The Trump administration withdrew assistance from Myanmar's military on Tuesday in response to the forces' recorded atrocities against the minority Rohingya population, The Guardian reports. The State Department is also considering additional targeted sanctions under the Global Magnitsky Act, "a law that allows the U.S. to freeze assets and impose visa bans on selected individuals," NPR writes.

Since the crisis broke out in August, more than 600,000 refugees have fled Myanmar (formerly known as Burma) into neighboring Bangladesh and hundreds more have been killed by security forces. The United Nations deemed the violence "textbook genocide." The Trump administration has been criticized for its slow reaction to the crisis, with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson saying the U.S. is "extraordinarily concerned," but taking little action so far.

"The Obama administration had a Burma policy, it was reasonably effective," David Steinberg, the former director of Asian studies at Georgetown University, told The Washington Post. "The Trump administration has no policy."

In a statement Tuesday, the State Department explained: "We have rescinded invitations for senior Burmese security forces to attend U.S.-sponsored events; we are working with international partners to urge that Burma enables unhindered access to relevant areas for the United Nations Fact-Finding Mission, international humanitarian organizations, and media." Some experts fear that will not be enough: "There must also be an effort to seriously engage the Burmese military leadership," the Post's Josh Rogin writes.

If it hasn't yet hit you how big a deal it is that Disney's purchase of most of Fox has gone through, look no further than the bizarre sight that is the company's new website.

Disney's $71 billion takeover of Fox's assets was officially completed just after midnight on Wednesday, and an update to the official Walt Disney Company website was ready to go almost immediately, as pointed out by The Hollywood Reporter. A banner on the homepage now features a mix of classic Disney properties and Fox ones that are now under its control. Mickey Mouse and Queen Elsa are there, but so are Deadpool and Bart Simpson. The website also features images from the new Disney properties like Avatar, Atlanta, and The Shape of Water, mixed with classic ones like Star Wars and Toy Story.

Disney did not take over all of Fox, as Fox Sports, Fox Business Network, Fox News, and the Fox broadcast network were spun off into a new company, Fox Corporation. But 20th Century Fox's film and TV shows have gone to Disney, with some of the other properties they now control including X-Men, Alien, and Family Guy.

Clearly, Disney was excited to show off some of its new toys with this website change, one of which, Avatar, is the highest-grossing film of all time and has four sequels on the way. The image from Deadpool is particularly interesting and supports the theory that Ryan Reynolds' foul-mouthed version of the character might be incorporated into Disney's Marvel Cinematic Universe. And we're not saying a crossover between Star Wars and The Shape of Water is likely, but yes, that's now technically a thing that could happen. Brendan Morrow

The 2020 Democratic presidential primary campaigns have garnered a lot of public attention already. But apparently many Democratic voters have kept their attention on Congress in the hopes of maintaining their party's new majority, which came into effect in January.

The House Democrats' campaign arm announced on Wednesday that it raised $11.6 million in February, more than in any previous February in history, per The Hill, and more than $4 million more than in January. Grassroots donations accounted for $4.6 million of the total.

"The fact that we just had our strongest February in the history of the DCCC show that our momentum is really growing," Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee chair Cheri Bustos said in a statement.

The increase in donations may also be reflected in a Gallup poll published on Tuesday, which shows that the congressional approval rating has hit a two-year high. The number itself is not a pretty sight — according to the poll, just 26 percent of Americans' approve of the job Congress is doing. But considering that congressional approval has averaged only 30 percent since 1974, it's not out of the realm of respectability. Unsurprisingly, with the new majority in tow, Democrats are more likely to approve of Congress, registering a 31 percent favorable rating compared to just 18 percent of Republicans.

Gallup conducted its poll between March 1 and March 10 via telephone interviews with a random sample of 1,039 U.S. adults. The margin of error is 5 percentage points. Tim O'Donnell

Theresa May officially wants to put the breaks on Brexit.

The U.K. prime minister's plans for Britain's exit from the EU have continued to falter, prompting votes that question confidence in her leadership and even calls for her to resign. And in a sure sign that May still hasn't figured things out, she asked European Council President Donald Tusk on Wednesday for a three-month extension on Britain's stay in the EU.

