Swollen legs led to President Donald Trump being diagnosed with what’s called chronic venous insufficiency. It’s a fairly common condition among older adults but requires a thorough checkup to rule out more serious causes of swelling in the legs. It happens when veins in the legs can’t properly carry blood back to the heart, which can lead to blood pooling in the lower legs. In addition to swelling, usually around the feet and ankles, symptoms can include legs that are achy, heavy feeling or tingly, and varicose veins. Treatment can include wearing compression stockings, elevating the legs and achieving a healthy weight.

The House is expected to approve President Donald Trump’s request to claw back about $9 billion in already appropriated funding for public broadcasting and foreign aid. The cuts include deep reductions to public broadcasting and foreign aid and are expected to pass Thursday evening. The Senate approved the cuts 51-48 after 12 hours of Democratic efforts to remove the cuts. The cuts would have a tiny impact on the nation’s rising debt but could have major ramifications for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and U.S. food aid internationally. Republicans approved this broad concession of congressional spending power despite having little idea of how the White House Office of Management and Budget would apply the cuts.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has hinted at possible changes to TSA's liquid restrictions. That could mean parting from the current 3-1-1 rule, which has limited liquids in carry-on bags — but details haven't been confirmed yet. Still, her comments signal that potentially larger shift in airport security measures, which were adopted after Sept. 11, is on the way — and follow the TSA's recent change to let travelers keep their shoes on at checkpoints. Relaxing liquid limits could simplify the process, but questions remain about what happens next. Experts say that newer scanners are better at detecting explosive liquids.

CBS is axing “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” in May 2026. The announcement on live air Thursday came two days after Colbert spoke out against Paramount Global settling with President Donald Trump over a “60 Minutes” story. The news was also announced in a press release sent from CBS with a link to a clip of Colbert’s announcement on Instagram. The comedian and TV personality began by telling the audience he was sharing something he learned the night before. Colbert said, "I’m not being replaced. This is all just going away.”

Immigration enforcement agents are detaining people and taking them into custody, at times under public anger and outcry. What’s often not visible are the agents’ faces, covered by caps, sunglasses, pulled-up neck gaiters or balaclavas, effectively rendering them unidentifiable. The increase in high-profile immigration enforcement was already contentious between those opposed to the actions of President Donald Trump’s administration and those in support. The sight of masked agents carrying it out is creating a whole new level of conflict in a way that has no real corollary in the U.S. history of policing.
