The Devil Wears Prada 2 Is Ripped Straight From the Headlines—Except When It Comes to Its Fantastical Ending
film review/Reason

The Devil Wears Prada 2 Is Ripped Straight From the Headlines—Except When It Comes to Its Fantastical Ending

Normally, I am against content labels for media, but I might have to make an exception for The Devil Wears Prada 2. This movie should come with a trigger warning, at least for millennial journalists. The fizzy, frothy comedy is also a jewel-box encapsulation of a generation's broken dreams, told through the decline of magazine journalism. The film opens at a journalistic awards ceremony, one of those rubber chicken dinners where journalists give each other plastic trophies to honor worthy (but often little-read) work. Just as our heroine, Andy Sachs (a perky, perfectly neurotic Anne Hathaway), accepts the top honor, she receives a text. Everyone at her table has been fired as part of a corporate cost-cutting deal. Andy makes tearful remarks and goes off to mourn her job and the industry. At the same time, Andy's old nemesis, the fearsome Miranda Priestly—the formidable editor of the (former) fashion powerhouse Runway—is facing a scandal for running a puff piece about a dicey fast fashion company. Runway's owner sees Andy's speech, which has gone viral, and offers her a job as the magazine's features editor in an attempt to revitalize the publication's journalistic credibility. The setup is somewhat strained, but the

Drake Baldwin powers Braves past Rockies 9-1 as Chris Sale dominates again

DENVER — Drake Baldwin homered and drove in four runs, Chris Sale allowed one run in seven innings and the Atlanta Braves rolled past the Colorado Rockies 9-1 on Saturday night. Austin Riley and Matt Olson also homered for the Braves, who won for the 14th time in 17 games and improved their MLB-best record to 24-10. Sale (6-1) gave up three hits and struck out 11 batters while earning his MLB-leading sixth win. In his last four starts, the nine-time All-Star has allowed just three earned runs with 33 strikeouts and seven walks over 26 innings. Braves right fielder Ronald Acuña Jr. left in the second inning with left hamstring tightness. He was attempting to run out a grounder before he pulled up about halfway down the base path and grabbed at his left hamstring. He was replaced by Eli White in right field. Manager Walt Weiss said after the game that Acuña will get an MRI and the team likely wouldn’t know more about the extent of the injury until later Saturday or Sunday. Baldwin matched his single-game career high with three hits and finished a triple shy of the cycle. PHOTOS: Drake Baldwin powers Braves past Rockies

Iran closes Strait of Hormuz again over US blockade and fires on ships

Iran closes Strait of Hormuz again over US blockade and fires on ships

The standoff over the Strait of Hormuz escalated again Saturday as Iran reversed its reopening of the crucial waterway and fired on ships attempting to pass, in retaliation after the United States pressed ahead with its blockade of Iranian ports.New attacks on the strait, through which roughly one-fifth of the world’s oil normally passes, threatened to deepen the global energy crisis and push the countries into renewed conflict as the war entered its eighth week.A fragile ceasefire is due to run out by Wednesday. Iran said it had received new proposals from the United States, and Pakistani mediators were working to arrange another round of direct negotiations.Iran’s joint military command said “control of the Strait of Hormuz has returned to its previous state ... under strict management and control of the armed forces.” It warned it would continue to block transits while the U.S. blockade remained in effect.Revolutionary Guard gunboats opened fire on a tanker and an unknown projectile hit a container vessel, damaging some containers, the British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center said. India’s foreign ministry said it summoned Iran’s ambassador over the “serious incident” of firing on two India-flagged merchant ships, especially after Iran earlier let

