WASHINGTON, DC — PresidentDonald Trumphas called for the Pentagon's budget to be increased by more than 50%, from the$901 billion approved by Congressfor 2026 to $1.5 trillion in 2027, saying the financial boost would allow the United States to build its "dream military."

In aJan. 7 post on Truth Social,Trump said he will ask Congress to increase the Defense Department's budget next fiscal year and made the decision on 2027 spending "after long and difficult negotiations with Senators, Congressmen, Secretaries, and other Political Representatives... especially in these very troubled and dangerous times."

"Our Military Budget for the year 2027 should not be $1 Trillion Dollars, but rather $1.5 Trillion Dollars," Trump wrote. "This will allow us to build the 'Dream Military' that we have long been entitled to and, more importantly, that will keep us SAFE and SECURE, regardless of foe."

"I would stay at the $1 Trillion Dollar number but, because of Tariffs, and the tremendous Income that they bring," he added. "We are able to easily hit the $1.5 Trillion Dollar number."

Any such increase in the military budget would require congressional authorization. But Republicans, who hold slim majorities in both the Senate and House of Representatives, have shown little appetite for objecting to any such spending programs.

'No support' for military action:Republicans skeptical Trump will use military action against Greenland

Taxpayers for Common Sense, a nonpartisan federal budget watchdog based in Washington, D.C., said Trump's proposed budget "must be rejected."

"President Trump's proposal to explode the Pentagon budget with a 50 percent hike next year is as wasteful as it sounds," Steve Ellis, president of Taxpayers for Common Sense, said in a statement. "Congress is already poised to approve a 13% increase in Pentagon spending this year. We're over $38 trillion in debt. We have real needs, at home and abroad, none of which will be easier to meet by hitting the gas pedal on the debt crisis."

"The president says this enormous increase would be offset by tariff revenue. Besides the fact that the math doesn't add up, he has also promised that revenue to reduce the deficit, send $2000 checks to citizens, bailout farmers impacted by the trade war, and the list goes on," Ellis continued. "This increase cannot happen. It must not happen. Congress must repudiate this nonsense."

Jan 7 (Reuters) - A Texas judge on Wednesday denied a motion for a mistrial in the case of a police officer accused of endangering children with a ​failed response to the 2022 shooting at a Texas elementary school that killed 19 students ‌and two teachers.

Judge Sid Harle ruled against the mistrial request made by defense lawyers for Adrian Gonzales. The lawyers sought a ‌mistrial the day after testimony began with a witness offering details not previously shared with the defense. Defense lawyers said this violated laws that the prosecution share evidence with the defense.

Harle said inclusion of the testimony appeared to have been inadvertent, and that the trial would resume with the jury on Thursday ⁠morning.

Gonzales, 52, a former Uvalde school ‌district police officer, was charged in 2024 with 29 child endangerment counts stemming from how he responded during one of the deadliest school shootings in U.S. ‍history. According to his indictment, he failed to confront the shooter at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde.

Gonzales pleaded not guilty. His defense attorneys, in their opening statement on Tuesday, argued that he did the best he could in a chaotic ​scene in which it was difficult to confront a gunman he could not see or otherwise ‌locate.

The defense request for a mistrial came after Stephanie Hale, who was a third grade teacher at the school, testified on Tuesday that she saw the gunman on the south side of the school. Hale had never told investigators or a grand jury that she had seen the gunman, but said in court that she had shared that information with prosecutors. The defense said they never received ⁠those details from the prosecutors.

The defense said the information was ​critical to their trial strategy. They are arguing that Gonzales ​never saw the gunman and could not confront him, because Gonzales was on the south side of the school, while they argue the gunman remained on the ‍west side of the school ⁠before he entered the building - out of Gonzales' eyesight. Hale's surprise testimony contradicted that.

Judge Harle said to remedy the situation, he would allow the defense to play for the jury ⁠the entirety of Hale's interview with investigators just a few days after the shooting, in which she never mentioned seeing ‌the gunman, who was later shot and killed by responding officers.

