Abby Phillip reflects on Jesse Jackson’s place in American politics | CNN Politics

By Dana Bash, CNN
Published 1:38 PM EST, Tue February 17, 2026

CNN’s Abby Phillip spent time with Reverend Jesse Jackson when she wrote her book, “A dream deferred: Jesse Jackson and the fight for Black political power”. She tells CNN’s Dana Bash, “This is a man who started out as a disciple of Dr. King in the 1960s, but he continued on to do so many other things. He spent a lot of time on this issue of economic equality… He had two groundbreaking campaigns for the presidency and those campaigns really laid the groundwork for the next three decades of Democratic politics.”

U.S. Air Force VIP fleet being repainted in Trump’s preferred palette, sources say

February 17, 2026 / 2:18 PM EST / CBS News

The Kennedy-era paint colors on the exterior of aircraft in the U.S. Air Force presidential and VIP fleet are being replaced with a new design in President Trump’s preferred palette. The new colors will appear on planes including the donated Qatari jet and two planes Boeing is converting to serve as Air Force One, sources told CBS News.

Some of the blue and white aircraft are already being repainted in dark navy blue, deep red and gold as they come in for scheduled due repairs and maintenance, the officials said.

The classic robin’s egg blue color scheme of the current fleet dates back to the Kennedy administration.

The new red, dark blue and white paint job is being required for Air Force One jets as well as others in the executive fleet, including the new 747-8i from Qatar and C-32 aircraft, an Air Force spokesperson said.

Mr. Trump in his first term rolled out a model airplane with the paint colors he wanted for Air Force One, but President Joe Biden canceled that paint design for the VC-25Bs, the Defense Department’s version of the Boeing 747 airliner.

The new paint requirement includes the smaller C-32 aircraft, which carry high-priority personnel such as the first lady or top cabinet officials, and serve as Air Force Two when the vice president is aboard.

Contractor L3 Harris has been upgrading the Air Force Two planes at its plant in Greenville, Texas.

Boeing continues to work on a new generation of Air Force One planes in a deal signed in 2018. Meanwhile, the plane donated by Qatar that the Air Force is refurbishing is expected to be ready for use as Air Force One no later than this summer.

The first C-32 has been painted and is expected to be delivered to the Air Force in the next few months.

The War Zone, a defense news and analysis website, reported on images of the C-32 painted in the new color scheme.

US military says it killed 11 people in strikes on three alleged drug boats

Late on February 16, 2026, the US military conducted strikes on three vessels killing 11, US Southern Command said in a statement.

US Southern Command

The US military struck three alleged drug-trafficking vessels in the eastern Pacific and Caribbean on Monday night, killing all 11 people on board, US Southern Command said Tuesday.

“Intelligence confirmed the vessels were transiting along known narco-trafficking routes and were engaged in narco-trafficking operations,” Southern Command said in a statement. “Eleven male narco-terrorists were killed during these actions, 4 on the first vessel in the Eastern Pacific, 4 on the second vessel in the Eastern Pacific, and 3 on the third vessel in the Caribbean. No U.S. military forces were harmed.”

The strikes bring the death toll from the US campaign, which began in September, up to at least 135 people killed, with several more survivors of the strikes presumed dead. The last US strike on a suspected drug-trafficking vessel was carried out Friday in the Caribbean and killed three people, according to Southern Command.

Last fall, the Trump administration produced a classified legal opinion that justified the lethal strikes against a secret list of at least two dozen cartels and suspected drug traffickers classifying them as enemy combatants, CNN has reported.

The strikes have come under intense scrutiny, however, by legal experts and Democratic members of Congress who say they amount to murdering civilians since the US is not in a declared, congressionally authorized war with drug cartels.

In at least one instance last September, the US military deliberately killed survivors after an initial strike on an alleged trafficking vessel did not kill everyone on board, prompting accusations that the US had committed a war crime and sparking congressional investigations.

Before the US military began blowing up boats in September, countering illicit drug trafficking was handled by law enforcement and the US Coast Guard, and cartel members and drug smugglers were treated as criminals with due process rights. The Coast Guard has continued to interdict drug-trafficking vessels and seizing narcotics in the eastern Pacific without the use of lethal force.