More Americans are quitting their U.S. jobs to work abroad, study finds

By Updated on: May 1, 2026 / 6:08 PM EDT / CBS News Add CBS News on Google More U.S.-based workers are leaving the country for what they see as greener — and less office-bound — pastures abroad.Over the last five years, the share of employees who have left their jobs in the U.S. to work abroad has more than doubled, climbing from 2.7% at the end of 2021 to 6% by the end of 2025, according to a recent study from workforce intelligence company Revelio.That data includes both U.S.- and foreign-born workers, encompassing those employed by a non-U.S. company as well as those working remotely for an American company."We are looking at a more and more global labor market, [where] everyone can work from anywhere," Ege Aksu, an economist at Revelio, told CBS News. The migration wave is being led by technology professionals. In IT consulting, for example, nearly 16% of people who switched jobs in December 2025 started a new role outside the U.S., according to Revelio's data. That comes as Europe invests more heavily in AI, cloud infrastructure and other tech sectors. "That means more high-quality jobs, more ambitious startups and more serious competition for talent outside

The Rise of the Epstein Democrat

In demanding the release of the Epstein files, the Party has embraced a radically new way of fighting Donald Trump. Is it a good idea?April 24, 2026Illustration by Jared Bartman; Source photographs from GettyIn February, 2019, the Democrat-led House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform organized a hearing with a star witness they thought would shine a light on the sprawling nexus of scandal engulfing Donald Trump’s first Administration. That witness was Michael Cohen, Trump’s former fixer, who had already pleaded guilty to orchestrating hush-money payments to two women with whom Trump had allegedly had affairs, and to misleading Congress about the extent of Trump’s involvement in talks to erect a building in Moscow with his name on it. Democratic leaders were wary of treading on the toes of Robert Mueller, the special counsel investigating Trump’s ties to Russia, but nonetheless hoped that Cohen’s testimony would be Watergate-level explosive. In the end, Cohen did not come armed with hard proof of Russian collusion but did present documentation linking Trump directly to the hush-money payments. Ro Khanna, a Democratic member of the committee, described this as a “smoking gun,” one that demonstrated Trump was, at minimum, guilty of “garden-variety financial fraud.”At

What Chef Jon Kung Swears By in the Kitchen (2026)

When I ask influencer chef Jon Kung to name the purchase they regret most, there's no deliberation. “In my early twenties, I bought this used SMEG fridge,” the 42-year-old Chinese American TikTok creator tells me. “It's got this giant British flag on it, and I still have it. I've stuck Sex Pistols, Ozzy Osbourne, and Spice Girls stickers on the sides to try to make it a little better.”It's become a conversation piece at the dinner parties Kung hosts at home. Every holiday season, Kung whips up their Chinese takeout feast; it's a seven-course spread that maps their upbringing across Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Toronto, and Detroit—mapo tofu, pumpkin and lotus root curry, superior stock wonton noodle soup, crab rangoons, Balinese crab fried rice, mushroom lo mein, and, for the grand finale, Cantonese roast duck with cherry duck sauce. And, obviously, dessert.That layered, third-culture palate is exactly what has made Kung one of the most compelling food personalities of his generation, with over 2 million online followers. (They also published a cookbook, Kung Food, with over 100 recipes.) Whether they're demystifying global ingredients for a Western audience or sharing meal prep tips, Kung's perspective remains the same: good food should

Source: Getty.May 1, 2026, 2:14 PM ET Hurry! Get up on your two legs (good) or four legs (better) and walk down to your local cineplex, where George Orwell’s Animal Farm has been made into an animated family adventure that critics are describing as “geared to younger children for inexplicable reasons.” If you have ever wanted to see Animal Farm, but where Napoleon the pig keeps calling himself “Napopo” and the story concludes with a big climactic fight sequence on top of the All Animals Are Equal sign (picture dialogue like “Napoleon! What you did at the animal farm was wrong!”), you are in luck.I can only hope that this movie will be a huge success, because I think there are many more animated children’s films to be made based on dystopian source material—now including fart jokes.