California will lose $160 million for delaying the revocations of 17,000commercial driver's licensesfor immigrants, federal transportation officials announced Wednesday.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy alreadywithheld $40 millionin federal funding because he said California isn't enforcing English proficiency requirements for truckers.

The state notified these drivers in the fall that they would lose their licenses after a federal audit found problems that included licenses for truckers and bus drivers that remained valid long after an immigrant's visa expired. Some licenses were also given to citizens of Mexico and Canada who don't qualify. More than one-quarter of the small sample of California licenses that investigators reviewed were unlawful.

But then last week California said it would delay those revocations until March afterimmigrant groups suedthe state because of concerns that some groups were being unfairly targeted. Duffy said the state was supposed to revoke those licenses by Monday.

Duffyis pressuring Californiaand other states to make sure immigrants who are in the country illegally aren't granted the licenses.

"Our demands were simple: follow the rules, revoke the unlawfully-issued licenses to dangerous foreign drivers, and fix the system so this never happens again," Duffy said in a statement. "(Gov.) Gavin Newsom has failed to do so — putting the needs of illegal immigrants over the safety of the American people."

California DMV spokesperson Eva Spiegel said the state complies with all regulations and had positive conversations with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration officials about delaying the revocations to allow time for the federal agency to complete its review if the state's commercial driver's license program.

"We strongly disagree with the federal government's decision to withhold vital transportation funding from California — their action jeopardizes public safety because these funds are critical for maintaining and improving the roadways we all rely on every day," Spiegel said.

But in the official letter the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration sent Wednesday, federal officials said they never agreed to the delay after the state suggested it and still expected the 17,000 licenses to be revoked by this week.

Enforcement ramped up after fatal crashes

The federal governmentbegan cracking downduring the summer. The issue became prominent after a truck driver who was not authorized to be in the U.S. made an illegal U-turn and caused a crash in Floridathat killed three peoplein August.

Duffy previously threatened to withhold millions of dollars in federal funding fromCalifornia,Pennsylvania,Minnesota,New York,Texas, South Dakota, Colorado, and Washington after audits found significant problems under the existing rules, including commercial licenses being valid long after an immigrant truck driver's work permit expired. He had dropped the threat to withhold nearly $160 million from California after the state said it would revoke the licenses.

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Administrator Derek Barrs said California failed to live up to the promise it made in November to revoke all the flawed licenses by Jan. 5. The agency said the state also unilaterally decide to delay until March the cancellations of roughly 4,700 additional unlawful licenses that were discovered after the initial ones were found.

"We will not accept a corrective plan that knowingly leaves thousands of drivers holding noncompliant licenses behind the wheel of 80,000-pound trucks in open defiance of federal safety regulations," Barrs said.

Industry praises the enforcement

Trucking trade groups have praised the effort to get unqualified drivers who shouldn't have licenses orcan't speak Englishoff the road. They also applauded the Transportation Department's moves to go afterquestionable commercial driver's license schools.

"For too long, loopholes in this program have allowed unqualified drivers onto our highways, putting professional truckers and the motoring public at risk," said Todd Spencer, president of the Owner Operator Independent Drivers Association.

The spotlight has been on Sikh truckers because the driver in the Florida crash and the driver inanother fatal crashin California in October are both Sikhs. So the Sikh Coalition, a national group defending the civil rights of Sikhs, and the San Francisco-based Asian Law Caucusfiled a class-action lawsuiton behalf of the California drivers. They said immigrant truck drivers were beingunfairly targeted.

Immigrants account for about 20% of all truck drivers, but these non-domiciled licenses immigrants can receive only represent about 5% of all commercial driver's licenses or about 200,000 drivers. The Transportation Department alsoproposed new restrictionsthat would severely limit which noncitizens could get a license, but a courtput the new rules on hold.

In terms of how many teams can feasibly win the Super Bowl, this could be the deepest NFL playoff field we've ever seen.

Part of that is the lack of a truly transcendent team. But it's unique to see a 14-team field in which a reasonable case can be made for 12 of the teams making or even winning the Super Bowl (yeah, there are two teams in which it would take a miracle). The Los Angeles Chargers are probably the strongest No. 7 seed we have ever seen in the current 14-team format, unless it's the Green Bay Packers over in the NFC.

