Trump’s New ICE Logo Gets A Not-So-‘NICE’ Reception Online
Donald Trump shared on his Truth Social platform Tuesday what appeared to be a mock logo for “National Immigration & Customs Enforcement” — or “NICE” — the trolling nickname he has recently used for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The logo features a bald eagle with its wings spread wide in gold, black and white tones. It clutches an olive branch in one talon and arrows in the other, with a stars-and-stripes shield across its chest, over the acronym and agency name.
The Department of Homeland Security later shared Trump’s post on X.
The White House account then amplified the post with a second image showing what appeared to be an embroidered-style patch version of the logo.
Critics from across the political spectrum slammed the post on X:

reMarkable Paper Pure Review 2026: The Best Distraction-Free Tablet For Work And Note-Taking
We hope you love the products we recommend! All of them were independently selected by our editors. Just so you know, HuffPost UK may collect a share of sales or other compensation from the links on this page if you decide to shop from them. Oh, and FYI — prices are accurate and items in stock as of time of publication.
I first got my hands on the reMarkable Paper Pro last year and it’s safe to say that I haven’t shut up about it since. Swapping to an e-ink tablet ended my years of lugging notebooks and half-finished diaries everywhere, and having my notes, calendars and to-do lists all in one place (without the risk of losing a sheet) turned out to be the answer to so many of my organisational issues. So naturally, when the Swedish tech firm invited me to roadtest their latest offering, I couldn’t have said yes faster.
Enter the reMarkable’s new entry-level tablet, the Paper Pure.
As with all of reMarkable’s products, the Paper Pure is essentially a digital writing tablet for reading documents and textbooks, sketching and note-taking that attempts to fully replicate paper writing. Unlike the slick, slippery glass of typical tablets, the display on the Paper Pure has a special surface that mimics paper, so every pen stroke has just the right amount of resistance, making writing, doodling, or annotating documents feel totally natural.
HOWEVER, while the new 10.3-inch black-and-white paper tablet still offers reMarkable’s renowned paper-like writing feel and workflow-focused features, it instead comes with a much lower price tag – and a whole whack of new upgrades.
What affords it a lower price tag you ask? Well, unlike the Pro, the Paper Pure is strictly black and white only (so no more colourful highlighter options) and there is no backlight. The pay off? reMarkable Paper Pro starts at £559, while the Paper Pure starts at £359. For many, that £200 saving is going to be the deciding factor.
“With reMarkable Paper Pure, we challenged ourselves to make the signature reMarkable writing experience more accessible to even more people,” said Mats Herding Solberg, Chief Design Officer at reMarkable. “Together with reMarkable Paper Pro and reMarkable Paper Pro Move, it completes our transition from reMarkable 2 to a family of third-generation paper tablets. Whether you want a colour display, frontlight, and all the other latest technology, or just an excellent digital notebook, there’s a reMarkable Paper tablet for you.
It’s a solid idea – I’ve recommended my Paper Pro to everyone, but the price tag does mean it’s not as simple as just casually popping out and buying one willy nilly. And after a month of road testing the Paper Pure myself, I can safely say that you’re not missing out by opting for this new, more bank account-friendly model.
Like its predecessors, the Paper Pure has 100s of templates you can use for each of your individual projects, as well as standard lined paper options and blank pages for scribbling. Everything can be tagged and organised into folders, making it easy to find everything (instead of wondering where the hell you left that post-it note in your kitchen).
You can cut, copy, and resize content effortlessly and even convert your handwritten notes to typed text. If I don’t manage to get something done on my to-do list, I can simply circle it, cut it and paste it onto the next day within seconds. Instead of scrambling through my bag looking for my paper diary, I can switch between my to-do list, my diary and whatever notebook I’m working on seamlessly.
However, for me, the upgrades are where the Paper Pure really sings.
With the new model, you can link your reMarkable to your Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook, and your tablet can create meeting notes prefilled with information with a tap, reducing time spent preparing for meetings. As someone who needs to scribble notes, I love being able to import documents from my Google Drive and having them automatically turned into paper tablet-native text documents – which I can then easily reupload back to my Drive when I’m done (tell you what, it’s a blessing for when you need to sign documents!).
With the Paper Pure you can also convert webpages saved through Remarkable’s Chrome extension or mobile apps into editable notebooks and you can now link your tablet to Slack for an even smoother workflow.
The reMarkable Paper Pure is 100% distraction free – there are no notifications, pop-ups or apps. I have an attention span that is utterly non-existent and I often struggle on my laptop (especially when I’m meant to be focusing on just writing) as I have too much temptation to go and check emails. Yes you can connect your tablet to the internet, but there’s no chance of you getting distracted by apps.
Less distraction, more focus, and £200 left over? That’s the kind of tech upgrade we can actually get behind.