May is set to meet with EU leaders on Thursday and, with a previously set Brexit deadline of March 29 less than two weeks away, was expected to ask for an extension, Politico reports. May told MPs Tuesday that she wouldn't delay Brexit any further than her June 30 request, per BBC. Still, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker responded by "formally warn[ing] May that if an extension is granted beyond May 23's European Parliament elections, there would be "institutional difficulties and legal uncertainty," CNN notes.

Britain voted to leave the EU more than two years ago, but has struggled to come up with a deal that would preserve trade relations with the bloc. Parliament has continually shot down May's proposed deals to exit, but also ruled out a no-deal Brexit with a non-binding vote last week. Kathryn Krawczyk

The first trailer for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is here, and it looks like the movie Quentin Tarantino has been preparing to make all his life.

The ninth film from the acclaimed director, who is known for his obsession with movie history and tropes, takes place in 1969 Hollywood and follows Rick Dalton, a washed-up actor played by Leonardo DiCaprio, and his stunt double, played by Brad Pitt. The new footage shows that Tarantino went all out in faithfully recreating the era, complete with the director's beloved Cinerama theater on Sunset Boulevard. Even the title pays tribute to Sergio Leone, an influence on Tarantino.

Margot Robbie also stars in the film as actress Sharon Tate, who was murdered by followers of Charles Manson the year the movie takes place. But although that real-life tragedy hangs over the film, the trailer's got an upbeat tone, complete with DiCaprio dancing on a variety show and Pitt fighting "Bruce Lee" after informing him that accidentally killing a person will, in fact, land you in jail. The footage teases a killer soundtrack, laugh-out-loud dialogue, a celebration of the art of filmmaking, and, more than likely, horrifying violence. In other words, it's definitely a Tarantino movie.

The trailer doesn't highlight the film's full, ridiculously impressive cast, but it also consists of Al Pacino, Kurt Russell, Michael Madsen, James Mardsen, Tim Roth, Timothy Olyphant, Dakota Fanning, Damian Lewis, Bruce Dern, and Luke Perry.

The world of Hawkins, Indiana is about to turn upside down — again.

Netflix on Wednesday debuted the first trailer for the third season of Stranger Things, which teases a summer theme, trouble for one particular character, and a downright horrifying new creature.

After an extended opening sequence in which the gang uses Eleven's powers to play a prank on Dustin, we see footage of the kids living it up over the summer after two seasons set during the fall. But they're getting older, as the trailer makes abundantly clear when Mike defensively declares, "we're not kids anymore." It seems something will threaten to tear the group apart during the season, with Will looking wistfully at a photo of a more innocent time — that time being season 2.

The trailer also teases the introduction of a new mall in Hawkins, which promises to be a central location, as well as a new character in Mayor Kline, played by Cary Elwes. But what's the season's central conflict? Well, the trailer features a brief shot of Billy Hargrove in the shower with some sort of infection on his arm, and it concludes with Steve being confronted by a horrifying new creature, which looks like the Demogorgon mixed with the Blob. Could that infection have actually transformed Billy into this monster? Or might Billy become possessed much like Will was last season?

We'll find out when the third season of Stranger Things premieres on July 4. Watch the trailer below. Brendan Morrow

President Trump has angrily tweeted about the husband of one of his advisers for two days in a row.

Trump on Wednesday tweeted that George Conway, the husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, is "very jealous of his wife's success" and "angry" he wasn't given a job "he so desperately wanted." Trump also called Conway a "stone cold loser" and a "husband from hell!"

George Conway is a vocal Trump critic and has recently been suggesting the president's mental state is a serious cause for concern and likely indicative of a personality disorder. Trump had been advised to ignore Conway's tweeting, reports AP's Jonathan Lemire, but the president ignored that advice on Tuesday, lashing out at Conway by calling him a "total loser!"

This prompted Conway to speak with The Washington Post later in the day, detailing a number of interactions he's had with the president and saying Trump offered him a job at the Justice Department which he turned down. The Post also reported that Kellyanne Conway "went on a lengthy rant about her husband" at an event last month, saying "she and the president think her husband is jealous of her."

Conway responded to Trump's latest tweet on Wednesday morning by writing, "You seem determined to prove my point. Good for you! #NarcissisticPersonalityDisorder." Brendan Morrow