You can pick just aboutany combination of teams from each side of the bracket to face off in Super Bowl LXand it wouldn't sound wild. Here are the power rankings as we start the playoffs, from least likely to most likely to win the Super Bowl:

14. Carolina Panthers

If the Panthers make the Super Bowl, they'd be the weakest team ever to get in. By a mile. Congratulations to the Panthers for making it in the field, but they're an 8-9 team that would be big underdogs in any remaining game they'd play. They have a -69 point differential, the fourth-worst for a playoff team in NFL history,according to NFL researcher Tony Holzman-Escareno. They do have wins over the Packers and Rams, so maybe there's a tiny bit of hope for an upset win, but it's obvious which team ranks last on this list.

13. Pittsburgh Steelers

The Steelers have a better shot than the Panthers to make a Super Bowl, but that doesn't mean it's a good shot. Their offense is limited and the defense has taken a step back from previous years. The Steelers won 10 games, somehow, but with an offense that finished 25th in yards gained and a defense that finished 26th in yards allowed. It's a cool story for Aaron Rodgers to make it back to the playoffs, and would be amazing if he reached the Super Bowl, but we can safely cross the Steelers off the list.

12. San Francisco 49ers

Heading into Week 18, the 49ers needed one win to get the No. 1 seed in the NFC. Would it be that unbelievable for the offense to heat up again, after a bad finale against the Seahawks, and make a deep playoff run? Any offense that averaged 42.3 points in December is capable. The reason the 49ers rank this low is because their defense, which already was without Fred Warner and Nick Bosa and just lost Warner's replacement Tatum Bethune, probably isn't good enough to win three straight road games. They finished 27th indefensive DVOA. But it says something about the depth of the field that the 49ers rank 12th and still have a feasible chance to win it all.

11. Green Bay Packers

The Packers' story is similar to the 49ers' story. If they were healthy, they might be No. 1 on this list. But they're not. They're without linemen Micah Parsons and Devonte Wyatt on defense and tight end Tucker Kraft on offense, among others. That's a reason they lost four in a row to finish the season. There's some nuance to that losing streak — a Week 16 loss to the Bears was very fluky and Green Bay rested starters in Week 18 — but this team's ceiling has gotten much lower, especially after the Parsons injury. But for a No. 7 seed they have a decent argument to make a run and win the NFC, a much better case than practically any No. 7 seed before them (other than perhaps the Green Bay team in 2023 that throttled Dallas in the wild-card round).

10. Los Angeles Chargers

Usually the No. 7 seeds have been happy to be in the playoffs, and then are predictably blown out in their postseason opener. The Chargers are not that team. Los Angeles was 11-5 before resting starters in Week 18, and still almost beat a Broncos team chasing the No. 1 seed in the AFC. A great head coach/QB combo can go a long way, and the Chargers have that with Jim Harbaugh and Justin Herbert. L.A.'s defense, led by coordinator andtop head-coaching candidate Jesse Minter,was top five in yards allowed and has given up more than 20 points in a game just once since Oct. 19. The flaw is the offensive line, which lost both standout tackles to season-ending injuries. If the Chargers were healthy this might be the unquestioned top team in the NFL because everything else is impressive.

9. Chicago Bears

The Bears have had a bit of a weird season. Until a Black Friday game, they were living off close wins against bad teams. They blew out the Eagles the day after Thanksgiving and played better for a few weeks. Then down the stretch they had a miracle win against the Packers, lost to the 49ers and then lost at home to the Lions after Detroit had been eliminated from the playoffs. They have had a fine season, getting the No. 2 seed. Their inconsistency is a reason they're not higher on the list. They're probably one good offseason away from being a more reliable pick.

8. Philadelphia Eagles

It's hard to shake the idea of the Eagles making a run. The talent is still impressive. We remember how good they were last season and particularly in the Super Bowl win over the Chiefs. Yet the offense has been maddening most of the season. The last time we saw the starting offense, it had 16 yards and no completions as it barely held on to a win over the Bills in Week 17. It is hard to buy the Eagles' offense playing well enough for four weeks in a row to repeat as Super Bowl champions. The Eagles were 23rd in passing yards and 18th in rushing yards; last season's team did everything at an efficient level on offense and this season's unit does nothing well. Still, look at the roster. You can't count the Eagles out, especially with their stellar defense.

