By FATIMA HUSSEIN WASHINGTON — The Department of Government Efficiency, run by President Donald Trump’s billionaire adviser and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, has gained access to sensitive Treasury data including Social Security and Medicare customer payment systems, according to two people familiar with the situation. The move by DOGE, a Trump administration task force assigned to find ways to fire federal workers, cut programs and slash federal regulations, means it could have wide leeway to access important taxpayer data, among other things. The New York Times first reported the news of the group’s access of the massive federal payment system.…

LOS ANGELES — Lindsay Gottlieb has known about this reunion with Caitlin Clark since the summer, since the former Iowa superstar first put her number into Gottlieb’s phone, perhaps the only person in the world who could possibly truly understand the weight on JuJu Watkins’ shoulders.“I’ll see you guys,” Gottlieb remembered Clark telling her, months ago, “when you come to play us.”Indeed, Clark will return to the Carver-Hawkeye Arena on Sunday afternoon for USC’s Big Ten clash with Iowa, a celebration of both the immediate past and the immediate future of women’s basketball. In December, Iowa announced it would retire…
LOS ANGELES — The chants rained down as Wesley Yates III stepped to the free-throw line with six minutes to play, rattling from the crypts of the Galen Center to its upper decks, a sobering reminder that USC was somehow playing this Saturday afternoon in a hostile environment on its own home floor.“Go green! Go white!” a legion of Spartans fans chanted, bloodthirsty for a miss, some behind the baseline rising and waving in an attempt to distract Yates.The Trojans had no home-court advantage. They hadn’t all year. They were dealing with a lot, as a weary Musselman reflected after Monday’s…
By JOSH BOAKPALM BEACH, Fla. — President Donald Trump on Saturday signed an order to impose stiff tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada and China — fulfilling one of his post-campaign commitments to voters that also carries the risk of sparking higher inflation and disrupting businesses across North America.Trump declared an economic emergency in order to place duties of 10% on all imports from China and 25% on imports from Mexico and Canada — America’s largest trading partners — except for a 10% rate on Canadian energy, including oil, natural gas and electricity. The tariffs would go into effect on…
The Clippers traded forward P.J. Tucker and center Mo Bamba to the Utah Jazz, along with a future second-round pick and cash, for guard Patty Mills and forward-center Drew Eubanks, the team announced Saturday.The impetus for the deal appears to be the Clippers now being $4 million below the luxury tax and gaining potential flexibility at the trade deadline or for a potential buyout candidate.The trade also ends a yearlong dilemma for the Clippers.Tucker, who was originally acquired in the deal with the Philadelphia 76ers that brought James Harden to the Clippers, played only 28 games in 2023-24.Tucker had become…

The Ducks sought to spread their wings again but their effort ended up little more than a feather in the cap of the NHL’s Rookie of the Month in Calgary, and now they’ll face two of the runners-up among a group of Montreal Canadiens that they’ll welcome for a Sunday matinee.The Ducks had erupted for 16 goals in three games, all victories, but were stifled Thursday by the Flames’ Dustin Wolf. His sparkling home record gleaned brighter after a 30-save performance that factored into his honor as the league’s top rookie in January.Next up, they’ll likely face another first-year goalie…