This Car History Check Reveals Costly Secrets For One In Three Used Cars
We hope you love the products we recommend! All of them were independently selected by our editors. Just so you know, HuffPost UK may collect a share of sales or other compensation from the links on this page if you decide to shop from them. Oh, and FYI — prices are accurate and items in stock as of time of publication.
Buying a car is expensive. Between finance, dealership fees, road tax, maintenance, and insurance, choosing a new vehicle can be a costly decision.
With the price of new cars on the rise, it makes sense that more people are opting to buy used cars each year. Over 7.8 million used cars were bought in the UK in 2025, up 2.15% from the previous year and this is only projected to rise.
And while investing in a second hand car can save you thousands of pounds, it can also come with stratospheric hidden costs if you don’t properly investigate its past.
With the cost of new cars constantly fluctuating, and electronic vehicles being introduced into the market, it can be difficult to know whether you’re getting a fair deal on a used car.
As well as figuring out the fair price of a car, there is also its safety to consider.
Dishonest dealers can disguise themselves as private sellers to avoid having to be responsible for faulty cars, or those that have been written off by insurance.
If we learnt anything from Roald Dahl’s Mr Wormwood, it’s that there is also a risk that the mileage displayed on a car isn’t genuine.
In fact, one in 11 cars checked by HPI Check has a discrepancy with its mileage. This can not only reduce a car’s safety, but can lead to costly repairs further down the road.
And, we know what you’re thinking: it’s unlikely you’ll fall for a scam. But one in three cars run through HPI check has something to hide.
So to avoid being hit with unwanted bills and legal disputes down the line, using a car history check service can give you peace of mind.
To make sure you’re not gambling on whether the seller has been truthful about the history of your car, HPI check investigates everything you need to be aware of when buying a used car.
- If the car is reported as stolen
- If the car is an insurance write-off
- Whether there’s an outstanding loan or finance agreement on the car
- The number of its previous owners
- If the DVLA has marked the car as scrapped
- If the logbook is legitimate
- Mileage discrepancies
- How many number plate changes the car has had.
This will reveal whether or not you’ll be the rightful owner of your new car, and uncover if it has a dangerous past you need to be aware of.
The HPI check will also help you investigate if the car you want to buy is roadworthy, which will help you learn the true market value of the car and negotiate a fair deal with the seller.
According to one HPI check reviewer, the service saved him money and a long journey. “I saw the car I wanted, checked it through the HPI check website, and how relieved I was that I did check its history,” he said.
“It was an insurance write-off and the mileage was incorrect. It saved me from a very bad situation and having a conman making my life a misery. Money well spent.”
But it’s not just money you could save: using HPI check could also give you the confidence to navigate buying a used car in future, and save you the stress of dealing with a faulty one.
Another reviewer said: “We used HPI check because we trusted their information on a used car that we wanted to purchase. In the world of used cars this proved to be invaluable advice, we would recommend anyone thinking of buying a quality used car to use this service.”

