor at The Epoch Times, host of American Thought Leaders, and author of Killed to Order — joins Josh to discuss his investigation into China’s ongoing organ harvesting practices and what he uncovered in his powerful new book.

A person was shot near the Canadian border in New Hampshire early Sunday by a U.S. Border Patrol agent who was returning fire, investigators said Monday. The person was taken to a hospital, officials said. The FBI said the shots were fired around 1 a.m. Sunday in Pittsburg, a town of about 800 people at the border with Canada. The agency did not provide a name of the suspect, but said the person was receiving medical attention at a hospital. The Border Patrol agent, whom the FBI also did not name, was unharmed, an agency spokesperson said. Pittsburg is a rural community that is home to the state's sole border crossing with the Canadian province of Quebec. The shots were fired near the port of entry, U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott said. The FBI's Boston field office will be investigating the shooting along with the U.S. Attorney's Office in the District of New Hampshire, authorities said. "Initial reports indicate that the subject opened fire on the agent at which time the agent returned fire," Scott said in a statement. “CBP is cooperating fully with investigators.” Officials with the FBI, CBP and U.S. Attorney's Office declined to provide more detail on the suspect or the circumstances that led to the exchange of gunfire. The U.S. Attorney's Office said in a statement that information would be released if charges are brought against the person. Pittsburg is about 150 miles (241 kilometers) north of the state capital of Concord. The town borders Maine and Vermont as well as Canada. The shooting took place near a usually quiet crossing in the only town in New Hampshire that borders Canada. That international border stretches for close to 60 miles (97 kilometers).

New York City police are investigating after officers were pelted with snowballs while responding to a massive snowball fight at Washington Square Park in Manhattan, as a winter storm blanketed the Northeast in snow. A video of the fracas shows two uniformed officers pacing a walkway in the park Monday as snowballs fly at them from all directions, hitting the officers and covering them in snow. The officers, growing visibly frustrated, shoved at least two people to the ground as snowballs continued to whizz by. At one point, a person runs up behind an officer and mushes some snow onto his head. One of the officers can be seen rubbing his eye toward the end of the video. In a statement Tuesday, the New York Police Department said multiple uniformed officers were struck in the face with snowballs and were “removed by EMS in stable condition" to a nearby hospital, but did not disclose additional information on their injuries. No arrests have been made. Jessica Tisch, the city’s police commissioner, called the behavior “disgraceful” and “criminal" and said the department is investigating. Several political figures in the city were quick to denounce the dust up, with many of New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s critics seizing on the incident as evidence that respect for law enforcement has declined under the new mayor, who faced attacks during his campaign over criticisms he made of the department in 2020. Mamdani has walked back those past remarks. Mamdani, in a post on X on Tuesday, wrote “Officers, like all city workers, have been out in a historic blizzard, keeping New Yorkers safe and cars moving. Treat them with respect. If anyone’s catching a snowball, it’s me.”