Cole Allen, WHCA Dinner Shooting Suspect, No Longer on Suicide Status - Newsweek featured image

Jeanine Pirro says she has evidence officer was shot at White House press dinner

Cole Tomas Allen, the 31-year-old California man charged with attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) Dinner last Saturday, is "no longer on suicide status" at the Correctional Treatment Facility at the D.C. jail complex, according to a court filing submitted Sunday.Allen's federal public defenders withdrew an earlier motion seeking his removal from suicide status, telling the court the request is now moot. The filing comes as the high-profile federal case against Allen continues to unfold, with significant new evidence emerging in recent days about the shooting at the Washington Hilton.The ContextThe court filing offers a brief but notable update in one of the most closely watched federal prosecutions of the year. Allen faces life in prison if convicted of the attempted assassination count alone, and his defense team has signaled it may eventually press for his release before trial.The status of his mental health while in custody is also a matter of legal significance, as it could affect future proceedings, evaluations, and any potential defense strategies.What the Filing SaysThe filing was submitted by Assistant Federal Public Defenders Tezira Abe and Eugene Ohm.

Cameron Young calls tough penalty on himself, immediately gets rewarded by golf gods at Doral

DORAL, Fla. -- Cameron Young didn't have as easy of a time in the third round of the Cadillac Championship as he did while building a big lead Thursday and Friday.It didn't seem to matter, either.Young is still in full control at Trump National Doral, after his round of 2-under 70 on Saturday got him to 15 under for the week. He had a six-shot lead over a group that includes top-ranked Scottie Scheffler into a potentially rainy final round Sunday.“The tournament’s in his hands right now,” said Scheffler, who shot a 3-under 69 to get to 9 under — but hasn’t been able to close the gap on Young. “I can go out and have a really good round, and if he has another really good round he’s going to be a tough guy to catch. All I can do is go out and try and have a great round and see where that leaves me.”Si Woo Kim (69) and Kristoffer Reitan (69) also were 9 under. Ben Griffin 68), Nick Taylor (72) and Matt McCarty (69) were 8 under.Catching Young will be tough in any conditions.And nobody knows what awaits players Sunday at Doral.A lot of rain is

Map Shows US Troop Levels in NATO After Germany Withdrawal

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s vow to shrink America’s military deployment in Germany has put a new spotlight on the U.S. role in Europe.There are usually 80,000 to 100,000 troops on the continent, with more than 36,000 in Germany. The Pentagon announced Friday that it would remove 5,000 troops from Germany, and Trump said the next day that he would go “a lot further” than that. The U.S. military presence is a legacy of World War II, when Americans helped stabilize and rebuild Europe, and the Cold War, when the troops served as a bulwark against Soviet expansion. More recently, the deployment has played a key role supporting operations in the Arctic, Africa and the Middle East including the current conflict with Iran.But Trump has broken with years of bipartisan consensus, criticizing European allies in NATO and following through on threats to reduce the U.S. commitment to the continent’s security. The recent announcement comes after escalating tensions with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who last week said the U.S. was being “humiliated” by Iran and accusing Washington of lacking a clear strategy. Here’s a look at America’s current deployment in Europe and how it could change. What to know about

What Anthropic's Pentagon spat and Claude Mythos tell us about AI

Artificial Intelligence AI Companies Learn the Word No Some of the people building AI have started acting like it might be dangerous. Katherine Mangu-Ward | From the June 2026 issue (Illustration: Algi Febri Sugita/ZUMAPRESS/Jen Golbeck/SOPA Images/Sipa USA/BONNIE CASH/UPI/Newscom/Tech Crunch/Wikimedia Commons) One of the more encouraging developments in artificial intelligence is that some of the people building it have started acting like it might be dangerous. Not in the Skynet sense or the HAL 9000 sense or even the "oops, it deleted all my emails" sense, though AI might be dangerous in all of those ways too. The question is whether the latest models are dangerous to infrastructure, dangerous to privacy, dangerous to security, and dangerous to the blurry line between public and private. For years, Big Tech has been heavy on the gas, light on the brakes—and we have all benefited tremendously, even as angry debates about the downsides have raged. But with AI, at least in a few notable cases, the companies themselves have begun doing something unusual. They have started saying no.