Your Driving Style Could Predict Risk Of Dementia. Here Are The Early Signs
About 40% of people over 65 who have suspected dementia are not diagnosed with it in the UK, Alzheimer’s Research UK says.
That’s hard news to hear, given that a diagnosis can help those with the condition to access specialised support and help; the earlier it’s spotted, the better, too.
Perhaps some of that delay comes from the fact that most of us don’t know what the condition looks like.
A YouGov study, made with Alzheimer’s Research UK, found that only 49% of participants named memory loss as a symptom of dementia; 22% said they had no idea how it affects people at all.
No wonder early signs, like losing your sense of smell and struggling with tasks like grocery shopping, so often go unnoticed; another sign can appear while driving.
How does dementia affect driving?
According to the nonprofit Alzheimer’s Association, vision changes, balance issues, and visuospatial awareness loss are common among those with dementia ― even early dementia.
″[Dementia] may lead to difficulty with balance or trouble reading,” they write, adding, “They may also have problems judging distance and determining colour or contrast, causing issues with driving.”
Then, there’s the memory issue; those with dementia “may have trouble driving to a familiar location,” Alzheimer’s Association points out.
We’ve written before at HuffPost UK about a study which linked poor spatial awareness to the later development of dementia. It’s seen up to 25 years before the condition is picked up, though the study didn’t look at driving.
A dementia diagnosis does not prevent everyone from driving immediately
Alzheimer’s Society says that despite what many may believe, “a diagnosis of dementia is not in itself a reason to stop driving.”
One in three people diagnosed with dementia drive, they add; though “over time, dementia affects the skills needed for safe driving.”
This usually happens in the middle stage of dementia but can be later for some (though it’s inevitable).
Skills like being able to focus, reacting quickly, memorising routes, making good judgment, and (as mentioned above) having good visuospatial awareness are key to staying safe on the road, as is keeping an even temper.
These are all made harder by dementia.
If you have been struggling with any of the above while driving, stay off the road and seek medical help.

Tennessee Republicans pass new gerrymander following Supreme Court's Voting Rights Act ruling
Tennessee’s Republican-controlled legislature approved a new congressional map Thursday that dismantles the state’s majority-Black district and will likely secure them an all-GOP federal delegation.
The redraw comes as Republican-led Southern states scramble to enact new maps in the wake of last week’s Supreme Court ruling that weakened Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and opened the door to states blowing up blue districts drawn to protect the voting power of racial minorities.
The new map aims to draw the state’s lone Democratic congressional representative — Rep. Steve Cohen — out of his Memphis-area seat by splitting up majority-Black Shelby County. It also divides Maury County, likely delivering a more favorable district to Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.), who is on the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s target list.
“The Supreme Court has opined that redistricting, like the judicial system, should be color-blind,” said Tennessee House Speaker Cameron Sexton in a social media post. “The decision indicated states can redistrict based off partisan politics.”
Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee, a Republican, is expected to sign the map into law imminently. He called the legislature into a special session last week to pass the map.
“We owe it to Tennesseans to ensure our congressional districts accurately reflect the will of Tennessee voters,” Lee said in a statement Friday. “After consultation with the Lt. Governor, Speaker of the House, Attorney General, and Secretary of State, I believe the General Assembly has a responsibility to review the map and ensure it remains fair, legal, and defensible.”
Tennessee is the first state to finalize a new congressional map after last week’s Supreme Court decision. Louisiana’s GOP-controlled legislature is expected to unveil a new map as soon as this week, and Republicans in South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi and Alabama are pushing to do the same.

The Secret Code Actors Share When They Need To Go To Toilet And What Happens
I’ve been learning more about the urinary habits of celebs recently than I ever thought I would. First, it turned out that loads of singers use a pee bucket backstage if they’ve gotta go mid-concert (yes, really).
And now, it seems some on-screen talent have their own secret code to ask to go to the loo ― at least, that’s according to makeup mogul, singer, motel owner, and RuPaul’s Drag Race alum Trixie Mattel.
In a recent video, the drag star shared the behind-the-scenes secrets of reality TV. “I had to learn on my feet what exactly a TV set was,” the star said in the video ― and that included working out how to nip to the loo.
So, how’s it done?
“Did you know on television when you have to pee… you say, ‘I have to ten-one’, ’I’m taking her to ten-one,’‘she’s going to ten-one,’” Trixie shared.
“It’s a more elegant way of saying ‘go pee,’” the drag star added. “And on a TV set when I was 24 years old, my instinct was to go, ‘will someone take me to pee?’ And they’d be like, ‘you mean ten one?’”
Studio Binder confirms that 10-1 is walkie-talkie lingo for needing to pee ― and it turns out that 10-2 refers to needing to, well, go number two, as well.
They add that if you find you need more time in the bathroom than you’d expected as a TV cast member ― maybe that dodgy food from last night caught up with you out of nowhere ― you can ask to “upgrade your 10-1″ on the walkie-talkie too.
This will buy you more precious alone time.
“I have no idea where that came from,” Trixie shared, referring to the initial 10-1 code. Well, we think we might have answers ― the ten does seem to apply to the ten code, which refers to abbreviated speech you can use across telecoms, and one is, well, going number one.
But why you couldn’t just ask to pee instead is frankly a little beyond me. Perhaps I’m just inelegant…
There’s more pee drama (there’s always more)
This is less specific to TV shows in general and more applicable to drag ― but Trixie brought up the topic of urine again towards the end of her tell-all video.
“This one I’m going to be vague about, but we’re in drag for long days, and drag is very taxing on the body, and sometimes people don’t get to pee,” she said. “And sometimes pee happens… that’s all I’m going to say,” she added.
“I’ve never peed myself on Drag Race,” she pointed out, “but I know it’s happened. Whether or not people have said it happened, I think people have peed their pants and it hasn’t shown on camera so no-one knew.”
Basically, I’m learning that if you haven’t faced a pretty Medieval peeing system at least once in your showbiz career, you haven’t made it big. I knew fame wasn’t for me…

