WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden’s top adviser at the White House on the Western Hemisphere is set to depart his post in mid-March, a National Security Council official told McClatchy and the Miami Herald. Juan Gonzalez, special assistant to the president and senior director for the Western Hemisphere, advocated for direct talks with Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela and for avoiding U.S. military involvement in Haiti throughout his tenure at the White House.

AT&T Stadium will change its name to Dallas Stadium for the 2026 FIFA World Cup due to FIFA guidelines. The name change happened because FIFA does not allow corporate sponsors to represent venues at the World Cup. AT&T Stadium is not the only venue that will need to change names.

This year, the Golden Globes is off to a fresh start with new owners, a new network, a new host and new voters following an industry-wide backlash aimed at the group that ran the show for decades. A 2021 Los Angeles Times investigation detailing ethical lapses and a lack of diversity within the ranks of the scandal-scarred Hollywood Foreign Press Association led to the revamping of the small but influential not-for-profit organization. Last October, the Golden Globes announced the new list of voters for its 2024 ceremony, made up of 300 journalists from around the world, calling it the most di......

SAN DIEGO — The U.S. Department of Justice has unsealed eight indictments in San Diego and elsewhere detailing a massive narcotics trafficking operation by the new bosses of the Beltrán Leyva organization, once one of Mexico's most powerful drug cartels. The announcement Wednesday came the same day the U.S. Coast Guard unloaded more than 18,000 pounds of seized cocaine at the 10th Avenue Marine Terminal in the Barrio Logan neighborhood of San Diego. Officials said the two events were unrelated, as the cocaine offloaded by the Coast Guard was seized over the past two months, while the alleged c......

California's Gov. Gavin Newsom and Florida's Gov. Ron DeSantis love to brag about how their state is the best place to live, work and enjoy life. Newsom, a second-term Democrat, and DeSantis, a Republican presidential nominee, will debate Thursday for 90 minutes in Alpharetta, Georgia, starting at 9 p.m. Eastern time. Fox News Channel commentator Sean Hannity will moderate. Expect lots of boasts, along with numbers from both that appear to back up all of their claims. DeSantis, for example, told“Fox and Friends’’ last week “People are flooding into Florida because we’ve stood for freedom and p......
