Organizers are planning what they anticipate will be the largest "No Kings" protests yet, targeting what they call authoritarianism under President Donald Trump. Scheduled for March 28, the demonstrations will focus on the immigration crackdown in Minneapolis, where recent clashes have resulted in deaths. Ezra Levin from Indivisible predicts up to 9 million participants. This will be the third "No Kings" event, following protests last year against Trump's policies. Organizers emphasize nonviolent resistance and ongoing training to defend constitutional rights. They stress that the movement is about preserving democracy, not partisan politics.

Being a night owl can be bad for your heart. That's according to a study showing night owls had poorer overall cardiovascular health than most people, plus a modestly higher risk of a first heart attack or stroke. Unhealthy behaviors like too little sleep, smoking and a poor diet were key reasons. The body's circadian rhythm, or internal clock, governs when people feel sleepy and awake. Researchers say night owls will have to work harder on healthy behaviors like getting enough sleep in a morning person's world — but the health advice is good for everyone.

A South Korean court has sentenced former first lady Kim Keon Hee to 20 months in prison for corruption. The sentencing Wednesday in Seoul Central District Court came about three weeks ahead of a verdict on against Yoon for disgraced former President Yoon Suk Yeol. He faces a rebellion charge over his martial law imposition a year ago. Investigators say Kim wasn’t involved in Yoon’s martial law enforcement. Kim was sentenced for receiving bribes from the Unification Church in return for business favors. Kim's defense team says the 20-month prison term is relatively high. The defense attorneys say they will discuss whether to appeal.

Iranian officials have reached out to the Middle East as fears grow  of a possible U.S. military strike. Saudi Arabia and the UAE have said they won't allow their airspace to be used for attacks. The U.S. has moved military assets into the region, but it's unclear what President Trump will decide. Protests in Iran have led to a violent crackdown, with over 6,000 people reportedly killed. Iran's state media calls protesters "terrorists," and internet access has been cut off. Diplomacy efforts are ongoing, with calls between Iran and Arab nations to prevent further instability.

U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer visits Beijing for a four-day visit to China aimed at repairing ties and expanding opportunities for British businesses in the world’s second-largest economy. He is the first British leader to come to Beijing since Theresa May in 2018. The relationship has deteriorated in recent years over growing concern about Chinese spying and surveillance, China’s support for Russia in the Ukraine war and Beijing’s crackdown on civil liberties in Hong Kong, the former British colony.

A man has sprayed an unknown substance on U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar before being tackled to the ground during a town hall she was hosting. The incident took place in Minneapolis, where tensions over federal immigration enforcement have come to a head after agents fatally shot an intensive care nurse and a mother of three this month. The audience cheered as the man was pinned down and his arms were tied behind his back. In video of the incident, someone in the crowd can be heard saying, “Oh my god, he sprayed something on her.” Omar continued the town hall after he was ushered out of the room.

The European Union and India have reached a free trade agreement to deepen economic and strategic ties after nearly two decades of negotiations. The agreement announced Tuesday reflects a new priority for the 27-nation EU, the world’s largest trading bloc, after the Trump administration threatened to impose tariffs because of opposition to American control of Greenland. It comes as many European leaders are calling for limiting the old consensus with Washington in favor of new partnerships across the globe. The accord could affect as many as 2 billion people and will see free trade on almost all goods between the EU’s 27 members and India.

When the Supreme Court granted an unusually quick hearing over President Donald Trump’s tariffs, a similarly fast resolution seemed possible. After all, Trump’s lawyers told the court speed was of the essence on an issue that is central to the president’s economic agenda. But nearly three months have elapsed since arguments in the closely watched case and the court isn’t scheduled to meet in public for more than three weeks. No one knows for sure what is going on among the nine justices. But the timeline for deciding the tariffs case now looks more or less typical and could reflect the normal back-and-forth that occurs not just in the biggest cases, but almost all the disputes the justices hear.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio is expected to warn that the Trump administration is ready to take new military action against Venezuela if the country's interim leadership strays from U.S. expectations. Rubio will testify Wednesday before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. According to prepared testimony, Rubio plans to say the U.S. isn't at war with Venezuela but the Trump administration wouldn't rule out using additional force if needed following the ouster of former President Nicolás Maduro. Rubio will defend Trump’s decisions to remove Maduro, strike suspected drug boats and seize sanctioned tankers carrying Venezuelan oil. Democrats have condemned the actions as exceeding President Donald Trump's authority.

Patrick Kane of the Detroit Red Wings has tied Dallas’ Mike Modano as the highest-scoring U.S.-born players in NHL history. Kane matched Mike Modano by recording his 1,374th point on an assist on a goal by Alex DeBrincat late in Detroit’s 3-1 loss to the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday night. He got there a couple of months after turning 37, while Modano was 40 when he scored a goal to register point No. 1,374.

President Donald Trump is warning Iraqi officials that the U.S. would no longer support the country if its former prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki, returns to power. Trump made the threat on Tuesday, days after a dominant political bloc known as the Coordination Framework announced it had backed al-Maliki. Trump derided al-Maliki's previous stewardship of Iraq and warned the U.S. “will no longer help Iraq” if he returns to power. The United States has long viewed al-Maliki as being too close to Iran. Iraq held elections in November but its caretaker prime minister was unable to form a government. That cleared the field for al-Maliki.

Trey McKenney made a tiebreaking layup with 1:07 left and No. 3 Michigan rallied past No. 5 Nebraska 75-72 to hand the Cornhuskers their first loss this season. Morez Johnson Jr. had 17 points and 12 rebounds for the Wolverines, who trailed for 36-plus minutes before holding Nebraska scoreless over the final 3:20. Jamarques Lawrence missed a 3-pointer with 4 seconds remaining for the short-handed Cornhuskers, and Sam Hoiberg missed a jumper just before the buzzer. Nebraska had won 24 straight games dating to last season, including four victories in the inaugural College Basketball Crown tournament at Las Vegas last April. That was the longest winning streak in Division I since the 2014-15 Kentucky team went 38-0 before losing to Wisconsin in the Final Four.

Southwest Airlines passengers are making their final boarding-time scrambles for seats as the carrier prepares to end its signature open-seating system. Customers on Southwest flights will have assigned seats starting on Tuesday. The airline began selling tickets shaped by the new policy in July. New airfare tiers include the option of paying more to get a preferred seat closer to the front of a plane or seats with extra legroom. An eight‑group boarding structure is replacing the find-your-own-seat scrum. Southwest says the boarding groups are based on seat location, fare class, loyalty tier status and benefits from the airline’s credit card rewards program.

A science-oriented advocacy group moved its “Doomsday Clock” to 85 seconds to midnight, saying the Earth is closer than ever to destruction. The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists on Tuesday cited threats from nuclear war, climate change, potential misuse of biotechnology and artificial intelligence. Last year, the clock advanced to 89 seconds to midnight. Since then, “global understandings are collapsing, accelerating a winner-takes-all great power competition and undermining the international cooperation” needed to reduce risks, the group said. The advocacy group began using a clock in 1947 to symbolize the potential and likelihood of people doing something to end humanity.

A federal judge has issued a temporary order barring the removal of a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father whose arrest last week in Minnesota became another lightning rod for divisions on immigration under the Trump administration. U.S. Judge Fred Biery ruled Monday that any removal or transfer of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father, Adrian Alexander Conejo Arias, is on hold while a court case proceeds. The father and son are now at family detention facility in Dilley, Texas, near San Antonio. They were taken into custody last week outside their home in Minnesota.