Top Republicans warn Trump's Germany troop withdrawals send wrong message to Putin

7 minutes agoJaroslav LukivEPA-EFE/REX/ShutterstockThe US currently has more than 36,000 active duty troops in GermanyGerman Defence Minister Boris Pistorius has said the US decision to withdraw 5,000 troops from his country was "foreseeable", as the Nato military alliance says it is seeking clarification from Washington.Speaking to the DPA news agency, Pistorius also stressed that "the presence of American soldiers in Europe, and particularly in Germany, is in our interest and in the interest of the US".Meanwhile Nato spokeswoman Allison Hart said the alliance was "working with the US to understand the details of their decision".Washington's move comes after President Donald Trump criticised German Chancellor Friedrich Merz for saying the US had been "humiliated" by Iranian negotiators in the ongoing war.The US military deployment in Germany - currently at more than 36,000 active duty troops - is by far its biggest in Europe, compared with about 12,000 in Italy and 10,000 in the UK.Trump has also suggested pulling US troops from Italy and Spain.Last year, Washington decided to reduce its troop presence in Romania, as part of Trump's plan to shift the focus of US military commitment from Europe to the Indo-Pacific region.There are now growing concerns within the 32-member Nato

How Big Is the American Dream House?

How Big Is the American Dream House?

This is an edition of Time-Travel Thursdays, a journey through The Atlantic’s archives to contextualize the present. Sign up here.“When I was nine or ten and lived in a dark fourth-floor apartment in a building that had seen better days, I fantasized mansions that were more suited to my romantic nature,” Linda Lewis wrote in The Atlantic in 1978. In adulthood, she got only more covetous—of friends’ gorgeous houses, of French castles, of architectural marvels such as Monticello and Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin West.As a fellow house envier, I sympathize. I feel, as Lewis did, that I “behave differently in different kinds of rooms”; that I’m “powerfully influenced by shapes and sizes, light and color, by degrees of privacy and security and beauty.” But I’ve never wanted a mansion, let alone a Monticello. I own a row house, and when I fantasize about something more suited to my romantic nature, what I’m picturing is a slightly bigger row house in a neighborhood with more restaurants.This is very Millennial of me. My generation of Americans is the first in decades to collectively abandon the dream of a big house. In part, that’s likely a concession to reality: Real estate is so

From Brazil's rainforest to Rio de Janeiro, an all-Indigenous soccer team debuts with victory

MARICA, Brazil — When Sávio Conrado Mura left his Indigenous village of stilt houses located deep in the Amazon rainforest in early April, he departed with the hopes of representing his people as a professional soccer player and, maybe, one day playing for the Brazilian national team at the World Cup. Mura’s first step toward earning the chance to don the famous yellow jersey once worn by Pelé and so many other Brazilian soccer greats took place on Sunday in an empty stadium in Rio de Janeiro with a team exclusively made up of Indigenous players. The 21-year-old goalkeeper, who takes his last name from the Mura people of his birth, left his headdresses and bows behind to play for Originarios, a new soccer club in Rio’s fifth division that is mainly for players under the age of 23. He and 25 more youngsters from 13 native Brazilian groups have been getting ready by living and training in Marica, a city of 200,000 located about 25 miles (40 kilometers) from Rio. “I am already a role model for my community,” Mura told The Associated Press after a training session on Thursday. “If me playing in a World Cup is God’s