The White Lotus Season 4: More Character Details Teased After Helena Bonham Carter Exit
As fans eagerly await the upcoming fourth iteration of The White Lotus, more information has been teased about the characters we’ll be meeting when we check in this time around.
On Tuesday, Variety published a piece making some intriguing claims about who some members of the star-studded cast will be playing in the next run of episodes.
According to the outlet, Black Swan star Vincent Cassel will be occupying a space previously held by Murray Bartlett, Sabrina Impacciatore and Christian Friedel by portraying the White Lotus manager in the South of France.

It was also reported that White Lotus creator Mike White had envisaged that Helena Bonham Carter would play a “washed-out star who is chasing a comeback”.
Citing undisclosed “sources”, Variety went on to say that the British star left The White Lotus due to “creative differences”, notably Mike White wanting her to play the character in a more “boisterous” way.
Shortly after the Harry Potter actor parted ways with the project, it was announced that Oscar winner Laura Dern would be joining the cast, playing a new character who occupies a similar space in the ensemble to what the team had in mind for Helena’s.
The production team will film at the real Cannes Film Festival when it gets up and running later this month, before flying to Paris later in the summer to shoot certain sequences to avoid the French riviera’s busy season.
Besides the aforementioned Vincent and Laura, other cast members will include Steve Coogan, Kumail Nanjiani, Max Greenfield, Chris Messina, Sandra Bernhard, Rosie Perez and Heather Graham, in addition to some burgeoning new faces to the acting world.
Mike White previously claimed the new season would ponder “fame”, “who has the world’s attention”, “who is the plus-one” and “how that can organise a relationship”.
HuffPost UK has contacted the US broadcaster HBO for comment.

Viral TikTok Explains What Actors Are Really Smoking On Screen – And It’s Not Cigarettes
If you’ve ever sat through an episode of Peaky Blinders, you might find yourself wondering how the heck Cillian Murphy didn’t destroy his lungs playing the infamous Thomas Shelby.
Yup, there’s rarely a scene where the titular character isn’t puffing on a cigarette – so, what’s actually going on? Are they just destroying packets of cigarettes a la Dot Cotton actress June Brown?
Well, one TikToker has shared what our fave celebs are actually smoking – and it turns out things are far more herbal. (No, not that type of herb, before you get excited.)
Director David Ma (@davidwma) often shares the truth behind Hollywood trickery and in a video which has amassed a whopping 2.2 million likes, the film expert has revealed what stars are smoking.
David explained: “Most of the time, when you see actors smoking on screen we use something called prop cigarettes. They’re herbal cigarettes that are tobacco and nicotine and additive-free.”
Well, that explains why we’ve not got hundreds of actors out there with hacking coughs.
“They also look quite real in an actor’s fingers,” David added, sharing that Jon Hamm went through packs of these while filming Mad Men.
“When you cut one open you’ll notice there isn’t tobacco inside, it looks more like herb – not that ’erb – but you know, rose petal, clover and tea leaves.”
What about smoke? According to David this tends to be added in post-production, usually with CGI.
And as for Cillian? Turns out he went through a whopping 3,000 of the fake herbal cigarettes while portraying Tommy Shelby.