7. Buffalo Bills

The quarterback-centric crowd will all pick the Bills to win the AFC. That's fine. Josh Allen is fantastic. But the Bills also have blowout losses to the Falcons and Dolphins on their résumé. The run defense is bad, allowing 5.1 yards per carry this season. There's no alpha playmaker in the passing game. Their leading receiver was Khalil Shakir, with 719 yards. There are some things to like, such as a solid pass defense and NFL rushing champion James Cook, but picking the Bills to win it all is a pick on Allen putting the team on his back for a month. Which can happen.

6. Houston Texans

The people picking the Bills to make the Super Bowl might have missed the Thursday night game in Week 12. The Texans destroyed the Bills' offense in a 23-19 win. Houston sacked Josh Allen eight times. Seattle and Denver could argue, but this is the best defense in the NFL. The offense isn't great, but with some help from key rookies in the second half, it did improve. And C.J. Stroud is a good quarterback, albeit one without much help. Also, Houston has a much easier matchup than the Bills or any other AFC team playing on wild-card weekend, as it faces a mediocre Pittsburgh team. In a wide-open AFC, the team with a great defense and an NFL-best nine-game winning streak is as good of a pick as any.

5. Jacksonville Jaguars

Maybe the Jaguars should be higher. Trevor Lawrence had his best season, accounting for 38 touchdowns. The Jagurars' defense ranked 11th in yards allowed and eighth in points allowed. Jacksonville was sixth indefensive DVOA, thanks in large part to 31 takeaways, which was second-best in the NFL. The Jaguars were fifth in EPA (expected points added) per play allowed as well. Jacksonville has won eight in a row, and somehow is still an underdog in its playoff opener against Buffalo. Make no mistake: The Jaguars can win it all.

4. New England Patriots

If you've paid even the slightest bit of attention to the MVP debate, you know the Patriots had a very easy schedule. They beat one team that finished above .500, knocking off the Bills in Week 5. It ranked as the third-easiest schedule since 1978,according to DVOA. Here's the thing: The two teams that faced an easier schedule, the 1991 Bills and 1999 Rams, both made the Super Bowl. This isn't college football in which every conference has a gimme or two; going 14-3 against NFL competition is hard. It's OK to question the Patriots, but they have an MVP candidate quarterback in Drake Maye and a Coach of the Year candidate in Mike Vrabel. There isn't a team in the field they can't beat, even if they didn't stack many quality wins during the regular season.

3. Los Angeles Rams

Many will be picking the Rams to win the Super Bowl. Getting the No. 5 seed and a matchup against the Panthers, the weakest team by far in the playoff field, certainly helps. The Rams are a very good team that didn't play its best late, but Sean McVay should be able to fix whatever issues there were over the past three weeks when Los Angeles lost twice. Matthew Stafford is the probable NFL MVP, though Drake Maye could win it instead in a close vote. There's no reason to believe the Rams can't win the Super Bowl, though the likely path of three road wins in a row won't be easy to navigate. That's why they didn't crack the top two.

2. Denver Broncos

Maybe you don't like the Broncos this season. Understandable. They had a ridiculous 11 wins by eight or fewer points. The offense has some remarkably bad performances. But this is a 14-3 team that is two home wins from a Super Bowl. The advantage of having a bye can't be overstated. Since the NFL changed the playoff format to give only one team in each conference a bye, five of 10 No. 1 seeds have made a Super Bowl. Over the past three seasons it's four of six. There's a massive edge having to win only two playoff games instead of three, as everyone else in the AFC has to do. Even if you believe the Broncos aren't the best team in the AFC, it's impossible to deny they have the easiest path to the Super Bowl.