美国民权领袖杰克逊逝世 享年84岁

美国民权领袖杰克逊逝世，享年84岁。

法新社报道，美国资深民权活动人士杰克逊（Jesse Jackson）牧师星期二（2月17日）上午安详去世。

美国总统特朗普对杰克逊的离世表示哀悼，并称他“是一个好人，个性鲜明，坚韧不拔，而且很有‘街头智慧’”。

杰克逊的家人发声明说，杰克逊牧师是美国最具影响力的黑人领袖之一。“我们的父亲是一位服务型领袖——他不仅服务于我们的家庭，也服务于世界各地受压迫者、无声者和被忽视者。”

声明也说：“他对正义、平等和爱的坚定信念激励了千百万人，我们恳请大家继续为他毕生秉持的价值观而奋斗，以此缅怀他。”

杰克逊的家人没有公布死因，但杰克逊曾在2017年透露自己患有帕金森氏症。据媒体报道，他去年11月因另一种神经退行疾病入院接受观察。

杰克逊自20世纪60年代以来一直是民权运动的领袖，60多年来为非裔美国人在国家舞台上拓展了空间。

杰克逊原名杰西·路易斯·伯恩斯，1941年10月8日出生于南卡罗来纳州格林维尔。他后来随继父查尔斯·杰克逊的姓氏。他曾说过：“我并非含着金汤匙出生，而是天生就该用铁锹干活。”

他在种族隔离的高中里成绩优异，并凭借橄榄球特长获得伊利诺伊大学的奖学金。但后来他转学到以黑人学生为主的北卡罗来纳州农业技术学院，并在那里获得了社会学学位。

1960年，他参加在格林维尔举行的第一次静坐示威，随后又参加1965年从塞尔玛到蒙哥马利的民权游行，并在那里引起民权领袖马丁·路德·金的注意。两人后来曾一起参加民权活动。

杰克逊后来成为多个重要国际领域的调解人和使者。

他积极倡导结束南非的种族隔离制度，并在20世纪90年代担任克林顿总统的非洲事务特使。他也前往叙利亚、伊拉克和塞尔维亚等地，为释放美国囚犯奔走斡旋。

1996年，他创立总部设于芝加哥、致力于社会正义与政治行动的“彩虹联盟”（Rainbow PUSH Coalition）。

在2009年巴拉克·奥巴马就任总统之前，杰克逊一直是竞逐美国总统职位中最知名的黑人政治人物，并曾在上世纪80年代两度争取民主党总统候选人提名，但都未成功。

伊朗外长：谈判富有“建设性” 美伊达成指导原则 | 联合早报

伊朗外长：谈判富有“建设性” 美伊达成指导原则

伊朗外长阿拉格奇星期二（2月17日）在美伊会谈后说，两国已达成指导原则，他强调“这并不意味着我们能够迅速达成协议，但至少我们已经迈出了第一步。” （法新社）

伊朗外长阿拉格奇说，伊美最新一轮会谈达成了“一套指导原则”，为达成协议铺平了道路。

法新社报道，阿拉格奇星期二（2月17日）接受伊朗国家电视台采访时说，双方已就一系列指导原则达成广泛的共识，这些原则将纳入最终的协议。

他也说：“我可以肯定地说，与上一轮会谈相比，本轮会谈的讨论更加严肃认真，气氛也更加建设性。”

尽管双方已开始朝着达成协议的方向迈进，但阿拉格奇指出：“这并不意味着我们能迅速达成协议。”

他补充道：“我们希望这一进程能够尽快完成，我们也准备为此投入足够的时间。”

他承认，缩小双方立场之间的差距“需要时间”，但“至少我们现在有了一套指导原则，也找到一条更加清晰的前进道路”。

阿拉格奇说，第三轮会谈“尚未确定具体时间”。“双方同意继续就协议草案进行磋商，之后将交换草案，并确定第三轮会谈的日期。”

不过，阿拉格奇说，美国应立即停止威胁对伊朗使用武力。

德黑兰和华盛顿星期二刚结束第二轮会谈，这次会谈是在华盛顿向中东部署航母战斗群之后举行的。美国总统特朗普曾多次威胁要进行军事干预，并在会谈前曾警告，如果德黑兰未能达成协议，将会面临后果。

伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队星期一（16日）也在中东战略要道霍尔木兹海峡展开军事演习，并称将在演习期间出于“安全”考虑关闭部分航道。

另据伊朗最高领袖办公室官方网站，哈梅内伊当天在接见东阿塞拜疆省民众时说，伊朗民族拥有威慑性武器是必要的。“美国干涉（伊朗的）武器问题，说伊朗不应拥有某种类型或某种射程的导弹。这属于伊朗自身事务，与美国无关。”

哈梅内伊指出，美国的“不讲道理”是导致国家走向衰落的一种迹象，并警告称伊朗有能力击沉部署在海湾地区的美国军舰。

ShamWoW Guy makes bid for Congress in Texas: ‘This woke mess won’t clean itself’ | Fox News

ShamWoW Guy reveals what is motivating him to run for Congress: ‘This woke mess won’t clean itself’

‘Vote for me, a guy who’s not half dead,’ ShamWow Guy said, referring to the GOP incumbent

By Peter Pinedo
Fox News

Published February 17, 2026 8:00am EST | Updated February 17, 2026 9:14am EST

EXCLUSIVE:Vince Offer Shlomi, more commonly known to the masses as the “ShamWow Guy,” is running for Congress in Texas as an anti-establishment Republican vowing to “clean the swamp.”

If elected, Shlomi, who is beloved for his high-energy late-night ShamWow and “Slap Chop” commercials, has said he will “destroy wokeism,” quipping on his campaign website, “This woke mess won’t clean itself.”

In a recent ad, Shlomi, 61, knocked 84-year-old incumbent Republican Rep. John Carter’s cognitive ability as “worse than Biden,” saying, “vote for me, a guy who’s not half dead.”

Despite President Donald Trump endorsing Carter for re-election, Shlomi believes he would be a better ally in Congress for the president. He suggested Carter is no longer up for the job, likening his continued presence in the House of Representatives to a form of elder abuse.

“He’s not a fighter,” said Shlomi, adding, “It’s not that he’s old, but his capacity is lacking and Trump doesn’t know that.”

After years in the media world, Shlomi said he decided to break into politics after “seeing the decline of the civilization.”

“I’m seeing people not standing up to things. Not thinking about God… kind of afraid, they’re kind of intimidated, walking on eggshells,” he explained. “I feel that we need to fight a little bit stronger on just the commonsense American value ideas.”

“I want to bring wholesomeness back to America,” he said.

He also framed his candidacy as standing up to the GOP establishment, something he believes has already put a target on his back.

He believes that “someone” in the GOP deleted his nickname from the ballot to reduce his name recognition. Candidates using nicknames on the ballot is very common, but nicknames tied to brand names or products are rarer.

“I think they’re trying to hoodwink the voters from not knowing who I am,” said Shlomi, adding, “Honestly, it’s a swampy move, and that’s one of the things I’ll be working on when I get to Congress.”

Though describing his election effort as an “uphill battle,” Shlomi said he believes it is part of a “higher purpose.”

“The bottom line is I want to help clean the swamp,” he said. “I’ve just seen the world, I’m looking at athletes, and they’re not standing up for kids, or standing up for girls, and they just go with whatever pays the most money. So, I just thought, you know what? I’m not a brave person, but I just can’t let this happen.”

TURNING POINT ISSUES MAJOR ENDORSEMENT IN CRITICAL SENATE RACE AS TRUMP HINTS AT WEIGHING IN

Regarding Shlomi’s ballot name, Abraham George, chairman of the Republican Party of Texas, told Fox News Digital, “The National Republican Congressional Committee challenged Mr. Shlomi’s ballot nickname – ‘ShamWow’” and “after considering the law, including Texas Election Code section 52.031, the Republican Party of Texas determined that this challenge was well taken and Mr. Shlomi’s ballot nickname was eliminated. Nicknames that indicate an economic affiliation are impermissible by law.”

