A new policy on access at the Pentagon has journalists and the Trump administration at odds

New rules that limit the access of journalists in the Pentagon and appear to condition entry into the building on agreement to restrictions have led to a standoff between the press and the Trump administration's defense department. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's team characterizes it as an effort to protect national security, but journalists see it as an effort to exert control and avoid embarrassing stories. The new policy says defense department information "must be approved for public release by appropriate officials, even if unclassified. Classified material faces even tighter restrictions.

Saint Laurent blooms with oversized drama, ’80s power and Madonna in Paris show

PARIS (AP) — Anthony Vaccarello has brought drama to Saint Laurent's show at Paris Fashion Week. On Monday night, he used gigantic white flowers as a cinematic backdrop, contrasting with bold and extravagant clothing. Floor-sweeping gowns with frills evoked 1970s archival pieces and petals at twilight. The designer's love for oversized elements reached new heights, with giant bow collars and exaggerated power shoulders reminiscent of the early ’80s. Sheeny trench coats clung lean and skeletal. Vaccarello mined Saint Laurent’s heritage but stripped it of nostalgia, letting the silhouette itself speak. It was pure theater, showcasing style as discourse.

Trump takes his tariff war to the movies announcing 100% levies on foreign-made films

President Donald Trump is slapping a 100% tax on movies made outside the United States – a vague directive aimed at protecting a business that America already dominates. Claiming that movie production “has been stolen’’ from Hollywood and the U.S., Trump posted said he would be imposed the 100% tariff on “any and all movies” made outside of the U.S. The president first issued the threat back in May.