1. Seattle Seahawks

TheSeahawks were the NFL's best team in the regular seasonand it's hard to debate otherwise. Now a defense that was arguably the best in the NFL this season and had an unbelievable performance in Week 18 against the 49ers needs just two home wins to reach the Super Bowl. The stumbling block will be Sam Darnold, who needs to prove he can play well on a big stage. But Darnold's teams are 28-6 over the past two seasons and he's a big part of that success. He has been good for Seattle most of this season. And the Seahawks don't need him to carry the load, they just need him to get the ball to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, avoid mistakes and let a fantastic defense do the rest. There are plenty of good options for your Super Bowl pick this season, but Seattle is your most likely champion.

CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Cubs added Edward Cabrera to their rotation on Wednesday, acquiring the right-hander in a trade with the Miami Marlins in their first major offseason move.

Chicago sent outfielder Owen Caissie and infield prospects Cristian Hernandez and Edgardo De Leon to Miami for Cabrera, who went 8-7 with a 3.53 ERA in a career-high 26 starts and 137 2/3 innings last year.

Caissie, 23, could compete for a starting job with the Marlins after making his major league debut in August. Caissie, a second-round pick in the 2020 amateur draft, hit .192 in 12 games with the Cubs, but he batted .286 with 22 homers and 55 RBIs with Triple-A Iowa last season.

Cabrera is eligible for arbitration and cannot become a free agent until after the 2028 season.

The Cubs finished second in the NL Central last year with a 92-70 record. They made it to the playoffs for the first time since 2020 before they were eliminated by Milwaukee in a five-game NL Division Series.

Cabrera, who turns 28 in April, joins a deep rotation that also includes Matthew Boyd, Shota Imanaga, Cade Horton and Jameson Taillon. Colin Rea and Javier Assad are two more starting options, and Justin Steele is coming back fromleft elbow surgeryon April 18.

The 6-foot-5 Cabrera made his major league debut with Miami in 2021. He is 25-29 with a 4.07 ERA in 87 career starts and two relief appearances.

Cabrera arrives in Chicago with some injury concerns, including recurring blisters on his right middle finger. He also was placed on the 15-day injured list on Sept. 1 witha right elbow sprain. He returned on Sept. 23 and pitched five shutout innings against the New York Mets in his final start of the season on Sept. 28.

While the addition of Cabrera strengthens Chicago's rotation, Caissie was expected to compete for time in right field. Kyle Tucker is expected to leave the Cubs in free agency.

Miami went 79-83 in its first season under manager Clayton McCullough, a 17-game improvement from its last-place finish in 2024. Sandy Alcantara and Eury Pérez lead the team's rotation.

Hernandez, 22, batted .252 with seven homers and 53 RBIs for High A South Bend last year. De Leon, 18, played for the Cubs' team in the Arizona Complex League in 2025, hitting .276 with five homers and 15 RBIs in 43 games.

Also Wednesday, the Cubs claimed left-hander Ryan Rolison off waivers from the Chicago White Sox. Rolison made his big league debut with Colorado in May.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Pro Bowl left tackle Trent Williams and receiver Ricky Pearsall both missed practice Wednesday for the San Francisco 49ers, putting their status for thewild-card playoffgameagainst the Philadelphia Eaglesin question.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Williams' hamstring that he hurt on the first snap of a Week 17 game is still bothering him and that Pearsall had aggravated a knee injury that game and was unable to practice.

He expressed hope they could return to the field Thursday, but didn't rule out them playing in the playoff game Sunday even if they can't practice this week.

"I don't have any rule with that in the regular season either," Shanahan said. "It just usually depends on the guy and whether they've done it before, what the history is of the player and stuff like that. But whatever gives us best chance to win on Sunday we will without a doubt do."

The San Francisco offense struggled last week against Seattle's stout defense without Williams and Pearsall as the running game never got going and there were few open receivers downfield.

The Niners have averaged just 2.8 yards per carry running to the left side since Williams got hurt on the opening snap of the win against Chicago on Dec. 28.

Pearsall leads San Francisco with eight catches on throws at least 20 yards downfield. Quarterback Brock Purdy didn't attempt a single deep pass last week in his absence.

The 49ers also were without linebacker Dee Winters (ankle) and defensive lineman Keion White (groin, hamstring) for practice on Wednesday and also placed linebacker Tatum Bethune on injured reserve with a groin injury.