1,500 beagles will find new homes after release from research facility

Nation May 3, 2026 6:38 PM EDT FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — The first beagles removed from a Wisconsin dog breeding and research facility that was the site of recent protests seemed to know right away that they were safe. "They started within an hour or so coming up to us, wanting attention. Some crawled in people's laps. Every single one of them are super sweet," Lauree Simmons, president and founder of Big Dog Ranch Rescue, said Sunday. "I think they are loving the attention. I just know they know they're safe." Big Dog Ranch Rescue and the Center for a Humane Economy negotiated a confidential agreement to purchase the 1,500 dogs for an undisclosed price from Ridglan Farms, where police used tear gas and pepper spray to repel activists trying to take beagles from the facility last month. Protesters also broke into the facility in March and took 30 dogs. Sixty-three people were referred by the sheriff's department to the district attorney for potential charges related to that break-in. Talks to purchase the animals began months before the April disturbance, and Simmons said her group wasn't connected to the protests. Now, Big Dog Ranch Rescue is working with partners

Three die after suspected hantavirus outbreak on Atlantic cruise ship

Three people are dead and at least three others are sick after a suspected outbreak of hantavirus aboard a cruise ship sailing in the Atlantic Ocean, the World Health Organization said Sunday. The three dead were cruise passengers, said Oceanwide Expeditions, the company that operates the ship, called the MV Hondius, which is currently anchored in Praia, the capital of Cape Verde, an island nation off the west coast of Africa. Passengers will not be allowed to disembark in Cape Verde, the country’s health minister Maria da Luz Lima told Radio Cabo Verde on Sunday. However, local health authorities have visited the ship and assessed two symptomatic crew members “requiring urgent medical care,” Oceanwide Expeditions said in its statement. Hantavirus can cause a severe and often deadly respiratory illness called hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, which killed Betsy Arakawa, the wife of the late actor Gene Hackman, last year. Humans most commonly become infected through contact with rodents like rats and mice, especially with their urine, droppings and saliva, according to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Just one type of hantavirus, the Andes virus, is known to be able to transmit from person to person, but it is rare.

Two U.S. service members missing in Morocco following annual military exercises

World May 3, 2026 11:49 AM EDT CASABLANCA, Morocco (AP) — Two U.S. service members are missing in southwestern Morocco after taking part in annual multinational military exercises in the North African country, the United States Africa Command (AFRICOM) said Sunday. The service members are U.S. Army soldiers who went missing while on a hike, a U.S. defense official told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity as they were not allowed to speak publicly about the issue. READ MORE: Why Gen Z protests are shaking Morocco and how the government has responded "They were not actively taking part in any training.

Police ask for help in Texas shooting that killed 2 teens, wounded 10

AMARILLO, Texas (AP) — Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying suspects in a shooting at a party in Amarillo, Texas, that killed two teenagers and wounded 10 other people.City authorities say they are looking for two people who opened fire at an apartment complex at about 2 a.m. Saturday and are asking local residents to check their doorbell and surveillance cameras for any unusual activity around that time. Details on a motive were not released.Surveillance video released by police shows two suspects opening fire at the outside of an apartment. Yelling and screaming follow, then more gunshots ring out.“When I looked outside and came outside it was complete chaos,” neighbor Phillip Thrasher told KTVT-TV. “I mean there was kids running everywhere, just screaming and running. They didn’t even know where they were running to, you know. And then moms and dads showed up and came to their kids’ rescues. The ones that could, the ones that couldn’t were so upset. I mean there was nothing you could do.” Amarillo police said two teens, ages 16 and 17, were killed and 10 others injured. The conditions of the wounded were not released. “The investigation into this morning’s events

Optimistic Democrats add 8 more House seats to ‘Red to Blue’ program

Additions reflect party's bullishness about midterm prospects Tejano singer Bobby Pulido, who's running for Texas' 15th District, is among the Democrats added to the DCCC's "Red to Blue" program for promising recruits. (Norte Photo/Getty Images file photo) Posted May 4, 2026 at 5:01am Facebook Twitter Email Reddit The House Democratic campaign arm is adding eight more candidates in competitive districts – including several locked in messy primaries – to its list of contenders eligible for additional resources. The “Red to Blue” program provides a glimpse into how the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee views the House battleground and the candidates the party believes will resonate with voters in the run-up to the midterm elections. The committee released its initial list of a dozen challengers in February. The additions reflect Democrats’ rising optimism of flipping the House, emboldened by a political climate that appears increasingly inhospitable to Republicans, who are defending a razor-thin majority in the chamber. “House Democrats have the momentum to take back the majority,’’ DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene of Washington said in a statement. “These latest additions to our Red to Blue program represent the strength of our people-first message and the broad appeal of our top-tier candidates.” The

