(CNN) — Six years of  Donald Trump’s federal tax returns  released on Friday show the former president paid very little in federal income taxes the first and last year of his presidency, claiming huge losses that helped limit his tax bill, among other revelations. The returns, long shrouded in secrecy, were released to the  public on Friday  by the House Ways and Means Committee, the culmination of a  battle over their disclosure  that went to the Supreme Court. They confirm a report issued from the Joint Committee on Taxation that Trump claimed large losses before and throughout his presidency that he carried forward to reduce or practically eliminate his tax burden. For example, his returns show that he carried forward a $105 million loss in 2015 and $73 million in 2016.

(CNN) — Ask Southwest Airlines employees about their company’s technology, and one word keeps coming up: “antiquated.” While Southwest grew from a scrappy, Texas-based discount airline operating three planes into one of the nation’s largest — union officials representing Southwest workers say the company did not keep pace with technology changes. And they say they’ve been raising concerns for years. “We’ve been harping on them since 2015-ish every year,” Mike Santoro, a captain and vice president of the Southwest Airlines Pilots Association, told CNN. The result: A massive Christmas travel meltdown that scuttled holiday plans for hundreds of thousands of passengers. Nearly 16,000 flights canceled. Orphaned baggage piling up at airports and travelers told to give a shipping address.

MIDDLEBURY, Vermont ( WPTZ ) — Days after violent wind gusts damaged property and knocked down trees across Vermont, a nonprofit animal sanctuary in Addison County is in recovery mode. Kinder Way Farm Sanctuary in Middlebury is home to animals including a blind goat and a cow with dwarfism. At the sanctuary, farm animals get a second chance after neglect or abandonment — or maybe their caring owners just couldn’t keep them any longer. Right before Christmas, the animals endured vicious winds that lashed Addison County, shredding structures and fencing at the sanctuary. The winds also tore the top off a yurt founders Erika and Mark Gutel would rent out to support the operation. “It just sounded like a freight train outside the door, all night,” Erika Gutel recalled. Some of those gusts were so powerful they actually picked up the animals’ shelters and blew them clear across the street. Some of the pieces are now scattered in a field at the neighbor’s place. The couple’s home was sp

(CNN) — The winter storm death toll has risen to 37 in Erie County, New York, as crews continue to clear roads and first responders check on people they couldn’t reach days ago when the catastrophic weather system swept the nation, officials there said Wednesday. At least 25 others across 11 US states also have been reported dead in the storm, which buried the city of Buffalo in nearly 52 inches of snow, trapping residents in western New York at home — many without heat as the Christmas weekend blizzard took out power lines. “It’s a horrible storm with too many deaths,” Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz said at a news conference as he praised first responders, without whom “more people would have died.” Now, authorities are going door-to-door to conduct wellness checks, Poloncarz said: An EMS task force is checking locations of emergency calls that authorities could not reach during the storm, while the National Guard will spend the next couple days checking every house in neighb

Citing sources familiar with the deal, ESPN’s Jeff Passan said on Wednesday that Kluber and Boston reached an agreement on a one-year contract, with a club option for 2024. https://twitter.com/JeffPassan/status/1608150888060784643 Currently residing in Winchester, Mass., the two-time AL Cy Young Award Winner will join Boston after a season with the Tampa Bay Rays, where he went 10-10 in 2022 with a 4.34 ERA.

He now comes to the Red Sox following the departures of both Nathan Eovaldi, who joined the Rangers on a multiyear d

(CNN) — Jeremiah Green, the drummer for the band Modest Mouse, is currently being treated for cancer. The band’s frontman Isaac Brock asked people for support on Modest Mouse’s official  Instagram  on Wednesday, writing, “Some of you may have already heard, but I figured it would be good to hear the news directly from our camp. Jeremiah was diagnosed with cancer a short while ago, and he’s currently in treatment. It seems to be going smoothly and making a positive difference. Jeremiah, as am I, are believers in the power of positive energy, so if you would be so kind as to send “good vibes”( to quote Jeremiah) in the direction of Jeremiah and his family, that’d be great.” Brock did not specify what kind of cancer Green has been diagnosed with. While undergoing treatment, Green has paused touring with the band, which recently wrapped their “Lonesome Crowded West” tour. They are scheduled to continue performances in Mexico City in March. Radio DJ Marco Green took to Twitter to say: “

A Brockton woman who claimed she killed her two children as part of a ritual in 2018 will spend the rest of her life behind bars. Latarsha Sanders was found guilty on two counts of first degree murder and another count of witness intimidation before a judge sentenced to her a mandatory life sentence on Wednesday. Prosecutors had said Sanders fatally stabbed 8-year-old Edson “Marlon” Brito and 5-year-old La’son Brito in their apartment back in February 2018. Officials found both victims dead in two separate rooms in Sanders’ third floor apartment home, with the oldest child having been stabbed at least 50 times. Sanders initially told police the killings were part of a ritualistic incident, but prosecutors later said she may have done it for money and potential notoriety . Reports noted that the mother had also appeared to clean up the children after the stabbings and placed her sons in beds, while also mopping

(CNN) — The Biden administration on Wednesday renewed  its commitment to secure the release  of American Paul Whelan  on the fourth anniversary of his wrongful detention in Russia , as Whelan’s family expressed hope that he would not mark yet another milestone in Russian prison. “Today marks four years that Paul Whelan has spent wrongfully detained, away from his family, suffering through an unfathomable ordeal,” US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement. “His detention remains unacceptable, and we continue to press for his immediate release at every opportunity.” President Joe Biden’s national security adviser Jake Sullivan echoed that message, saying, “as the President and I have told the Whelan family, we will not stop, we will not relent, we will not cease until all Americans can celebrate Paul’s return.” Whelan was arrested in Moscow in December 2018 on espionage charges he has vehemently den
