Michael Urie takes time to tell THR about how Apple TV+'s 'Shrinking' is lifting the long standing taboo of mental health care and how he hopes Hollywood still maintains minority representation amidst the pulling back of federal and cooperate DEI initiatives.

Former President Donald Trump hosted a Black History Month reception at the White House, rallying support from Black leaders while simultaneously pushing his administration's controversial move to end diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. Golf legend Tiger Woods made a surprise appearance, and Trump hinted at future political ambitions, asking the crowd, "Should I run again?" The event has sparked both praise and criticism.

The US Army has implemented an immediate ban on transgender recruits and halted all gender transition-related procedures for service members. This follows President Donald Trump’s executive order mandating adherence to biological Sex in the military. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has also eliminated DEI programs, emphasizing unity over diversity. The move reverses Biden’s 2021 repeal of Trump’s earlier ban. Advocacy groups estimate 15,000 transgender individuals serve in the military, though official reports suggest the number is much lower. Trump has also ended federal support for gender transition procedures for minors

The U.S. State Department has approved a massive $6.75 billion arms sale to Israel, including precision bombs, guidance kits, and Hellfire missiles, just as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets with Trump in Washington. This comes amid a fragile ceasefire in Gaza and growing global criticism of Trump’s push to relocate Palestinians and reshape the region. With deadly 2,000-pound bombs back in Israel’s arsenal after Biden had previously halted their delivery, is the ceasefire doomed?

The Panama Canal Authority has firmly denied recent U.S. claims that Panama has agreed to waive fees for U.S. government vessels transiting the canal. In a sharp rebuttal to the U.S. Department of State’s announcement, Panama clarified that no such changes have been made to the canal’s tolls or policies. The controversy arose after the U.S. claimed that Panama’s decision would save millions in fees, but the Panama Canal Authority stressed that it had not adjusted its policies and is prepared to discuss the issue with U.S. officials.