US homebuilder sentiment remains subdued amid affordability challenges

WASHINGTON, Feb 17 (Reuters) – U.S. homebuilder sentiment deteriorated in February, weighed down by persistently high land and construction costs as well as still-elevated house prices relative to incomes that are keeping prospective buyers on the sidelines, a survey showed on Tuesday.

The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market index eased one point to 36 this month, remaining below the 50 break-even point for 22 straight months.

Economists polled by Reuters had forecast the index climbing to 38.

Confidence has remained depressed despite attempts by the Trump administration to make housing more affordable, including purchases of mortgage-backed securities and banning institutional investors from buying single-family homes.

“Builders reduced their expectations for future sales as buyers report affordability challenges, which is contributing to declining consumer confidence for the overall economy,” said NAHB Chairman Buddy Hughes.

“While the majority of builders continue to deploy buyer incentives, including price cuts, many prospective buyers remain on the sidelines.”

President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs have raised prices for building materials and appliances, while his immigration crackdown, including raids at construction sites, has undercut labor supply. Building lots are also scarce.

Soft housing demand has led to an overhang of unsold new homes, another challenge confronting builders.

Though the share of builders reporting cutting prices fell to a nine-month low of 36% from 40% in January, the NAHB said the average price reduction remained at 6%.

The share using incentives was unchanged at 65%. It was the 11th consecutive month that this share has exceeded 60%.

The survey’s measure of current sales conditions was steady at 41, while its gauge of future sales fell three points to 46. A measure of prospective buyer traffic dropped two points to 22.

“The solution for the housing market is the enactment of policies that will bend the construction cost curve and enable additional supply of attainable housing,” said NAHB chief economist Robert Dietz. “On the positive side, easing inflation should continue to allow lower interest rates for mortgages and builder loans.”

As U.S. brokers new Ukraine-Russia talks, Zelenksyy says attack shows Putin “disregards peace efforts”

Updated on: February 17, 2026 / 11:11 AM EST / CBS News

Kyiv — Negotiators from Russia and Ukraine engaged Tuesday in a third round of U.S.-mediated peace talks, but there was little hope of any imminent breakthrough on a deal to end the deadliest war on European soil in 80 years.

The negotiators sat down in Geneva a week before Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine was set to enter its fifth year.

Expectations for the negotiations in Switzerland were low because Kyiv and Moscow remain a long way apart on two fundamental issues: Russia’s demand to be granted internationally recognized ownership of occupied territory in eastern Ukraine, and what measures are put in place for Kyiv’s Western partners — most importantly the U.S.— to guarantee its security going forward once a ceasefire is implemented.

Russia currently controls around 20% of Ukrainian land, but over almost four years of grinding war, those territorial gains are thought to have cost Russia over a million casualties.

Despite that huge cost, Putin has refused to budge on his demand that a huge swath of eastern Ukraine be formally handed over to Russia as part of any peace deal.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been consistent in rejecting such a sacrifice to end the war. He posted on social media as recently as Monday that it would be a “big mistake to allow the aggressor to take something.”

He’s been backed up on that point by a number of European leaders and the head of NATO, but the Trump administration has at times pushed Ukraine to accept some territorial concession to achieve a peace deal.

Ukraine, which was first invaded by Russia in 2014, eight years before Putin ordered the full-scale assault on Feb. 24, 2022, wants its partners in Washington and Europe to commit to preventing any further Russian assaults — even as the current one shows no signs of letting up despite the diplomacy taking place in Geneva.

Ukraine’s air force said Tuesday that Russia launched 396 drones and 29 missiles overnight. It said 25 of the missiles and 367 of the drones were intercepted, but Zelenskyy pointed to the latest attack as further evidence that Moscow “disregards peace efforts.”

“Strength of pressure on the Russian Federation — sanctions pressure and steady, rapid support for the Ukrainian army and our air defense,” would be needed to back up the diplomacy, he said in a social media post.

The war launched by Putin nearly four years ago has forced millions of Ukrainians from their homes and killed around 15,000 civilians, according to the United Nations.

This winter, the weather in Ukraine has been particularly harsh, with temperatures well below zero, and part of Russia’s strategy has been to strike Ukraine’s power grid, leaving civilians with a disrupted supply of electricity and heat in the freezing conditions.