Iran blockade ‘going global’ is a warning signal to China and Russia

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! On Tuesday, U.S. Marines from the USS Tripoli once again fast-roped from their MH-60 Seahawk helicopters onto the deck of a suspicious container ship named Blue Star III heading for Iran. That makes a total of 39 vessels turned back, boarded or seized since April 13."The blockade has been unbelievably effective," President Donald Trump said on Sunday. Economic pressure is the main point of the blockade, but it has military impact far beyond the Strait of Hormuz."We seized their sanctioned ships, and we will seize more," U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth briefed at the Pentagon on Friday, April 24. "Our blockade is growing and going global," Hegseth added."Going global" is sending shockwaves through China. China imports at least 70% of its oil. Of that, 90% moves by sea. Iran alone supplied 14% of China’s imports last year, with Russia adding another 18%. Most of that oil was moved by shadow fleet tankers.TRUMP CASTS MADURO’S OUSTER AS ‘SMART’ MOVE AS RUSSIA, CHINA ENTER THE FRAY The blockade continues, as a U.S. military helicopter hovers over the sanctioned stateless crude oil tanker M/T Tifani during an interdiction on April 21, 2026.

Inside China’s AI ‘wolf pack’ drones built with Taiwan conflict in mind

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! China is developing AI-enabled robotic "wolf packs" designed to scout, supply and potentially support combat operations alongside troops in a future war — including a possible invasion of Taiwan — according to a new report.The analysis from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) says Beijing is reshaping how wars can be fought by integrating artificial intelligence, robotics and autonomous systems directly into frontline operations.At the center of that effort are quadruped robots — often referred to in Chinese reporting as "robotic wolves" — that the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) is testing as part of its push toward what it calls "intelligentized warfare."While China has showcased robotic dogs in recent years, the report argues the People’s Liberation Army is moving beyond demonstrations and beginning to integrate these systems into coordinated battlefield units designed to operate at scale — particularly in high-risk scenarios such as the opening phase of a Taiwan invasion.CHINA LAUNCHES CENTER TO TRAIN 100-PLUS HUMANOID ROBOTS SIMULTANEOUSLY FDD report warns China is preparing to reimagine warfare with its 'robot wolf.'

Innovation will provide solutions to Long COVID — the new chronic disease of our time

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Long COVID is a serious, growing public health crisis. Though estimates vary, as many as 18 million Americans may be affected. This is why it continues to capture the attention of Senator Todd Young, who asked Secretary Kennedy to prioritize Long Covid research in his confirmation hearing last year. This week, the Senator had the opportunity to follow up with the Secretary at this year’s budget hearing, who reported on the Department’s efforts to identify biomarkers and committed to continuing the effort. This is welcome news. For most of us, the COVID-19 pandemic is a distant, though searing memory. However, too many Americans are still experiencing the pandemic as a daily reality, suffering from what is now known as Long COVID. In 2026, three years after the end of the Public Health Emergency, Long COVID patients report a wide variety of symptoms, which include significant cognitive dysfunction, extreme fatigue, post exertional exhaustion, autonomic dysfunction, cardiovascular conditions, blood vessel pathology, air hunger, intravascular micro-coagulation, tinnitus, and other neurological symptoms. Unfortunately, there is no molecular diagnostic test, no detailed elucidation of the pathogenesis of the disease, and no definitive therapy. I devoted my medical