San Francisco signed linebacker Eric Kendricks from the practice squad to take Bethune's spot on the roster and plan to start him on Sunday.

Kendricks was signed to the practice squad in late November and played 46 snaps on defense the past three games after being promoted each week to the game day roster. The 33-year-old Kendricks has started 143 regular-season games and six playoff games since entering the league with Minnesota in 2015.

The Niners also signed veteran linebacker Kyzir White to the practice squad and he could be an option as well this week after playing only one game all season back in September for Tennessee. The 29-year-old White has started 73 games over his eight-year career.

"I've always had a lot of respect for his game," Shanahan said. "I played him at a number of different places, a number different teams. ... He's a very smart, instinctual linebacker that no matter what scheme he was in."

The 49ers also opened the practice window for receiver Jacob Cowing, who has been out since injuring his hamstring in training camp. Shanahan said Cowing wasn't an option to play this week.

Tight end George Kittle (ankle), defensive lineman Yetur Gross-Matos (knee) and linebacker Luke Gifford (quadriceps) were all limited.

Nick Reiner's arraignment was postponed again Wednesday in the murders of his parents, filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer Reiner, after his attorney, Alan Jackson, withdrew from the case. The arraignment hearing is now scheduled for Feb. 23.

The Los Angeles County Public Defender's Office will take over for Jackson and his co-counsel, both of whom stepped down. Deputy Public Defender Kimberly Greene will represent Nick Reiner, who will remain in custody until the new hearing date. He is being held without bail.

At a news conference after the hearing concluded, Jackson said his team's withdrawal was due to "circumstances beyond our control, but more importantly, circumstances beyond Nick's control," which "have dictated that, sadly, it's impossible for us to continue our representation." Jackson did not provide details and said he was "legally and ethically prohibited from explaining the reasons why."

Jackson emphasized that his team remained "deeply committed to Nick Reiner and to his best interests."

Greene declined to answer questions from reporters who asked how Reiner intends to plead, saying they only spoke briefly in court. The public defender added that her office has not had contact with the Reiner family, and the family may not have been "aware of what's going on."

A spokesperson for the family said they "have the utmost trust in the legal process and will not comment further on matters related to the legal proceedings."

Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said the prosecution would make sure Nick Reiner's defense gets what they need to represent him, and he is "fully confident a jury will find Nick Reiner guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of the murder of his parents."

Reiner, 32, is charged with two counts of first-degree murder with special circumstances after prosecutors said the couplewere stabbed to deathon Dec. 14 in their home in the upscale Brentwood neighborhood. The L.A. County medical examinersaidthey died from "multiple sharp force injuries."

If convicted as charged, Nick Reiner could face a maximum sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole, or the death penalty, but Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said his office hasn't decided which to pursue.

A December arraignment waspostponedafter Reiner appeared in court wearing a suicide prevention smock and shackles. Jackson had said at the time, "There are very, very complex and serious issues that are associated with this case," adding that those issues needed to be "thoroughly but very carefully dealt with and examined and looked at and analyzed."

Since the deaths of the couple, details have emerged about Nick Reiner's struggles with addiction. In 2018, hesharedstories on a podcast about how his drug use while traveling cross-country landed him in a hospital, and another about punching walls and destroying a TV after his parents told him he had to leave their guesthouse.

CBS News obtained police records for service calls at the Reiners' Los Angeles home from August 2013 through December. Over those 12 years, the LAPD responded to the address a total of seven times, including twice on the day the Reiners were found dead.

In 2019, police responded once for a welfare check and again for a mental health call for a male. Records did not indicate who the officers made contact with. The remaining three calls were related to minor disturbances in 2013, 2014 and 2017.

The bodies of the Reiners were found in their home on the afternoon of Dec. 14. Several hours later, Nick Reiner wasarrestedoutside a gas station convenience store in South L.A. He did not resist arrest, according to police.

Rob and Michele Reiner married in 1989 and had three children together. Their other two children,Jake and Romy Reiner, said in a statement last month that they were experiencing "unimaginable pain" after the loss of their parents.

"They weren't just our parents; they were our best friends," they said.
