Feb 8 (Reuters)—U.S. President Donald Trump criticized American Olympic skier Hunter Hess on Sunday, days after the athlete expressed mixed feelings about representing the U.S. at the Winter Olympics in northern Italy. “If that’s the case, he shouldn’t have tried out for the Team, and it’s too bad he’s on it,” Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social media platform, referencing Hess’ comments. “Very hard to root for someone like this.” Political tensions have surfaced at the Milano Cortina Olympics, including over the presence of personnel from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The agency has faced widespread protests across the U.S. after agents shot and killed two people in Minneapolis last month.

‘Melania’ sets the stage for the golden age of political storytelling. If “the medium is the message,” the documentary giving audiences an inside look at the first lady’s life in the 20 days leading up to the 47th presidential inauguration hits the mark on both. The film grossed over $7 million in it’s opening weekend, making it the highest grossing, non-music, documentary in a decade. Melania’s Philosophy The first lady takes the audience to a variety of design meetings including the making of her Oscar de la Renta inauguration gown, and the infamous flat brim black hat showing us her friendship with the designer Hervé Pierre. But ‘Melania’ gives viewers more than the moment Trump says yes to the dress. The first lady goes into detail about her education and experience in architecture, the textile industry, modeling, and design. “Melania” gives you a taste of the philosophy of visual aesthetics the first lady puts to use when decorating the White House or design choices for official events. That philosophy—sleek, graceful, bold but polite—also inspires her philanthropy. The documentary includes a meeting with Bridget Macron, the first lady of France, to discuss her anti-cyber bullying campaign called Be Best and a meeting with the Queen of Jordan to discuss her plans for her foster care philanthropy, Fostering the Future.   INTO LAW [New Bill]MELANIA TRUMP FOSTER YOUTH TO INDEPENDENCE INITIATIVEFLOTUS Melania Trump has secured $30 million to support foster youth aging out of the system – delivering essential resources that advance independence, stability, and well-being. pic.twitter.com/mq8gvUEWd1— First Lady Melania Trump (@FLOTUS) February 4, 2026 A Behind-the-Scenes Experience The film also offers some personal moments. Trump sings her favorite Michael Jackson song, “Billie Jean,” in the car. She takes us on a trip to Mar-a-Lago which she describes as “more than a home” it is full of “warmth, sunshine, family, and friends.”   Then, after all the inaugural balls, we see President Donald Trump and the first lady come back to the White House in the early morning hours. Melania invites the camera into the kitchen where Trump appears to get a Diet Coke from the fridge before getting straight to work.  According to Rotten Tomatoes, the documentary is a hit with the audience with a 99% audience approval. The movie critics, however, give a less than 10% approval on the Tomatometer. But from what you learn about her in the movie, you can’t help thinking that probably doesn’t bother Trump at all. Audience scores for Melania on Rotten Tomatoes are sky-high, but some questioned the legitimacy of that. Now Rotten Tomatoes is chiming in. https://t.co/Qtz7QA4yW8?: Brendan Smialowski/AFP via Getty Images pic.twitter.com/pbFAGLeR9k— Forbes (@Forbes) February 6, 2026 “I will continue to live with purpose and of course style,” Melania says proudly closing the film.

If you have been on Facebook and X for the last week, you more than likely have seen videos and photos of frozen iguanas in Florida.

Temperatures have plummeted below freezing in parts of Florida, the USA’s ‘sunshine state’. In Tampa Bay, snowflakes fell for the first time in well over a decade. But that’s not the strangest thing falling from the skies: thousands of cold-stunned green iguanas have been dropping onto streets, pavements and front gardens. Unable to generate their own body heat, green iguanas are dependent on warmth from outside. As soon as the thermometer drops below around 10 degrees Celsius, they become lethargic. Between around 4 and 7 degrees, the cold-blooded reptiles enter a stunned state of temporary, survival-mode paralysis. Some Floridians are eating the iguanas: Tastes so dam good .

The state wildlife agency announced this week that 5,195 cold-stunned iguanas were collected and brought to four designated FWC offices on Feb. 1 and Feb. 2 during South Florida’s period of record-setting cold temperatures. “The removal of over 5,000 of these nonnative lizards in such a short time span was only possible thanks to the coordinated efforts of many staff members in multiple FWC divisions and offices, our partners and, of course, the many residents that took the time to collect and turn in cold-stunned iguanas from their properties,” Roger Young, FWC’s executive director, said at a Feb. 4 meeting in Tallahassee. Special regulations under an executive order allowed people to remove live, cold-stunned iguanas from the wild without a permit for two days only, the FWC said in a news release. Of the 5,195 iguanas collected, 3,882 of them were amassed at the FWC’s office in Sunrise, about 13 miles west of Fort Lauderdale, the FWC said. Another 1,075 were collected at the FWC’s location in Tequesta, some 24 miles north of West Palm Beach. There were 215 iguanas collected at the drop-off location in the Florida Keys and 23 nabbed in Fort Myers on the Gulf Coast. FWC staff worked to coordinate the transfer of iguanas collected to permit holders, including for sale outside the state. Any of the reptiles that couldn’t be transferred to permit holders were humanely killed by trained staff, according to the FWC.

Several Illinois counties are exploring the possibility of adjusting the Iowa-Illinois border and potentially joining the Hawkeye State. There is currently a bill in the Iowa Legislature that proposes forming a committee to explore adjusting the boundary with Illinois. “A lot of stuff really does match Iowa more than Illinois,” said Earl Thompson, owner of Galena Roasters. Property taxes and representation in the state are two of the primary driving factors behind the boundary adjustment idea. Check it out: Not long ago, Illinoisans along the eastern border discussed annexing their towns into Indiana—now northwestern Illinoisans are considering the same move with Iowa. The reasoning behind the discussion—property taxes and representation in a gerrymandered Democrat state.… pic.twitter.com/JDsZ8E1UcK — Midwest Millennial (@MillennialVerse) February 7, 2026 More from Des Moines Register: A proposal from Rep. Taylor Collins, R-Mediapolis, House File 2141, would establish an “Iowa-Illinois boundary adjustment committee” to consider whether to move the dividing line between the two states by transferring one or more Illinois counties along the Iowa border to the Hawkeye State. Collins said the bill would primarily look at all counties that along the Mississippi River. “As somebody that represents really a district that’s right along the border and along the Mississippi River, I know many folks on both sides of the river, and I know there’s a lot of folks in the high-tax state of Illinois that’s now basically supporting career criminals,” Collins said. “They would love to be Iowa residents, and many of them have taken the steps to actually move to the state of Iowa.” If advanced, Iowa would follow in the footsteps of Indiana, where Gov. Mike Braun in 2025 signed a law creating a commission to explore the possibility of annexing parts of Illinois. That passed after more than 30 Illinois counties voted on nonbinding referendums to secede from the Democratic-led state of Illinois over differences in policy and political ideology with Chicago. Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, a Democrat eyeing a run for the White House in 2028, had called Indiana’s legislation a “stunt.” There was a similar proposal in the Iowa Legislature during the last legislative session to obtain nine southern Minnesota counties. However, the proposal never advanced past subcommittee.

Even if Iowa’s governor would sign it into law, Illinois lawmakers would still need to pass it.