Is Coffee Or Tea Better For Your Bone Health?
Caffeinated drinks like tea and coffee seem to have a lot more health benefits than you might realise. They’ve been linked to a longer life, less stress, and even improved heart health.
But, per a paper recently published in the journal Nutrients, one may be slightly better than the other for maintaining women’s bone health by reducing osteoporosis as they age.
Which is better for women’s bone health: tea or coffee?
The 10-year study, which followed nearly 10,000 women over 65, saw “modest” benefits for tea drinkers.
This research asked participants to share their drinking habits throughout the trial period. Researchers also measured their bone density over time using imaging techniques.
At the end of the study, the paper authors noticed that women who drank tea over coffee had slightly higher bone mineral density in their hips. That’s important, because this is a joint especially prone to fracture when osteoporosis kicks in, as it does for a third of women over 50.
The advantage was only small. But, study author and adjunct associate professor Enwu Liu told Flinders University, that “even small improvements in bone density can translate into fewer fractures across large groups”.
That doesn’t mean drinking coffee was catastrophic, either. Drinking two to three cups a day didn’t seem to harm bone health at all; issues only arose among those who drank more than five cups daily.
Coffee affected some participants more than it did others, too. Those who consumed more alcohol over the course of their lifetime tended to see worse results from coffee consumption.
And women with obesity tended to see more benefits from tea.
Why might tea be better for our bones than coffee?
Study co-author Ryan Liu said that compounds in tea called catechins, which may help to boost bone formation and slow the rate at which they’re broken down, might explain the “modest” gap.
“Coffee’s caffeine content, by contrast, has been shown in laboratory studies to interfere with calcium absorption and bone metabolism,” Liu added.
Do I need to give up coffee to protect my bones?
The experts don’t seem to think so.
Negative effects kicked in at about coffee cup number five, and Ryan Liu said there’s a simple way to make your morning cuppa better for your bones – “these effects are small and can be offset by adding milk,” he said.
Enwu Liu added: “While moderate coffee drinking appears safe, very high consumption may not be ideal, especially for women who drink alcohol.
“Our results don’t mean you need to give up coffee or start drinking tea by the gallon. But they do suggest that moderate tea consumption could be one simple way to support bone health, and that very high coffee intake might not be ideal, especially for women who drink alcohol.”
He ended: “While calcium and vitamin D remain cornerstones of bone health, what’s in your cup could play a role too. For older women, enjoying a daily cup of tea may be more than a comforting ritual, it could be a small step toward stronger bones.”

Euphoria Creator Praises Sydney Sweeney Amid Season 3 Scenes Backlash
Euphoria boss Sam Levinson has been singing Sydney Sweeney’s praises as her scenes in the show’s ongoing third season continue to stir up controversy.
When the latest iteration of Euphoria debuted last month, Sydney’s character Cassie was reintroduced at a new stage of her life, having turned to OnlyFans to pay for her wedding to Jacob Elordi’s Nate.
With their big day now behind them, Cassie had initially planned to leave OnlyFans behind, but with her new husband’s debts to pay off, the latest instalment saw her returning to the adult site with even more extreme photo-shoots.
Meanwhile, another scene in the episode saw her snorting cocaine off a friend’s crotch, before rubbing the same drug on herself.
Sydney’s character’s story arc has raised eyebrows throughout season three, but the show’s creator has continued to heap praise on the Emmy-nominated actor’s performance.
During a Q&A for The Hollywood Reporter’s Directors In Focus event, Sam enthused: “What’s interesting is if you push it a little bit, she becomes brilliant. You just do a few more takes, and she can reach these levels that are very honest emotionally, but also deeply funny.
“She’s able to anchor the scene with this kind of madness and chaos going on around her.”
He was similarly effusive about the show’s lead, Zendaya, claiming: “What’s so spectacular about Zendaya as an actor is the physicality that she has, and I think it goes back to her Disney training, that she’s able to move with such humour and tell a story.”
Sydney has repeatedly called out the “double standard” she sees around the way male and female actors who have appeared nude on screen are treated, claiming back in 2022: “When a guy has a sex scene or shows his body, he still wins awards and gets praise. But the moment a girl does it, it’s completely different.”
More recently, Sam Levinson shared his intention with the portrayal of OnlyFans work in his show before season three started airing.
Euphoria continues on Sky and Now in the UK on Mondays.
